Maybe she is busy This board voted for her in her romance writing contest…I think she came in 2nd and was offered a contract even tho the prize of a contract was supposed to be the first place vote getter…she got one, too. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 On 3/22/2024 at 4:33 PM, Hannah said: At the time many people started blogging. She put in a lot of effort and kept at it consistently. What drew people in was her fun way of writing about her everyday life on the ranch and her great photographs. I googled it and she won a national blogging award in 2009. I'm not sure if she was still on the boards then, but there was a lot of excitement that one of our own had made it. It also led to some jealousy and spoof blogs, unfortunately. She also had very regular giveaways based on leaving a comment…those $50 Starbucks gift cards & Amazon cards she “found in her junk drawer” helped draw people in, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
