Weekend of Legend goal posts and prizes!
As I mentioned last night, the Weekend of Legend is my writing frenzy with a group of author friends, where we all set goals, ask you to help, and reward you with great prizes!Here's what I have planned, for the writing of The David Book (not the official title, obviously):
1000 words: Your choice of SHADE or WVMP swag pack, which include things like signed bookmarks stickers, buttons, note cards--and new for WVMP: cover flats!
Start Time: 4:40pm EST
End Time: 11pm
Question: @ me a pic of an adorable hat for David's hippie/hipster girlfriend Bailey. I picture her played by Dakota Fanning, if that helps (not creepy Twilight DF, more like natural, no-makeup, even frizzy haired but still gorgeous DF, though I think this photo captures Bailey's sunny outlook best).

Question: What's my favorite band? (Hint: it's not one of the above bands, but there is an easy way to find out.) I will do a random draw from all correct answers--you MUST spell the band name exactly right. Please @ me with your answer, using #WOL2 & #9K hashtags.
Winner: @RPattz
10,000 words: Get your name in the David book, AND be among the first to get an Advance Review Copy (ARC) when they're available next year! Oh, and I'll throw in a copy of Arcade Fire's Neon Bible, the single most important piece of music to this novel and possibly the greatest concept album ever.
Word Count: 10,070
Winner: @c_cass189
RULES
When I reach each milestone, I will ask a question on Twitter, adding the hashtags #WOL2 and #1K, #2K, and so on, depending on the milestone.
To enter the drawing, you MUST include:
- #WOL2 hashtag
- specific giveaway hashtag (#1K, #2500, etc.)
- my twitter handle @jsmithready
There'll be many contests going on all weekend on the #WOL2 hashtag, so this'll help me keep track. I will let each contest go for six hours to give people in various time zones more chance to participate, and I will announce when each giveaway is closed. Winners will be drawn using Random.org.
ALL ENTRIES will put you in the running for the grand prize, but I will only count one entry per person per giveaway. So you'll have a maximum of eight entries.
International peeps, listen up! iTunes won't let me give you stuff, so you'll be ineligible for those prizes, but as I just mentioned, ALL ENTRIES will put you in the running for the grand prize, so don't hesitate to join the fun.
***Also, for international winners of books, I will send your book via Book Depository and mail you a separate signed bookplate, rather than a signed book directly from me. Lately the Postal Service's customs process has become a major pain in the patootie.
All prizes mailed from my home (swag packs, domestic book shipments) will include a David-oriented button, so he can come along for the ride. Here's an example, which his girlfriend Bailey would love:

OK, time for me to go get ready to WRITE WRITE WRITE so you can WIN WIN WIN!!
Also so that I can meet my deadline.
