How I Procrastinate

So we talked about the importance of contact buttons and how to install them on your blog here. Then I held a little contest for a custom button, which Angela won. (Yea, Angela!) And since I was supposed to be working on my writing, I made these:

I set up a page here with code for each one, if you'd like to use one for your blog. And if you decide to use one and you want to leave me a link in the comments, I'd love to see them out there in the world. ;)

So, what do you do to procrastinate? Any exciting happenings that I missed while I was unplugged?

And there's still time to enter my Awesome Followers Giveaway. Don't miss it! :)

Unplugging

I'm totally into my rewrite right now, so I'm unplugging for the next week and a half. I'll be back March 27th for my blog chain post and then back to the regular schedule on the 28th.

And in case you missed it, I'm having a book giveaway. Be sure to check it out! :)

Happy writing, everyone!

Winner Coming Soon....

I thought I would have more time this morning--stupid Daylight Savings Time--but I will post the winner of the custom contact button later today. I'll also be posting about my book giveaway, so be sure to check back. :)

In the mean time, I'm wondering, is there anyone out there who likes DST? I got along just fine without it in Arizona, so now that I'm living in a state that participates in it, I think it should go away forever. Honestly, I hate it and really don't understand the point.

Any thoughts? I'd love to hear a good argument in favor of DST. Or if you just want to vent about the sheer stupidity of it, that's cool too. :)
