Writer's Wednesday- And the Winner is...

The Winner of my Blog Redesign contest is....

CHERYL!

Congrats, Cheryl. I will be emailing you to let you know how to proceed. I hope your new blog look is something you will be very happy with.  And I am sure it will be.

Still want a new look?
Now to all those who didn't win, but indicated that they wanted a new blog design why not get in contact with Jayna and see what you can cook up together?
Remember my new blog look only cost $30! Considering that it is an investment in your career as a writer I think it's money well spent. And let's face it, blog design can be VERY expensive. Jayna's rates are down right reasonable and affordable.

Writer's Wednesday
I've been at this writing thing for a while now, published in multiple magazines, and I think I might have something of worth to say about it all. So, Writer's Wednesday will be dedicated specifically to writers.
No, I 'm not going to turn into a how-to blog. I'm not going to give you ten good reasons why you should eliminate flowery prose or tell you how to craft a hook. But I am going to deal with some of the demons that plague a writer's mind. I am going to get real honest about some of the things that have worked for me and some of the things that can mean the difference between quitting and pushing your writing to new levels. The writer's soul is what I am about. So, please come and join me on Wednesdays. I'd love to see you here!

Monday and Fridays posts will be the ME you have always known.  Poetry, prose, a few laughs about being a 'Writing Mommy' and the inspiration and hope I have found in life as I see it THROUGH MY EYES.

Join me then :)

WHY A WRITER NEEDS A PROFESSIONAL LOOKING BLOG.

• If you are a writer then your blog is a show case for you and your work. You put time and effort into those posts. Why not have a great space to display them?
• First impressions count.  Sorry, but it IS about judging a book by its cover when it comes to blog looks. Agents and editors frequently check out potential clients' blogs. That should be enough to scare you into having a reasonably presentable blog. :)
• Your blog is apart of your 'branding' as an author. Your blog says YOU. It should be something that gives us a feel for what you write and/or post about. It should also inspire people to stay awhile and check out your work. Example, if you write edgy YA, and you keep a blog to build a readership, then think about what kind of look your target audience is likely to appreciate. 

The whole look of my blog cost $30! Yes, you read that right! What are you waiting for? Go and check out Jayna's services at  http://friendofafrienddesigns.blogspot.com/
