Two things happened yesterday. One: I lost NaNoWriMo with a wordcount of about 15,000. (Which I had sort of figured on and am not overly upset about.) Two: Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally was released! Check out the Goodreads blurb:
What girl doesn't want to be surrounded by gorgeous jocks day in and day out? Jordan Woods isn't just surrounded by hot guys, though - she leads them as the captain and quarterback on her high school football team. They all see her as one of the guys, and that's just fine. As long as she gets her athletic scholarship to a powerhouse university. But now there's a new guy in town who threatens her starring position on the team... and has her suddenly wishing to be seen as more than just a teammate.It's not at all what I normally read, but it sounds sweet and funny (and Miranda is awesome on Twitter). Plus, I'm delighted to announce that I have awesome swag to give away!
*cue confetti*
I've got two bookmarks, two stickers, and two postcards from Miranda, so two lucky winners will each receive a swag set. If I get fifty entries or more? Well...you might convince me to add another prize or two. Just fill out the Google Docs form below, and don't forget to pick up your copy of Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally!
*Edit* This contest will run through December 21st and I'll get the prizes mailed out over winter break! */Edit*

The first time I did NaNoWriMo, I lost with a word count of 750. I was part of a group and consoled myself with the fact that someone had to come in dead last, and I kept all of them from being It. My goal this year was 30,000 and I just missed the cut at 29,779.
Hahaha, considering this was my first shot, I don't feel so bad now! And 29,779 is definitely respectable. I feel a little woozy just thinking about writing that in a month at my current pace.
