I know I just posted, but...

Holy crap! I have 58 followers! How did that happen? This is an auspicious occasion because I started my blog 58 days ago and got my 58th follower on my 58th day so I want to do something special. Not a lot of fame for the number 58 is there? Now, if I'd gotten my 69th follower on my 69th day... well, we won't ponder what kind of contest I'd inevitably contrive. It'd be DIRTY. Like... okay, my page is unrated, so I won't go into details, even hypothetical ones.

I've gotten a couple awards and will post those in the next couple of days (in case you gifters are wondering what the hold up is or if I'm ignoring them or hoarding them).

Progress report: I finished chapter 2 of my new WIP. It's a satirical fantasy... sorta. Query interest for Lesser Evils: 0. Rejections: 35. Outstanding: 23.

TO MY NEW FOLLOWERS: I post little short stories, about a page long. They are on the side bar under Interpretive Rants if you ever ...yanno... get bored and want something to read.

So back to the point... something special for 58/58. Any ideas? Contest? Group hug? Cyberpimping?

I think I'm your 58th follower! I deserve a present. Oh, wait, this isn't about me. Forgot for a second.

Happy to be following you! :o)

Congrats on your followers! I'm interested in your book that you are querying. What's it about?

Christi Goddard said...

E. Elle: We can MAKE it about YOU!

Christi Goddard said...

Aubrie: My book is about paranormals, time travel, futile challenges, hopeless love, true friendship, sacrifices, family bonds, war, revenge, and the unexpected gifts of fate.

And a couple of really funny boys.

I just had to comment that I misread that as "Lesser Elvis" and did a triple take ...

Deniz Bevan said...

Hmmm... what about a story with one line written by each of your 58 followers? I think I just made 59 by the way :-)

JE said...

I'm jealous :-P But, I'll take the group pimping ;-)

Good job on the new WIP. I totally want to read that when you are done.

Wow! Way to go! Hmm.. Cyberpimping. Dunno if that's legal... XD
Congrats on getting 58 followers in 58 days. I think I just barely found you, thought you'd been around for a while and I totally missed something. Glad I am here for the ride!

Shannon O'Donnell said...

Yay, Christie! Congrats on the rapid growth of your blog - that's awesome. :-)

Cyberpimping. 'Nuff said.

Shelley Sly said...

Congrats! How funny that 58 is the magical number. 58... 5 + 8 = 13, which can be lucky or unlucky, depending on if you're superstitious. Just thought I'd mention that. (Sorry, my mind works in weird ways when it comes to numbers.) Personally, I think the 58 is a good thing.

Anne Gallagher said...

Hey, it's 60 now, keep it up and you'll get to 300 in no time.

And people follow you because you are intriguing, mystical, and a great writer who isn't afraid to speak the TRUTH and get down to the nitty-girtty of humanity.

Christi Goddard said...

Lindsey: I miss Lesser Elvis. It's a shame he died when he was Lotta Elvis.

Deniz: Good idea. I'll have to think about it.

Justine: Absolutely. I'm not sure how to group pimp. Show me?

Lass: Welcome aboard. Don't throw up on the deck.

Postman: yes, I suspected that would be your answer.

Shelley: I love numerology! I used to do charts for anyone who asked.

Anne: You mean there's nonfiction in my fiction? :-)

sarahjayne smythe said...

Congrats on your followers. It's exciting, isn't it? :)

Christi Goddard said...

sarahjayne: It's exciting and baffling. I just didn't think I was this interesting. :-)

Unspoken said...

Cyber pimping? Tell me more :)

Mia Hayson said...

YAY, congrats :~D

A group hug would be swell pleeeeaase and then a blogfest because I think I'm addicted to them :S

DL Hammons said...

I'm good. Whatever you decide is fine by me. :)

Tahereh said...

woot woot!!! GO CHRISTI!!! (CONTEST TIME!!! :D :D)

(speaking of which -- you can still play!! i updated the criteria for you :D)

Christi Goddard said...

She Writes: Cyber pimping (which I typo'd pimpling, which is hilarious when I think about it) is just giving props to those that rock. Which means I'd have to mention 62 awesome people.

Mia: **GROUP HUG** And I've yet to participate in a blogfest.

DL: Okey dokey.

Tahereh: I saw the update, and I plan to. I've been working on my rhymie thingie.

Darn, I think I'm number 67. Maybe I should've waited a little longer. :)
