I Love my Followers Giveaway!


First things first: I am SO sorry.
 I wanted this summer to be a super productive summer during which I finished Unperfected and posted twice a week, every week. Clearly neither of these things have happened.
I haven't been very on top of things with this blog lately. Posting has become very scarce and inconsistent. I hardly posted at all in July, and this is my first post of August. Yikes.
Honestly,  I just haven't had the time to sit down and write anything. Between working, finishing up my summer semester, and helping my sister and her husband move, I just haven't had free time! My laptop has had a layer of dust on it for weeks, which is so weird. My laptop is my baby and usually never sits untouched long enough to collect dust!
And I promise you, I haven't forgotten about this blog. I've actually been very stressed about this blog.
I care about my followers (a lot) and I feel bad leaving you all hanging like this when you expect to get posts. I was really hoping to get my follower and page view count up this summer, too, but if I can't post, that won't happen.
Or so I thought.
The other day I decided to check on my stats for last month, expecting to see a huge plummet in page views. But I didn't. Instead, I saw that last month my blog had the most page views it has ever gotten! You guys are amazing!
Seriously--that was such an encouragement to see. I've been getting so many great comments about how so many of you like this blog and are inspired by me or my words, and I can't even tell you how amazing that is. Just when I feel like I'm failing, I get a ton of encouragement.
So, to thank all of you (and to apologize for the lack of posts), I decided it's about time I hosted a giveaway! From today until Friday, you guys are all welcome to enter for a chance to win a $20 eGift Card to Barnes & Noble. The gift card will be sent to you through e-mail, and can be used in stores or online.
You must be following this blog (subscribed by email) in order to participate because I will be sending the gift card to the e-mail you subscribed with! I will be camping all this weekend, so the winner will be announced next Tuesday.
Thank you again to all my amazing followers. I know I'm not a perfect blogger and I don't post as often as I should, but all of your uplifting comments are what push me to keep going. Thank you all! :)
