Since there were only 10 entries, I used the old fashion method of strips of paper in a hat. Also, my assistant wanted to... assist, so I let him. Isn't he adorable? Who wouldn't let him help?

One last thing before you all go:
A friend of mine has always wanted to write, and this is the year she will start, for real. The only thing is that she doesn't know how. I gave her some advice and shared how I started. One day, I found out about NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. It was already November 6th, so I had missed almost a week, but I started anyway and went ahead and wrote my first novel. That was six years ago. After that came a lot of self-teaching, reading every book about the craft I could get my hands on, and, my favorite, writers' conferences.
Will you help me in giving her some advice? How did you start? What would you do differently if you could back in time?
See you next week!!!

Congratulations! I hope you enjoy the book.
My advice: I think reading really well-written books has been a big inspiration to me. Reading good story telling helps me understand how to apply the things I learn at conferences and in craft books.
Thanks! I'm so excited!! Good luck to your friend I wish I could help but I'm struggling as I write this down right now :/. And yes your assistant is so adorable!
Tell your friend about WIFYR. I am sold on all you get out of the morning workshops. Its like a mini-MFA but in a week's time.
