Writing the Cyber Highway Community is the best. You're always cheering me on, encouraging me, making me laugh, and brightening my cyber days. I feel the warmth, genuine friendship, and connection across the globe each time I read a comment and respond. It fills my heart with joy to know my readers truly care about this blog, my writing successes/failures, and me. I ask you, with a sincere heart, to go one step further....
I'm still in the lead for WRA's New Design Launch Contest but that could change quickly as the competition is fierce and the other contestants are quickly catching up. Do a good deed on the cyber highway and help me build my writer's reference library by voting for me.
Not only will you be doing a good deed, my budget for books to help me improve my writing skills will go from $0 to $100 should I win the first place Amazon Gift Certificate! This will be a great blessing to me and I would appreciate it so much!
These books will be a godsend as I try to grow in the writing business and write the cyber highway. I'm dreaming big and aspiring to make my way to the writing success stars. Help me reach them....
THANKS!
(I'd do the same for you!)
UPDATE: I WON FIRST PLACE!
Thank you SO much for all of your votes, encouragement, support, and kindness. I appreciate it! I'll shop wisely with my prize: a $100 Amazon Gift Certificate. And, I'll review each book highlighting my favorite parts as well as share the knowledge I gain in future posts.
Be sure to drop by Writing FORWARD. Melissa Donovan is running an awesome contest!

Cyber Contest: Win Prizes from Amazon!
Prizes, anyone? Rebecca Laffar-Smith has kicked off a contest to launch the new design of her blog: Writer's Round- About.
Oh, but don't think you can just do a cyber drive by and drop a comment. No, Rebecca is going to make you work for what you get!
She expects each person to follow the rules to a T. If you think you stand a chance at winning, you'll have to create an outstanding entry before she'll even consider handing over one of the three Amazon Gift Certificates: $100 goes to 1st Place, $50 to 2nd, and $25 to 3rd.
Writer's Round-About Review
For quite a while now, I've frequented Rebecca's blog. I've followed her Stargate Writing Series, and have watched her heart, soul, and words flourish until it's brought me to tears. I'm telling you, if you haven't already, you absolutely must subscribe to Writer's Round-About's RSS Feed!
Not only is Rebecca a freelance writer, editor, fantasy novelist, and blogger, she also has quite the keen eye for web design and choosing complimentary colors.
Writer's Round About's new design is very easy on the eye and to me, organized. I, personally, enjoyed her beautiful and cheerful photo she originally had located in the header, but then I'm not a web designer.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the new look and enjoy absorbing this writer's knowledge each time I visit. I simply cannot complain about such a marvelous site!
Well, I guess I could share just one gripe: I'd LOVE to be able to preview my comment before hitting submit!
