A Favor from my Friends…and compensation!
So, I’m rather mortified to be asking this.
A truly deep blush burns my cheeks as I type…BUT, we’re all friends here, right? You all are my buddies; I’m yours.
So ::cough, cough:: I’ll just say it:
I need a favor.
I can’t have my own Facebook Page until I have 25 people “like” it.
I have 23, which means if 2 of you kinds souls could go
here
and click “like”,
you would be helping me immensely.
Truly, I hate promoting myself like this. I hate FORCING you to do something you might not wanna do. It’s embarrassing; I’m ashamed. And if it weren’t for the stupid 25-people-rule, I wouldn’t be bothering you about it.
To say “thank you!”, I’ve made a pretty graphic you are more than welcome to use and share! If you want the code, here it is (it links back to me, but you’re absolutely welcome to adjust the link!) or you can just right-click and save the image.

So now, I shall sign off and go crawl under a rock.
You tell me: Do you have a Facebook Page? If so, tell me where it is and I’ll be SURE to return the “like” favor!

Darn! Wish you would have asked before I deleted my Facebook! 🙂 Oh well, just know if I still had it, I would totally “like” you, Sooz! 🙂
Susan

Haha, I was in the same boat last summer (deleted Facebook!). I only restarted it because I think it’s the main medium for reaching teen readers… ::shrug::
Thanks for the mental “like”!! 😉

Never ever feel embarrassed for self-promotion – isn’t that what being an awesome author’s all about? 😀 PS. Thanks for the amazing graphic!
Susan

You’re so very welcome, and THANK YOU, Caitlin!!
And…uh…I think some people find self-promotion a natural thing…but not me. I just wanna blush every time you sweethearts leaves me a comment because I’m sitll uber embarrassed.

Already a friend, but that graphic is adorable! 🙂
P.S. I started reading DECEPTION. It’s so. good. Don’t get me wrong, it’s kind of scaring the crap out of me (ghosts are like my biggest fear ever), but it’s so good I can’t put it down. It’s one of those books where I’m like, I’ll just read one more chapter before bed. Ok, one MORE chapter. I mean it this time, just one more chapter. And then I look at the clock and realize it’s 2 a.m. Great rec! Thanks!
Susan
March 11, 2011 @ 4:08 pm
Gah! I’m so GLAD you love DECEPTION! Yayayayay! 😀 (Um, isn’t Bennett kinda sexy? At first I was all like, “meh”, but THEN…by the end I was all like “YEAH”!)

You are well-liked. LOL
Susan
March 11, 2011 @ 4:09 pm
Hahaha. Am I REALLY well-liked or just well-Facebook-liked? Oh, the tough questions in life… 😉

I’ll do it as soon as I get home. Facebook is blocked at work here.
Susan

Ahhh, those sneaky offices and their facebook-blocking-softwares.
THANK YOU in advance, Ken. 😉

I’m late to this party, so good thing I already liked you, Sooz. 😛 And I LOOOOVE your graphics too. Your Twitter and Facebook icons are gorgeously matching, and I feel bad about snatching that graphic you just made. It’s too pretty.
Susan
March 13, 2011 @ 7:12 pm
Don’t feel bad about snatching my graphic–not when I’m OFFERING IT!! 😀

I “liked” your page, Susan! When I get a Facebook page, I’ll let you know. Mwahahahaha.
Actually, I love your blog so much, I’ve nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award. Just come to katrinadelallo.blogspot.com/2011/03/one-lovely-blog-award.html and collect your award. Thanks for inspiring me. And yes, I took your pretty picture. Thank you!

Hey there! Just wanted to say ‘hi’ as I also friended you on FB/followed you on Twitter and I didn’t want to come across as a complete stalker 🙂
I basically ‘discovered’ you through Sarah and LTWF, and I just wanted to say that I find your articles immensely helpful! Both the writer-y related ones and the ones about life in general; they really help me out a lot, so keep up the great work 🙂
Additionally, I have a new-found interest in Steam Punk and they’re not nearly enough good YA Steam Punk out there so I can’t wait for the Shadowhunters to come out!
P.S. I also used to live 10 minutes from Germany, so I can totally relate to that sour gourmet gummy bears addiction…mmmm….yummy….
Susan
March 15, 2011 @ 4:22 pm
Awww, thanks! That’s such a nice comment, Kelly!
I really appreciate you liking me on Facebook, and I also really appreciate you coming by my blog. That’s really flattering that you would stop by. 🙂 And I’m so glad you like my LTWF posts!
Also, you shouldn’t have mentioned gummy bears because now I have a craving…like a bad craving. 😉
