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!

Of course, I will 🙂
March 11, 2011 @ 10:01 am
Thanks so much, Kathy! 😀 Everyone’s being so nice about it, so I feel less like a desperate, self-promoting idiot!
March 11, 2011 @ 10:09 am
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! 🙂
March 11, 2011 @ 10:20 am
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”!! 😉
March 11, 2011 @ 10:13 am
Don’t be embarassed! I’ve liked too 🙂 … and btw, all of your graphics are GORGEOUS!
March 11, 2011 @ 10:21 am
Thanks, Laura! I’m so glad you like the images–I sure spent a LOOOONG time making them all.
And thank for you the like too! <3 <3 <3

Never ever feel embarrassed for self-promotion – isn’t that what being an awesome author’s all about? 😀 PS. Thanks for the amazing graphic!
March 11, 2011 @ 4:06 pm
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.
March 11, 2011 @ 1:10 pm
Gladly!!!
March 11, 2011 @ 4:07 pm
Thanks so much, Katharine!!
March 11, 2011 @ 2:00 pm
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!
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”!)
March 11, 2011 @ 2:06 pm
You are well-liked. LOL
March 11, 2011 @ 4:09 pm
Hahaha. Am I REALLY well-liked or just well-Facebook-liked? Oh, the tough questions in life… 😉
March 11, 2011 @ 2:33 pm
Not a favour at all! Glad to see you on FB 🙂
March 11, 2011 @ 4:09 pm
Many thanks, Cheyenne! 😀
March 11, 2011 @ 2:36 pm
I don’t have a facebook page for being an author. someday. I liked you and was happy too!
March 11, 2011 @ 4:10 pm
Let me know the instant you set it up, Laura, because I will definitely “like” it!! 😉
March 11, 2011 @ 2:47 pm
I’ll do it as soon as I get home. Facebook is blocked at work here.
March 11, 2011 @ 4:10 pm
Ahhh, those sneaky offices and their facebook-blocking-softwares.
THANK YOU in advance, Ken. 😉
March 11, 2011 @ 3:15 pm
Aww, Sooz, don’t be embarrassed! We all like you anyway. 🙂
March 11, 2011 @ 4:11 pm
::blushes:: Thanks, Holly! You’re gonna spoil me with your flattery.
March 11, 2011 @ 4:16 pm
Done!!!! More than happy to help.
🙂
March 11, 2011 @ 5:53 pm
Thanks!! 😀 I really appreciate it. Gosh, I look so popular on FB now. 😉
March 11, 2011 @ 5:46 pm
Oh, and I totally love your “thank you” graphic. I don’t know where I’ll put it, but I WILL use it 🙂
P.S.: I totally need to stop doing this double post thing on your blog. But I was the first comment! 😀
March 11, 2011 @ 5:54 pm
Double post away, chica! You make me look more popular. Like “ooooh, she has SO many comments! People must love her!” 😉
March 11, 2011 @ 6:50 pm
I think I was the 44th person to like you. 😀
March 12, 2011 @ 3:30 pm
Oh my GOSH! I feel so LOVED. You guys have pushed me waaaaaaaay over 25. Thanks, Sandy!!!
<3 <3 <3
March 12, 2011 @ 6:24 pm
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.
March 13, 2011 @ 7:12 pm
Don’t feel bad about snatching my graphic–not when I’m OFFERING IT!! 😀
March 13, 2011 @ 12:42 am
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!
March 13, 2011 @ 7:12 pm
AWW, thanks!! I’ll go check it out right now. 🙂
<3 <3
March 13, 2011 @ 8:00 am
Done! I recently set up an author page myself: http://www.facebook.com/AuthorCyndiTefft
March 13, 2011 @ 7:12 pm
And I have liked you back! Thanks so much, Cyndi!!
March 15, 2011 @ 4:14 pm
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….
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. 😉
