I couldn't think of a post today. What do I do when I have blog writer's block?Give some stuff away, that's what.
I have two things to celebrate (oops, I almost spelled that "celebart" which sounds like something I don't want to eat, smell or purchase anytime soon):
Reaching 1000 Followers and selling my book. Time to share the happiness!
What's up for grabs?
1. $20 Gift Card to a bookstore of your choice.2. $15 Gift Card to a bookstore of your choice.
3. Lauren DeStefano's Wither
4. Jennifer Donnelly's Revolution
5. Jackson Pearce's Sisters Red
6. Franny Billingsly's Chime
7. Jandy Nelson's The Sky is Everywhere
8. Query critique or first five pages critique--as gentle or ruthless as you'd like.
The contest rules:
1. Leave a comment on my blog with your email addy
2. Let me know if there's something in particular you want to win, or not win
3. Extra points for blogging>FB/Google+ >sidebar>tweeting. Let me know what you're doing, and I'll throw lots of extra points in. I'll even do the math for you.
Contest ends on Tuesday November 8th at 6PM. Winners will be announced Wednesday November 9th.
Spread the word like it's the most contagious rash you never want to get.
Because I want to give some stuff away!

Okay--also, don't forget to check out Laura Diamond's Sisterhood post on "Are you NaNoing? Why or why not?" Next week, I'm up!

I can't think of a better solution for writer's block.
The gift cards would super--especially this time of year.
I've read all those books! So I'll go for the gift card! Congrats Lydia! :)

Yay! Congrats on reaching 1000, and again on your deal! So exciting!
I agree with Slamdunk, the gift cards would super. Of course, I won recently, so maybe I should recuse myself.
Love the post title and love the giveaway too. You are a sweetie! (And I'm not just saying that to win stuff.)
bossybetty1@gmail.com
Eeeep!!!! I love giveaways. And you've certainly got a LOT to celebrate...I hope you're still celebrating yourself. ;)
Oooh, I'd love one of those books--I saw the pic and started salivating, LOL!
I'm gonna tweet and facebook NOW.
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big congrats on both again!! Such great news.
Loved Jennifer Donnelly's A Northern Light. (hint hint)
luannegsmith (at) yahoo (dot) com
I shall issue forth a tweet!
I'm so, so excited for you. Congrats! I'll be sure to spread that rash on my blog tomorrow. :-)
Hmm...I'd really love Chime or Sisters Red. I'm such a sucker for cover art.

Hi, Lydia. Just hi.
I'm tweeting. Congrats! You know my email I think.
Wow Lydia, you are generous! I've got a book giveaway soon too.
I have put this in my blog post and about to tweet. Would love any of those, thank you! And congrats again!
Oops email: catherine_mrsj[at]hotmail.com
Woohoo! Congrats again!!!
While I'd love a crit from you at some point, I have nothing to give you. So that's the only one of your generous prizes I'd have to refuse should I be so lucky to be in that position. :)
THANK YOU!!!

And I'll get a sidebar thingy up for this too later today.
Well, it would be silly not to join in here. Gift cards would be my first choice. There are several books already on my "buy when I have the money" list.
I shared you on my FB.
lin[at]ldmasterson[dot]com
You are so awesome! Thanks for sharing your good news!
The only 2 books there I haven't read are Wither and Chime, so I'd be thrilled to win one of those, or a gift card.
The only book I've read in the list is Wither (which was very good). And I don't have any ready for critiquing.
Anything else would be great. BTW, I tweeted.

Hi. I stopped by after seeing a note on Catherine Johnson's blog... Love prizes. The last time I asked for a specific one ... I asked for the wrong thing, so if I'm picked I'll take anything.
LOL, now that's a great thing to do when you get blogger's writer's block. You are awesome. I'd love to win any of 1-6. I'll be tweeting about this!

How very generous and nice of you! I haven't read Sisters Red, but I keep meaning to. And I'll tweet about your generosity.
How wonderfully generous of you!! I'd love to win a gift card to Amazon, or else CHIME or WITHER--they've been on my TBR list for a long time. Even THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE. All good stuff! Thanks, Lydia!! email: artzicarol [at] gmail [dot] com, but you know that. ;o)
I've also tweeted and FB'd this giveaway!!
Haha, what an awesome idea! I'd love to win REVOLUTION--that book was amazing! I'll blog about your contest on Friday, if that works for you. Thanks, Lydia!
Ooooh, I would love to win any of those prizes...as long as the critique could be redeemed at a later time or for a short story, anyway, since I don't have a novel in querying shape yet. My email is writingonalimb [at] gmail.
Congrats again and thanks for this great giveaway!
I posted on my FB fan page and tweeted: http://twitter.com/#!/NicoleZoltack/status/131822008194437121

I'm stuck between a query critique, WITHER, or a gift card. :) I'll let you pick. :)
Congrats on selling your book!! And 1000+ followers - that's awesome! :)
What a wonderfully generous giveaway. I'd be happy to win any one of the prizes. And I've added this to my side bar. Thank you!

If writer's block makes you do such awesome things, it should happen more often. Haha. Just kidding. You are awesome. And very very generous.
I'd love to win one of the giftcards because I already own most of the books mentioned :)
I put up a link on my sidebar.

Congratulations on reaching 1,000 followers and once again on selling your manuscript!
Fun stuff. And good reasons to celebrate! Congrats, btw,on all of them. Of course I'm in, and although all the prizes sound delightful, I'd lean toward one of the gift cards. There are a few books I've been wanting to get...:)
Thanks so much, and again, a big congrats to you!
Just posted this on Facebook. :)
Oh my gosh, so many things to celebrate! Congratulations on absolutely everything!!

Congratulations on your book!
Wow, I love it when you get writer's block, Lydia. :D
I'd love to win the ruthless crit or Wither (if that part is open to Canada) or gift card.
Congrats on the 1000 + followers and the book deal. Both awesome reasons to celebrate. :D
I'm off now to tweet about this.
Hurray, Lydia!!
Thanks for a great contest!
I'm up for any of the great prizes!
Celebrate good times, come on!
Oh my God! How generous of you! Congratulations again on your upcoming book, The Fountain! I can't wait to get a copy! Lots of hugs! ♡
How the heck have I missed that you sold your book?!?! WOW! That's so fantastic, Lydia - I'm thrilled for you! And what a great giveaway.
Hey girl! Still so stoked for you! I've tweeted, Facebooked, & put ya' in my sidebar!
Dude, YOU SOLD?! (How did I miss this? Well, okay, I know HOW, I've been sequestered in my writing cave, that's how, but I digress.) YAY!!! YAY! YAAAYYYY!!!! :D

I'm off to put this on my contest sidebar and tweet it, tweetie pie. I'll try and do a blog post soon, too. (but I'm in the throes of Nano...so we shall see.)

Congrats on both counts, Lydia!
They're all fabulous prizes and I would love to have any of them. My first choice would probably be a super-ruthless query critique, though.
My email is susanfieldswriter(at)gmail(dot)com.
Congratulations, Lydia.
Going to tweet this.
If I win, I'd kinda like Jandy Nelson's book. (But all prizes are sweet and lovely!)
Thanks you for doing this.
Congratulations on your book news!
You're so funny. I suppose I'll be bouncing around like this--celebarting--for a while after I get my book deal, too. (See how I'm very "will happen" there?)
As for what I'd like, ooo, I've been dying to read "The Sky is Everywhere," please!
And yay! On with the celebartion! :D
I am so happy that you are so happy! I tweeted and Google+'d (hey did I just turn that into a verb?)
The only one I've read there is Sisters Red, but other than that, I'd love to win anything!
You rock, and cograts!
Angela @ The Bookshelf Muse
I tweeted you too!
Eml: AmandaM202@gmail.com
Congrats on selling you book! I retweeted. Would be down for a ruthless query critique ;)
What awesome choices -- befitting your awesome book deal. ;) Congratulations again, Lydia! I'd love to win one (or both :P) gift cards, or Chime, or the critique.
Congratulations, again!

PS: Will you ship the books internationally?
This is such a great NaNo diversion, Lydia. Thanks for the giveaway today.
I tweeted (@narrawriter) and posted your giveaway at www.susanoloier.blogspot.com
I'd love one of the gift cards or The Sky Is Everywhere.
email: hatfield98us(at)yahoo(dot)com
Wonderful giveaway, Lydia. I'm sharing this on FB and Google+. If I have a choice, I'd love to win one of the giftcards. I've read (and enjoyed) a few of those books already!

Ooh! Great contest, Lydia! I will tweet it (I'm @lchardesty). Also, Sunday is my birthday, so I totally get extra points for that, right?
Right?!
*sigh* :P
I don't want Wither & Thanks a bunch!

I'd love to win a gift card. Because I live in Australia the cost of sending a book would be too much to ask.

Wow, bloggers are generous. I would love any of them--the books to read and then share with my classroom kiddos, or the critique to get over the hurdle of--eep--sharing my writing for the first time!
silversteinela at gmail, or through my linked google account. And I will be putting this on my blog so that hopefully my students will come this way as well!
I'm jonesing for that Wither novel so here I am and I am tweeting and FBing. Congrats again!
Congrats on all the happiness! I already have Wither and Sisters Red, but I'd love any of the others, or the crit or the gift cards. Thanks!
Cool contest! I love how something great happens to YOU, and YOU'RE the one giving stuff away to celebrate! :)
You sure are in a generous mood, Lydia. I love this giveaway. Congrats on your happy news. Thrilled for you.
I love a good contest. My e-mail is prernapickett@yahoo.com. All the prizes sound awesome, but a critique would be nice.
Cool. First time visitor, first time follower! 1000 followers is a huge achievement. Adding a book sale only adds frosting to the cake.
Glad you posted this @ WS4U! Count me in! The only one I've read so far is The Sky is Everywhere (LOVED IT), so I'll take anything else if I win! I'll tweet right now (@ericaandchristy).
THANKS SO MUCH!!! christy
