Helping writers become bestselling authors

Settings and Symbolism

June 22, 2016 by BECCA PUGLISI

Wow, you guys. What an amazing week!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in our big ROCK THE VAULT giveaway and to all those who shared the #myfavoritethesaurus pictures. I think we made thesauruses everywhere officially COOL. And also an enormous thank you to all the wonderful people who helped out with our launch, especially the Thesaurus Club (our street team). We are so blessed to have so many wonderful people support us. If you want to find some of these folks and their blogs, check them out here.

Vault_Day_FinalWhile we didn’t get to the 500 pictures shared that would unlock all prizes in the vault, we did see about 300 of them online, and so Angela and I, being the softies we are, unlocked most of the prizes. Winners have been drawn and are being notified. Once we have acceptance from these lovely people, Angela will post the list. 

And for those of you who happened to buy our new books this week, thank you for welcoming our youngest offspring into the world! We hope that you have many light bulb moments when it comes to description and maximizing your settings.

They grow up so fast. *sniff sniff*

While Rock the Vault was a blast, Angela and I would be lying if we said we weren’t looking forward to getting back to a more normal routine. And today, that means me posting at the unbelievably awesome Kristen Lamb’s blog.

If you’re not familiar with Kristen, rectify that posthaste by following her on every conceivable social media platform. She’s one of the most prolific and knowledgeable bloggers out there as well as being an expert on all things networking and branding. If you’ve got a few minutes, drop in and see how Symbolism and the Setting Make a Perfect Marriage.

Happy Writing!

    This was a wonderful way to share your expertise with other writers and meet new writers online. I can’t thank you enough, Becca, for being so generous to other writers. So happy that your book release went well. You deserve it. I’ve shared this online and connected with Kristen.

      It was truly our pleasure. We’re happy to be able to connect writers with the writing resources, coaches, and courses that will help propel them along their journeys. 🙂

    Glad your book release went well and that you can now get back to your regular routines. Not surprised you unlocked more than you had to. You are both so generous!
