Don't Miss the Ian Sands Art Exhibits this December and January!

My good friend, local Triangle NC Children's Author/Illustrator Ian Sands has his Pop Expressionist art on display (and for sale for collectors too!!) all over the inside of the Wake Forest Coffee Company this December.

It’ll be there until the end of 2008. So if you haven’t gotten there yet, there are just two more days left for you! Location: Wake Forest Coffee Company, 156 South White Street, Wake Forest, NC. 27587.

But don't worry. If your next 2 days are too jam packed, there's another Raleigh Exhibition in January 2009!

Ian’s paint brush and pen see the world a little differently than the rest of us. And it's great! Here are a few more samples of his colorful, lively, and sometimes lifesize ART!

Take your family and friends and pop on by.

It all starts with a random piece of white paper...

The next Ian Sands Pop Expressionist exhibit is scheduled for January 2009 at Vintage 21, 117 S. West St, Raleigh, NC.

Go Ian, Go! So proud to know you.

Merry Christmas to All...

...and to all
a GOOD WRITE!







See you in January! Happy Holidays!

AND THE WINNER IS...

I've gotten a number of emails from folks AFTER our 40,000 WORD CONTEST closed, stating "Oh no, I missed it!"

Apparently December is a bad time for a contest with all of the Christmas business beginning!
Lesson learned. : ) I'll do our future contests in Spring, Fall or Summer.

But for the two of you who did get your names and info in on time I've put the names in a hat and pulled out a winner.

JOAN - WRITER'S BLOCK, YOU ARE THE WINNER!

I will be sending Chris Baty's tiny bedtime story book, and a borders gift certificate your way! Enjoy them this Christmas!

And thanks to all of you who got your names in on time -- and also to all those who emailed after the fact. Keep you eyes open for future contests here on Writermorphosis!

See you in a week for another post (on Mondays). - Janelle

LAST DAY TO ENTER the 40,000 WORD CONTEST!

Nano is over! Thousands of us wrote more in November than usual, as a result of it, including me. Hooray! I finished my 50, 000 yesteday afternoon in the nick of time.

But here at Writermorphosis we're celebrating EVERYONE who completed 40,000 WORDS OR MORE in November 2008, with a CONTEST!

Though 50,000 is the required amount to "win" Nano, 40,000 is enough for a novel too (at least if you're writing for Middle Graders).

So, whether you participated in Nano or not, if you wrote 40,000 words or more in November 2008:

POST YOUR NAME AND YOUR WORD COUNT HERE -- TOMORROW, DECEMBER 2nd!

I'll draw a name out of the hat and will mail the winner a copy of Chris Baty's little book of "bedtime stories for wrimos," and another writerly surprise gift! Check back on 12/5/05 to see if you won!

CONGRATS TO ALL WHO WORKED SO HARD DURING NANOWRIMO!
