The Status Game

Seems like there's always a point in every trip where you veer off course for a bit. I'm still not sure quite what happened today, but last time I checked, my blogpost was not up on my host's site. I've been swapping emails with Anita and I know she's working on it. Please pop over to her site anyway and say hi anyway!

But the 50day/50blog Vexing the Viscount Tour rolls on and it's rolling on RIGHT HERE! I promised you a fun blog post, so here goes:

Today we’re going to play a game. I’m stealing it shamelessly from my friend Lori Philbin, but it’s just too much fun and I know she’ll forgive me. It’s called the STATUS MODULE GAME.

If you have a MySpace, Facebook, Twitter page, etc, you know the fun of mini-blogging, posting just 150 characters or so on your status bar. It’s random and odd and makes people wonder what you’re up to. Here’s how to play.

STATUS GAME RULES:
* Grab the book closest to you. NOW.
* Go to page 63.
* Find the last complete sentence.
* Write that sentence as YOUR status.
* COPY these instructions as a comment to your status. (Of course if you want to mention the Title of the Book and the Author, I'm sure they'll appreciate it!)
* Don't go looking for your favorite book, or the coolest one you have - just grab the closest one.


And as luck would have it, the closest book I have is VEXING THE VISCOUNT! At the bottom of page 63, Daisy Drake says:

“One wonders when they found time to conquer the world.”

Makes you wonder what came before, doesn’t it. When you post a comment today, post your best guess about what Daisy and Lucian are doing when she says this. Or share the last complete sentence on the bottom of page 63 of the book nearest you. As always, I’ll be giving away a copy of VEXING THE VISCOUNT to one random commenter so it doesn’t matter if you guess correctly or not. You’re still in the drawing if you comment.

And for extra fun, if you have a myspace, facebook, twitter, etc, it would really help me out if you would post “One wonders when they found time to conquer the world.” in your status module. Please let me know if you do. Thanks.

And the blog tour zips on! Thanks for joining me!

"One wonders when they found time to conquer the world."

That's a quote from my heroine Daisy Drake. Want to know what she's talking about? I'm playing the STATUS GAME today at www.anitabirtstoryteller.blogspot.com. Come on over and play with us. It's fun. It's free. And you just might win a copy of VEXING THE VISCOUNT!


3:04 PM-PLEASE NOTE: THERE SEEMS TO BE A DIFRUGALTY AT ANITA'S SITE TODAY. PLEASE CHECK BACK HERE AFTER 5 PM EST FOR AN UPDATE! ONE WAY OR ANOTHER THE BLOGTOUR WILL ROLL ON!

4:40 PM UPDATE-I just traded emails with Anita and she is having some computer gremlins today. Since I'm the anti-techno queen, I totally understand. Let's give her till 5:30 to tame the little beasties, but if she hasn't routed them by then, the tour will roll on right from HERE! Either way, I AM GOING TO GIVE AWAY A VEXING THE VISCOUNT TODAY!
