A Writer Without Censor–And now the end is near/Contest!

Published by Dakota at 11:20 pm under Uncategorized

and so I face my final curtain… LOL

So–this is IT, folks! SIUP has been turned in and the time has come to celebrate! Believe me, I need all the help I can get, because I can ASSURE you, no one’s celebrating me turning in a book. LOLLOL.

Anyhoodles, I’m havin’ a contest to celebrate the finish of SIUP, and here’s what ya gotta do–ya gotta watch the vlog.

I know. You thought you’d skim right through this shit and walk away scott-free, didn’t ya? HAH! No, I’m kidding. You can skim. Really…

So the contest–the rules are simple, and I’ve laid them out on the vlog, but here they are in print in case you doubted my validity because I AM sick, and I have been taking Nyquil :)

This is what ya gotta do to enter a random drawing–watch the vlog.

Post a comment here–just a hello or you blow–whatevs. Snort.

Send me an email to Dakota@Dakotacassidy.com that includes a subject header CONTEST (you know, so I don’t lose it), and within the body of the email, you have to NAME THE TITLE OF THE SONG I PLAY EACH TIME I FINISH AN MS. You’ll hear parts of the song in the vlog–you gotta guess what song it is :)

That’s it! This will automatically enter you in a random drawing to win a 20$ gift cert for Amazon and an e-ARC of Accidentally Demonic. Winner will be chosen midnight CST November 6, 2009. Check back here on the vlog to see if you’ve won. If you don’t contact me, I can’t send you yer stuff and I have to pick another winner. So be sure to check.

And thanks, everyone, for making this so much fun! Seriously, there was nothing like exposing myself to you all in my nightie and no makeup. LOLLOL

You guys rawk!

And now, without further ado–

Dakota :)

    Sweetie,

    Even though I am under deadline, I listened to your whole vlog (You are so cute when you are on Nyquil and lip-synching to ND). I WANT THAT E-ARC! You know I do!

    Debi

    P.S. Wait until RT…we got a surprise for you, hehehe!

  3. # Dakotaon 03 Nov 2009 at 12:32 am

  6. # Bellaon 03 Nov 2009 at 12:45 am

    Dakota, you are cracking me up with that song — which will now reside in my head for at least the next 24 yours, TYVM!

    :bigkiss:

    OK, hope you are feeling better! :sick:

    Though I gotta say, you are awfully fun on the Nyquil and Pepsi! :luvu:

    Ciao,
    ~bella

  8. # MarnieColetteon 03 Nov 2009 at 1:03 am

    Wow — I know that song. Nyquil and Pepsi (more of a coke zero girl myself)… great combo. Nyquil kicks my arse. I hope you feel better. Love the Accidental books — I will have a word with Berkley about letting you publish until until the next millenia.

    Hi Dakota~

    Great song and I knew as soon as it started playing who the singer was, but I had to think for a minute about the title (obviously I am not one of the 20 year olds who might not know the artist). I will email you in a minute with what I hope is the correct answer.

    I hope that you get feeling better very very soon!

  11. # Beverly Gon 03 Nov 2009 at 1:29 am

  13. # Barbara R.on 03 Nov 2009 at 1:38 am

    Dakota,

    I just got your email, to come over to your vlog. I listened to it. Even when you are sick you are funny. Amazing you could even talk. That is talent. The Nyquil and Pepsi combo must be working.

    The song…..good one…..I will send an email asap. Great Contest.

    Get some rest and I hope that you feel better soon.

  14. # Saranna DeWyldeon 03 Nov 2009 at 1:44 am

    Could you be any cuter? I bet you’re a blast at slumber parties, but if you go to sleep first, I *will* freeze your bra. Or put a cheeto up your nose.

    (C’mon, you know you were that girl who waited for everyone else to go sleep so you could stack empty beer cans on their foreheads.)

  15. # Rachel from Bitten by Bookson 03 Nov 2009 at 1:45 am

    DAKOTA! Go to bed and rest!! :luvu:

    MY gods was that Neil Diamond? LOL

    Just wanted to wish you well and soon!

    HUGS

  16. # Dakotaon 03 Nov 2009 at 1:50 am

    Pat? Thank you, darling. And should u venture into the deep, dark waters of Dakota–bring a life raft. A BIG ONE. LOLLOL. Thanks!

    Rachel–no bed. Bed’s for sissies and well, sissies :) Thanks, doll!

    Saranna–why the hell didn’t I think of your pen name first? And are u kidding me? I could be so much cuter–with a cheetoh up my nose :)

    DC:)

  17. # Shannon Bon 03 Nov 2009 at 1:58 am

    Hey Dakota!! Love that song! :bg: Hope you’re feeling better and go easy on that nyquil LOL!

  18. # Saranna DeWyldeon 03 Nov 2009 at 2:17 am

    I chose Saranna when I was 12. The spouse creature thinks it sounds like a porn star name, but I’m okay with that.

    (Or did you mean the retarded part? *snicker* )

  19. # Cindion 03 Nov 2009 at 2:19 am

    I hope you are feeling much better! Your contest is fabulous.
    For having a cold and being under the influence of Pepsi and
    Nyquil, you were very lucid. Take care…..Cindi :sick: :bg:

  20. # Maggi Gentleon 03 Nov 2009 at 3:01 am

  22. # Michelle B.on 03 Nov 2009 at 4:26 am

    :sick: Hope you are feeling better Dakota…I totally understand how loopy & air-headed Nyquil can make you (especially if you take it on an empty stomach…not a good idea, LOL!!!) Take your vitamin C & some echinacea to boost your immune system & help you get better quicker. Hope you have a better November than how it is starting out for you so far.
    :luvu:

  23. # Mardelon 03 Nov 2009 at 4:29 am

    Okay! now I really want to read your “accidental” books. You’re funny! (or was it the Nyquil? LOL).

  61. # Michelle Breauxon 03 Nov 2009 at 10:35 pm

    Congrats on finishing the MS, DC! As for the song…it was much easier for me to identify the artist than the song title! I finally got it thanks to Google. What would we do without Google?

  62. # Natashaon 03 Nov 2009 at 10:56 pm

    I told you, web war..so I came to hear you sniffle and then insult my musical intelligence by saying someone in their 20’s wouldn’t know who that was. Geeze Dakota :p

    But all kidding aside, Congrats on finishing the MS and go get a neti pot already! xoxo

  63. # Angelaon 03 Nov 2009 at 10:59 pm

Drives my family to tears sometimes and I hear the refrain “Mom can you turn that C#$P off it’s driving us crazy……. Going now to send the email to u.

  68. # Amandaon 04 Nov 2009 at 1:07 pm

  70. # Moonsanityon 04 Nov 2009 at 6:25 pm

    I emailed you my answer– yeppers, I sure did. By the way, did Mark Henry talk you into vlogging when you had a cold? :sick: Just wondering.

    I hope you feel better! Though the cold makes your voice sound with sexy or like you’ve smoked for 80 years. Just saying…

  71. # dakota cassidyon 04 Nov 2009 at 6:29 pm

    you clearly haven’t listened to my other vlogs, Moonsanity. LOL. I sound like that all the time. This vlog was just more nasally.

    And no, Mark had nothing to do with this. I’ve been doing it fo awhile and last vlog I promised a contest–it just happened to fall on a day where I have the flu. LOL

    Thanks for stopping by!

    DC :)

  72. # Moonsanityon 04 Nov 2009 at 6:38 pm

    Well, now I’m all red-faced and want to say nice things. Could I offer you a cup of hot tea, coffee, hot chocolate with Irish Cream in it? :coffee:

  73. # dakota cassidyon 04 Nov 2009 at 6:41 pm

    Oh, don’t be a silly. No need to be red-faced. Well, unless it’s in your color wheel. LOL

    Hello the divine Ms D.C. Thanks for another great V-log. It was an entertaining and enjoyable ten minutes as always. Keep em coming!

    Now I’m a BIG fan of all your books, but especially the Accidental series. So much, in fact, that I have bought two of each book. One copy for me, and another copy for my daughter. You’re making me broke here girl! So enter me in the contest to win an ARC for Accidentally Demonic. I can’t wait to read it and I sure hope I don’t have to wait until Feb. Argh!

    Feel better soon!!!

  81. # Robert Dixon 06 Nov 2009 at 11:18 pm

    Dakota - great to see/hear you again - you’re adorable when you’re sick (and when you’re not!) You should be pampered - what’s the use of having mom live with you if not to take care of you? (When she’s not screaming at your dad). Congrats on finishing the book & good luck with this next one. Keep the vlogs coming - we need our crack fixes!!

    (And what was that cat sound?)

  82. # Pamkon 07 Nov 2009 at 12:40 am
