Never Surrender Blogfest

During the second week of June--that's the 11-16--I'll be hosting the Never Surrender blogfest. This is something anyone, anywhere can participate in. Use the language and badge below for your blogfest entry.

All you have to do is blog about a time you didn't surrender. Trained for a marathon? Queried agents? Had to study for an entrance exam? I'm looking for inspirational stories that you have experienced. Hard things you've accomplished because you didn't give up. I want to be inspired by you!

Anyone who blogs this week for the theme can enter to win one of three $15 B&N gift cards. Everyone who blogs this week will receive a SURRENDER swag package.

Don’t blog? Put the cover of Surrender up on your FB wall, or pin it on Pinterest, or change your twitter avatar to the cover. Use the words “Never Surrender” somewhere to go with the picture, and link back to this post.

Sign up in this form to make sure you get the swag package. Elana will visit each blog to read your inspirational "never surrender" moments. Sign your blog up to participate in the Never Surrender blogfest linklist below.

Oh, so now I know what I signed up for on QQQE blog! And thank goodness I don't have to worry about it until the second week of June since I'm busy on my Camp Nanowrimo novel today.
Now all I have to do is try that Never Surrender bit. Normally, I'm willing to surrender to everyone, including 3 day old kittens. (Hey, they HISS at me!)

I've been following you since you were an agent back in 2008, so to see you come this far is absolutely AMAZEBALLS!

I am all signed up! When are we supposed to actually do the post? Just anytime between the 11th and 16th? or this week?

Cannot wait to read Surrender!!!

Found out about this over at QQQE and then realized you followed my blog (gulp, what an honor!) and I hadn't even come by! What a delight to discover what I was in for. I'm very, VERY excited about this.

This is SUCH a cool idea! I’ve probably seen it before, but I don’t remember it. Thanks, Elana, for doing it. My first ever blogfest to be a part of. And not only was I a part of it, but I also visited all of the other 70 blogs that were a part, and left over 50 comments… Puff, puff, puff. I’m feeling tired now! (But really, I like your idea, so much!)

Whew, that was the most personal post I've ever written - it took 2 hours of me sitting in front of the screen to finally write it out.

On the last day, I finally posted my story. Whew, now off to the real world of retail...
