I've been bursting with this news since mid-week, and now I'm officially allowed to share:
The Debutante Ball has chosen ME to be one of five debut authors to contribute each week to their fabulous blog for the 2011 season.
Here's a link to the official announcement.
This will be the fifth season for this terrific blog, and I'm crazy-excited to be grouped with such amazing, talented debut authors for an entire freakin' year!
Guess what else today is? It's August 1, which marks exactly six months since I started Don't Pet Me, I'm Writing.
To celebrate both milestones, I'm devoting this entire week to blogging about...well, blogging. Check back each day this week for lessons learned, tips worth sharing, and pictures of Pythagoras in his underwear.
Um, OK. One of those might not be true. But you should still check back to see which one it is.
Thanks so much for reading, guys, and for making my first six months so wonderful!

Excellent news, Tawna. Congratulations! Another exciting blog to distract--er--delight me. That and the anticipation of seeing Pythagoras in his briefs. :)
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Deb
Congrats! You deserve it. You are hilarious and so much fun to read!
ReplyDeleteGreatness! Way to go! Booyah!
ReplyDeleteThat's so great. Will have to check out that blog now.
ReplyDeleteLove to see success!
So have you dyed Pythagoras dingy tighty whities purple, also? That would be worth seeing.
Nice! So exciting! Looking forward to your posts this week, Tawna!
ReplyDeleteAw. Congrats! And happy blog birthday! :)

The picture of the wetsuit will work juuuuust fine!
ReplyDeleteCongrats again!
ReplyDeleteAnd it would be totally not nice to dangle Pythagoras in his underwear in front of us, and then not follow through. I'm just sayin'...
Your credibility as a blogger could depend on it!! *blink*
Woo hoo! Great news! When does the tiara arrive?
ReplyDeleteI'll put a candle in the slab of chocolate cake waiting for me in honor of the blog's birthday
Congrats! That's wonderful news.

Congrats!! With all the hard work you put in it's a well deserved congratulations.
ReplyDeleteTawna, that is terrific! I'm sure you're going to love this year.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Well deserved! And ummm, I agree with Linda about the Pythagoras tease. The wet suit picture was bad enough...
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful news and I promise to read your posts either here or on the other blog.
I personally can't wait for your first novel to come out. This is going to be long year waiting.
Congratulations! And well deserved. You always have the best posts. :)
ReplyDeleteNice job Tawna.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Tawna. I can't think of a more deserving Deb. Oh, and who wouldn't want more pictures of Pythagoras in his skivvies.
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome! And very well deserved. I love to see people I love succeed! :) You go, girl!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks everybody for the kind thoughts and the pats on the back! I've known about it since earlier this past week, but haven't been allowed to tell anyone except my agent, editor, and husband (they promptly joined hands and sang "We Are the Champions" in three-part harmony).
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to this week's blogiversary celebration. If there's anything in particular you want me to talk about, shoot me an email at tawnafenske at yahoo dot com.
Thanks so much for all your support and enthusiasm. I'm getting a little choked up reading the comments :)
Tawna
Congrats! I look forward to the blog posts about blogging!
ReplyDeleteI'll chime in with my congrats to you too! What a fun blog to be part of...they were wise with their choice of you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! That's so exciting! It seems weird to tell you I'm looking forward to possibly seeing your husband in his underpants, so I'm kind of hoping that's the one that's not true. Which seems weird in a different way.
