I'm back from Kindling Words, which was truly inspiring. I got there late on Thursday (thanks to a bad accident just outside DC, it took over 11 hours for me to get there), mingled briefly (and with extreme zombie-like qualities--I was *exhausted*) and then promptly crashed.

On Friday, I attended a presentation and a couple of talks (and got good news about my dad, who was waiting for the results of some medical tests) and by late Friday afternoon, I felt ready to take on anything!

So I tackled a project that I've needed to work on for some time, and then promptly got sucked into it. I made a lot of headway (or at least I hope I have!) and though I ended up basically waking up Sunday morning going "Wait, where did Saturday go?" (before driving home--only 10 hours! yay!) it was totally worth it, and I'm so grateful I got a chance to attend the retreat.

And now on to other things, like this week's contest! This week, I'd like to know:

What's the one song you can't live without right now?

You can tell me by commenting here, or by sending me an email (elizabeth at elizabethwrites dot com) Replies must be in by midnight EST on Friday, February 2nd, and then I'll draw four names at random and send each of those four people a book! Though you can only reply once, you can reply no matter where you live (I will ship books overseas), or if you've won something from me in the past.

Books I'll be giving away are: Tattoo by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Secrets of My Hollywood Life by Jen Calonita, Just Listen by Sarah Dessen, and Confessions of a Not It Girl by Melissa Kantor

And congrats to last week's winners: Lisa, Sawyer, Liz, and Caitlin!
