Build Me A Blog-hop




I'm participating in this great blog hop from David Powers King, who's celebrating more than 800 followers on his awesome blog! He's partying by giving away the creation of a blog banner, image or avatar. All we have to do is provide a 200 word description.

Here we go:

Imagine a book. An ancient well-loved tome, with a worn leather cover, lying open on its spine, pages facing up, open for all to see. From the center crease of those pages, a warm glow of greenish purple-blue rises. The glow of imagination. And, in an arc from that center, all kinds of fantastic adventures await - icons of a ship, a dragon, a galaxy, maybe even a sword or wizard. Each one waiting to whisk you off to another world through writing or reading.

Okay, that's a bit of writerly flourish but I'd love to be able to work an image similar to this into my blog banner. I think it'd be a great fit for the blog's name, too. The idea that written words can take you anywhere.

Thanks a million to David and to the talented designers behind the prize!!

And if you missed the 12 Days of Querying yesterday, it's here.

    That sounds completely awesome! A banner like that would surely bring that sci fi/fantasy flare to your blog. Thanks for participating and best of luck! :)
