About That Contest
The Chico Writers Group on Facebook
Back in November we announced a contest [Like Us and Win!]. While we had a notable increase in fans on Facebook, we didn’t come anywhere close to the targeted mark. And then on Facebook, we posted a question: should we try with another contest in 2011. Aside from one jubilant response, it was whisper quiet. Crickets chirped.
Perhaps everyone was too busy with the holidays and the aftershock of NaNoWriMo to be bothered. That’s the best we could come up with, surely it couldn’t have been the prizes!
So come February 2011 we’ll announce a different contest. But because we didn’t reach the goal of 1,000 fans, sadly that contest is over, there were no winners.
Perhaps we can have a writing contest where entrants must post to the fan page on Facebook. We’ll leave that idea out there and see what you have to say about that idea.
Until then, write on! And Happy Holidays, too.
Your friends at the Chico Writers Group.
