Win a Sketch of Your Own Character!

Every blog needs a wee inaugural contest, doesn't it?

Well, this one is simple. I'm going to give away 3 sketches of a character from your own story (you don't have to be published) or, if you prefer or don't write, a character from Magic Under Glass or even any other book!

You must be able to provide an adequate physical description of the character if you win.

I will choose three winners randomly, contact them for their choice of character, and mail them a sketch.

(Please note, I am a total slowpoke about mailing prizes, but they WILL be mailed, I promise.)

+1 entry for following me on Twitter
+1 entry for tweeting the contest or mentioning it on Facebook or blog
+1 entry for following this blog
+2 if you already follow this blog! (all 25 of you... )

You MUST MENTION YOUR ENTRIES in a comment or I won't track them, because I won't know which Twitter followers are due to the contest and which are coincidence, etc. The only exception is retweets back to me. I'll track those on Twitter.

International is fine! Contest closes May 7th!

Oh, and PLEASE DON'T ENTER IF YOUR CHARACTER IS A LIZARD PERSON! I can't draw that!!!
