Can you believe Frog on a Dime is six months old already? Frog on a Dime exists to encourage writers, but you all encourage me too! To thank all of my visitors and faithful followers, Frog on a Dime is offering a special PRIZE DRAWING.
Here’s what you need to do: Hop on over to Frog on a Dime and leave a comment on today’s post. Please let me know what you like about Frog on a Dime, what you’d like to see more of (or less of) and/or how I can make my blog even more encouraging to you. (Sorry Facebook comments do not qualify. I love them, but they won’t count for this drawing.)
On Monday, June 3 at Noon, I will select a name at random from the folks who’ve commented . That lucky person will receive a surprise care package filled with young adult novel ARCs, cool office supplies AND an encouraging personal note from me.
What are you waiting for? Get hoppin’!
Oh! And there’s one more Frog on a Dime way to celebrate in June . . . be watching for an interview with one of my favorite debut YA authors! Can’t wait for you to meet her!

Welcome to Frog on a Dime 
I really like the concept of the yes file. I recently blogged about keeping an affirmations page, which is similar. We have to lift ourselves up.
I also liked your post about having a hobby. I think it’s an important aspect to the creative life that fuels our writing and art.
And the quote from Pippin about dreamers was so inspiring!

Some people refer to me as Miss Vicky, but that’s an old school reference to Tiny Tim’s girlfriend. You’d have to be a kid of the 60s to remember him!
