September Blog Hop!
Welcome to the September Blog Hop! Celebrate the beginning of fall with me and my blogger friends by hopping around, visiting our sites, and entering our contests! There are no limits – you can enter the contest on every blog. With over 40 blogs participating, that’s over 40 prizes you could win. Just click on the links below to move on to the next blog.
If this is your first time here, hi! I’m Jordan McCollum, an aspiring author. I blog about writing and craft around here. We just finished up a fun series on Clues in non-mysteries (aka how to foreshadow), and several of my older series are available as free PDF writing guides. On Wednesdays I (try) to do a Wednesday Writing link-up where you can share your latest, greatest posts on writing craft, writing life, publishing and all things related (but I slipped the last two weeks).
On my blog, you can win …
A $30 Amazon gift card!
Would you like to win this prize? You just need to do two things.
1. Become a follower of this blog. Check the sidebar: I have Networked Blogs/Facebook, and just last night I broke down and added Google Friend Connect. Just because I love you and want to make your life easy. See? You should follow me anyway 
.
2. Leave me a comment in the trail and tell me what you’d get with this prize.
That’s it! You are now entered. The contest ends on Saturday night, September 24th, at midnight MST, and the winner will be contacted shortly thereafter. Please either leave your e-mail address in the comment trail or make sure it’s visible through your profile so I can contact you to tell you that you’re the lucky winner.
Now go visit my other friends …

And there’s still more!
Don’t be disappointed if you didn’t win one of our fabulous prizes (I know it’s hard, but please try.) I have something for everyone.
Our blog series on deep POV has come to a close, but there’s always more to learn. I’ve assembled the posts from the blog series into a free PDF guide to deep POV—with bonus features not found in the blog series.
All our guides will be available on the new Free Writing Guides page.
