Bad Lime Breaks the Schedule

So … I’ve lost my mind [and internet] and somehow have signed on to do a few blog tours, but this shit has just gotten to be too much and … I’m out. I mean, I never really felt in with that … but now I’m declaring myself out out of it.

One thing I hope you’ve noticed about A Little Bit Tart, A Little Bit Sweet (which, incidentally, is the actual name of my blog – and I often refer to it as ALBTALBS) is that we only have original content. Original, and exclusive. I might have somehow morphed into more of a promo blog (and *cringe* there), but at least I have new shit.

I don’t have many rules, and often can’t even manage to follow my own posting schedule … but this is something that I feel strongly about. There’s a hard rule. You wouldn’t believe the number of people who seem to have trouble with those comments.

I know I’m preaching to the choir, and ranting at the wrong people … but anyway, what was supposed to go live on Tuesday … won’t be.

And as justification, I give you this. Courtesy of Merriam-Webster.

original:

1 archaic :  the source or cause from which something arises; specifically :  originator

2 a :  that from which a copy, reproduction, or translation is made

 b :  a work composed firsthand
3 a :  a person of fresh initiative or inventive capacityb :  a unique or eccentric person

and

exclusive:

1 a :  excluding or having power to exclude
b :  limiting or limited to possession, control, or use by a single individual or group
2 a :  excluding others from participation
b :  snobbishly aloof
3 a :  accepting or soliciting only a socially restricted patronage (as of the upper class)
b :  stylish, fashionable
c :  restricted in distribution, use, or appeal because of expense
4 a :  single, sole <exclusive jurisdiction>
b :  whole, undivided <his exclusive attention>

So yeah. If either (both) definition doesn’t fit … the post won’t go up at ALBTALBS. (Unless I don’t know about it – I can’t check everything – but if you ever see it, do let me know. Then we can watch me bring the wrath of God down on the offender.) 😀

Happy “Tuesday!”

Limecello’s Ridiculously Onerous and Excessively Laborious Giveaway (+ Winners)

Hi everyone! So, as you’ve gathered from the previous posts… I’m behind. So I’m kinda a liar I guess, but it’s winners to follow. But here’s a giveaway for y’all. I’ve noticed some seriously … I don’t even know ones on the internet lately. And being a brat, I’m going to poke fun at them. So here we go.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

I also have this thing about timing so… I wanted to make sure this post went up while it is still April. I’ll be posting the February winners – and emailing them. But March winners will only be posted. Here. (I expect) – so keep an eye out for this space. I’ll also be updating site information too.

Thanks all! ;D

Tell me – what is the most ridiculous (or even offensive) contest you’ve seen out there? Are you willing to jump through hoops? Did you know a number of author contests are illegal? Does that bother you?
