I got home from work the other night and there was a package for
me waiting outside my front door. I was like, “Cool, my new ThighMaster has
finally arrived!” And then I thought, “Wait, maybe it’s the Shake Weights.”
But, no, it was neither; it was a box of books. A box of MY books!
I know, I know; all I’ve been talking about lately is my stupid
book coming out. But consider yourselves warned; I am going to promote the hell
out of this thing until I’ve made enough off of royalties to afford a Fifty Shades of Grey penthouse in Seattle.
Guess what else I learned about the book yesterday? It’s being
prematurely ejaculated! Amazon changed its release date from September 1 to
August 15. So now I am kind of FREAKING OUT!
As I am sure is the case with many authors, I’m really kind of
uncomfortable with the idea of self-promotion, BUT those penthouses go for
between 4 to 6 million dollars, so here I go:
I was thinking to ease into the promotional activities. All you
have to do to win an Advanced Readers Copy of the illustrious Missed Periods and Other Grammar Scares
is “Like” me.
There’s a “Like” option at this Amazon link I would love you to
click.
If you want to win a copy, just let me know in the comments
section that you do, in fact, “Like” me and that I have a way to contact you to
get your address. Then, I will have a drawing next week. How does Wednesday
sound?
(Also, because this is such an emotional time for me, feel free
to also let me know HOW MUCH you like me, what exactly you like about me, if
you like my hair, etc. )

I "liked" your book on Amazon. I also like your writing voice, the fact that you don't correct my grammar mistakes (yet), and your intriguing blog post titles.
Congrats again on the book launch!
Smooches...
OK, I went to the Amazon page and licked you. Uh... wait. That should be "liked", I "LIKED" you.
I liked you, I REALLY liked you! (I like Sally Field, too.)
What do I like about you? Well, I like the way you inject humor into your English lessons. And your hair, of course! Of course I like your hair.
If I win a free book in the drawing, I will Email you with my Email address. Unless you already has it? (How's that for grammar? I NEED this book!)

I guess I had a case of that premature...ah, you know. I had already liked the book. :)
What I simply adore about you is how you continue to visit my blog and leave your little comments. I love that. You also crack me up with how you continue to catch my attention with creepy titles like this one. Too funny!
Talk to you soon.

I love your hair. I'm jealous of your hair. Mine is curly, and I only like if I straighten it. But you have thick, wavy hair like my sister.
I can't believe the book is coming out this fast! Usually books get put off--not released earlier. WoW! I can't wait to read it. If you want to be my blog earlier, let me know.
Hooray!!! Premature is better than too late. I've liked it and will write a happy review about it when it's time. Looking forward to it!
I would love a free book, in fact what else are you giving away? I love free stuff. So I "liked" the amazon page. And I like you as much as you like me. (Please like me a lot)
Of course I like you! And I liked you ... if that makes sense (I'm pretty sure it's grammatically correct though! :)
i don't just "like" you, i like you. premature ejaculation is never a good thing, whether real or as a literal concept, oh the tales us menfolk could tell. i rented a few THE HOBBIT penthouses down the street...for hairy feet...
My dearest Jen ....the fact that it comes out on my birthday is just fate , just bloody fantastic! I will be ordering my copy and can't wait to dive in. I'm so very proud of you!!! Xo

I LIKED your book! I really, really want to like you more. Do you have an author page? I gave you a tag, but you have to LIKE it :)
When my buddy Stephen T McCarthy likes someone then there must be a good reason. I like your wit and style, so I liked you on Amazon. I guess they just couldn't wait to get your book out there.

Yikes, it's brought forward? Ok, I need to start working on my post about your book to be able to put it up on time.
I have no qualms with promoting myself, nor my friends. Congrats!
I went to Amazon and done the deed.
Why do I like you?
I started out to be an english teacher (three years before switching majors to business) and switched because I was afraid I would not get a job.
You stuck with it, and have developed a way to teach the topic in an amusing way.
Pretty cool.
It's not so much that I like the hair, as I am jealous of it (having very little of my own).

I "liked" your book on Amazon. I like the name of your blog/book. I like your sense of humor. I like your hair - I don't have the patience to grow mine out that long (and mine looks better short).

Forget the drawing, I just ordered mine... as in, four seconds ago. THE GRAND HIGH MISSED PERIODS FAN CLUB HEREBY COMES TO ORDER. First order of business: all those in favor of electing the fabulous, glamorous, grammarous Jen as Empress Regnant of Universal Grammar issues, say aye. AYE! The ayes have it. SO PASSED.
(Also I did like you on Amazon!)
Jenny,
I'd like to win a copy. What do I like about you? That you're a language professor like me but that you are so much funnier than I am when it comes to grammar (though I do consider myself a ham in the classroom...and I don't even like ham).
In addition to hopefully winning a copy of your book, would it be inappropriate of me to steal your giveaway idea????
I'll wait for your permission...or banishing admonishment.
Liked it and will love it when I read it! I like your humor, your grammar lessons, your cute brown belt in your profile pic, and of course your grammar-mobile.
Congrats on having the release date moved up to Wednesday!
oh how exciting! Congratulations!! I liked.
Haha! The title made me laugh - love how you connected it to your book launch! off to hit 'like'.
How do I "Like" thee? Let me count the ways! I remember those "premature" days of yesteryear as if they were last week. Now I'm just immature.
Always remember and never forget that "Like" is a many splendored thing. It is better to have "Liked" and lost than never to have "Liked" at all.
I liked you on Amazon, but I had already ordered a copy! If I'm the lucky winner, I'll keep the ARC (a rare opp) and give my ordered copy as a gift. :)
Even your "Comments" page is funnier than the average blog. Not only did I "Like" you on Amazon, but I requested that it become available on my Kindle! People too cheap to buy your book any other way would spring for the e-version. I've been a big fan of your blog and know I will love the book, so please toss my name into the basket for a free copy. I hope Amazon sells out!
Oh, and you can find me at my blog, Conversion of a Blogaphobe, or email me at wordsbylinda@aol.com and I'll be happy to tell you where to send it!
Hi, Jenny,
Popping over from Ej's blog... You book sounds like a must for me. LOL.
Nice to meet you! I will be ordering my copy now. I just wanted to drop by and say hi.
