Trying something new: the Platform-Building Campaign

I am greedy. I want more friends. I had roughly the same number of friends in high school as I had in college. I think it was 5. Perhaps 7 right before exams when people wanted my notes.

I got this idea from Alison (who is my awesome CP and whose blog you should read. Do it.) I'm gonna sign up for this: http://rachaelharrie.blogspot.com/2012/02/fourth-writers-platform-building_06.html



I like YA writers. I like fantasy writers. And I have ulterior motives. I want you all to be my friends, so that I can have more than 5 friends (since there are no exam periods (I hope.))

  1. Your two friend jump made me laugh. I've definitely been there. There was actually a time in my life where I tried very hard to appear stupid so that people would stop borrowing my notes and asking me to help them with their work.

    1. In high school I had two guys who would always come over the night before a history test. It ended up being fun, because we could usually convince my dad to quiz us after we'd studied, and my dad always made good snacks.

  3. I always had more friends before exams, too. And in Spanish class. All the jocks wanted to be my best friend in Spanish class...
