Grand Prize winners get their choice of these!<\/p><\/div>\n

I think you\u2019re going to like Nice and Mean<\/em>.\u00a0 I mean, of course I do; I wrote it–but still.\u00a0 There\u2019s\u00a0the heartache of a friend thinking you\u2019re not cool enough for her.\u00a0 The headache of a friend thinking she\u2019s cooler than she is.\u00a0 The stomach ache of having to work on a cool project (video!\u00a0 hello!) with someone who just does not get you and the soul ache (okay, that\u2019s kind of cheesy, but bear with me) of screwing everything up and being abandoned \u2014and trying to put things back together.\u00a0 I hope you\u2019ll sign on to read it and can\u2019t wait to chat with you about it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u00a0For now, though, I want to know, from your votes in the poll to the left,\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who are your favorite nice and mean characters?<\/span> \u00a0<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll hear mine on Wednesday at The Page Flipper<\/a>, but I have a feeling yours will make me go, \u201cYeah!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

And that leads us to the contest.\u00a0 How do you earn points to win?\u00a0 By commenting, here there and everywhere, about all things Nice and Mean.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earn points when you do the following:<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0–Comment on the blog tour<\/strong> (hosts listed here<\/a>; one point earned for each comment)\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0–S<\/strong>pread the word about the blog tour on Twitter, FB or your own<\/strong> blog<\/strong> (one point for each nugget of word-spreading)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0-Vote in the polls (over there, to the left!) for your favorite nice and mean characters, then explain your choice in the comments<\/strong> (one point for each comment, and multiple comments are a-okay)\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Battle of Wits: <\/em>If you nominate the character who is voted Nicest Character or Meanest Character, you win the swag in the top photo!\u00a0 How do you do this?<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

-Email me (jess@jessicaleader.com<\/a>) to include a new character in either poll (Some of the ones you see were my suggestions to get you started.)\u00a0 The earlier you enter, the more likely people will vote for your guy or gal. Get on it!\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t earn a point, but you\u2019ll earn if you\u2026\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

–Comment on this blog <\/strong>to explain why your character(s) should win\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Tweet or post on Facebook about the contest and your supreme entry, (#nice&meanwits#).\u00a0 Go, team You!\u00a0 You\u2019ll accumulate points as you try to persuade people, so in theory, you could become the Grand Prize winner, too.\u00a0 I wonder what I would do then?\u00a0 Maybe…two copies of Nice and Mean<\/em>–one to keep, one to share?<\/p>\n

**\u00a0-S<\/strong>top by this blog by Saturday, June 12th<\/sup> to report your points<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait to hear who you nominate!\u00a0 And hey–thanks for stopping by.\u00a0 So Nice of you! \u00a0 I Mean it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
