That may be my best post title yet for the whole SEO (Search Engine Optimizing) thing, but it’s real. From Susan Taylor Brown:

Only a little over a week left for teens 13–18 to get their entries in for the FreshBrain.org $1000 scholarship to create a book trailer for the middle grade verse novel, Hugging the Rock.

There are only a few entries so far and a nice chunk of money on the table so the chances of winning are looking good!

The deadline is December 15th and details are available at FreshBrain.

Please help spread the word!

Besides offering this contest, Susan is doing a wonderful job of introducing us to other great bloggers in her 31 Blogs series. Go see if you can meet someone new this December.

I wanted to write up reviews today, but instead my head is full of drama in the holiday plans, Girl Scouts, and — interestingly enough — Drama Club. I’m going to go quietly wash dishes, do laundry, and hope that the dust settles without me. A nap may also be in order.

And chocolate.

And I’m not ruling out wine either.
