Escaping the Blogosphere Wrap-Up Post Party!!! And WINNERS ANNOUNCED!
YOU HAVE DONE IT, HUNTERS!! YOU HAVE ESCAPED THE BLOGOSPHERE!!!!!!!!!!! That’s your doorway out! *throws out party streamers* Well, how does it feel to be back? I hoped all of you enjoyed this!! I know I had a huge blast!!! I guess all will now return to peace in the blogosphere once more!!! CONGRATULATIONS to all of you who made it out!!!!!! *applauding*
Look all the Hobbits are celebrating too!!! *jumps around and passes chocolate and snacks* I have a few pretty crazy adventures while I was trapped in the blogosphere and there were a few times I didn’t know if I’d make it out but WE’RE ALL HERE!!!!!! WE MADE IT!!! *pumps fist in the air* Sooooo I guess it’s time for some epic giveaways!!!!! Also, because all of y’all were just AH-MAY-ZHING out there I’ve added more to the prizes. Like we’re gonna have TWO grand prize winners instead of just one! Also, PLEASE don’t feel bad if you’re not a winner! They were all drawn at random!! I was gonna draw them from a hat ’cause that’d be really fun but I got lazy and just went virtual. XD
FIRST so we can all feel like winners I shall share a never before seen snippet from Heir to His Crown!! This is my reward to y’all for being super awesome Hunters!!!! <33 This is still first draft material!!!
“I’m not going to miss it.” Miguel walked up beside me. “There’s nothing left of that place. Valdork’s destroying it from the inside out.”
“I will miss the people.”
“I thought you were dead.” Surprisingly, that statement didn’t catch me off guard. I rested my hands on my chin, leaning on the pole. The waters lapped below, carrying us to our destination. The air smelled salty and made me feel fresh and whole. Cleaned. But I didn’t think anything could clean up the scars from my past. “Father wasn’t allowed to tell Mother and me what happened to you,” Miguel continued. “No one knew. We all feared the worst. I thought I’d have to overthrow Valdork and be king. It seemed Father had given up.”
NOOOOWWW How ’bout we go ahead and announce who these winners are?
Annndddd they are

IS OUT!!! 🙃
Issabelle Perry
Issabelle Perry is a proud Jesus follower, an extroverted writer, and a homeschool graduate. When she's not writing, you can find her reading, jamming to Skillet, studying history, hunting for Narnia in wardrobes, or envisioning herself wielding a magnificent sword (but due to her clumsiness, let’s hope that never happens). This self-proclaimed exclamation mark enthusiast can be found hanging out at Teen Writers’ Nook, a community of teen authors Issabelle co-founded in 2020. She is the author of Don't Let Me Go (Sky's the Limit Press 2024), May We Make Them Proud (2023), and a co-editor for two anthologies. What she’s probably doing right now is fangirling about her favorite books to random people or scanning the pantries for chocolate.

Jane
*applause* congratulations to all the winners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had sooo much fun escaping the blogosphere with everyone and had a blast finding all the clues!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for setting it up Issabelle!!!!! Though I must admit I said, “Are you serious Issabelle!? I mean, I know I said put in more dashes but this is ridiculous!” more than once while scrolling through your post. XD
As usual I have to say I loved the snippet!!!!!! I am intrigued by what Heir To His Crown going to turn into!!!!!! (Is that what it’s called? I didn’t feel like scrolling all the way back up through the post to find out if I was right. XD)
Issabelle
YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOO!!! I’m soooo happy to hear this!!! I had a blast hunting with you!!! *high fives* Aww, girl, you’re very welcome!! THANK YOU for participating!!!! <33 LOL!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Um...sorry 'bout that. When I'm typing them I now literally thinking "I should stop now. Oh, but what if Jane wants more. Oh, well, better safe than sorry." And then it just kind of ends up like that. XD YAY!!! As always, it just makes my day to hear that!!!!! Also, be looking for the first chapter of Heir to His Crown coming to you to beta read soon. If you're still up for it, that is. 🙂 YAY!!!! So far I've been really happy with how it's turning out, but I will say Keenum has been torment waaaaaay too much. :,( Oh, yes, you TOTALLY got it right!!! *thumbs up* I know what you mean! When I'm typing a comment I usually feel too lazy to scroll to the top to find those things. XD
Jane
I’m definitely still up for beta reading it!!!!!!!! In fact, one of the local magazines where I live is doing a writing contest and since I’m planning on entering, (for obvious reasons) I was wondering if you would like to read through the short story when I finish it! (It’s completely fine if you can’t, I just wanted to ask.🙂)
Issabelle
WHOOOOO!!!!!! I’ll get it and the next chapter of Into the Lamp out there soon!!!!!!! (Hopefully. XD) *gasp* THAT IS INCREDIBLE THAT YOU’RE GONNA BE ENTERING!!!!! I’m sooo proud of you, girl!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! WAAAAAAAY TO GO!!!!!!!! <33 *jumps up and down* *showers you with chocolate* *tries to get Colin to say he's excited for you but he's being stubborn* XDD YESS A HUNDRED MILLION TIMES!!!!! SEND IT MY WAY!!!!! *squeals* 🙂
Jane
I can’t wait to read it!!!!!! Aww, thank you so much!!!!! *takes chocolate* *joins you in jumping up and down* *gives Colin an annoyed look*XD
I will send it your way!!!. . . As soon as I finish it. XD
It’s, *clears throat* um, only got 266 words right now, BUT as soon as I finish it you’ll get it!!
Issabelle
YAY!!! I can’t wait to get it to you!!!! You’re soo welcome!!! *also gives Colin an annoyed look*
YAY!!!! Haha, that’s okay!! Now that I REALLY wanna read it, hopefully that’ll give you some serious motivation to finish it!!! <33 YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!! *pumps fist in the air* CAN'T WAIT!
Katherine
Oooh, that is so cool that you are entering in a writing contest!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck, Jane!!!!!!🍀 I really hope you win!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jane
Thank you!!!!! I really hope I win two!! XD
Katherine
You’re welcome!!! *sending you lots of four-leaf clovers* 😁
Katherine
Oh, and I forgot to tell you, did you know that Alana was at the webinar last night? She was under a different name. I didn’t realize it at first but when I saw her reply to your comment, I was like “heyyy that’s Alana and Jane probably doesn’t know it”. XD XD

YAY!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNING HUNTERSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Issabelle
YESSS!!!!!! CONGRATS WINNING HUNTERS!!!!!!!! <33 THANK YOU again for joining in Escaping the Blogosphere!!!
Victoria
WAIT.
WHAT?
I….. I WON!?!?!?!?! OH MY GOODNESS I WON!!!!! AAAAHHHHHH!!!! Issabelle you have NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS HAS MADE MY DAY!!!!!!!!! 😀😀😀 I almost went into shock when I saw my name!!! XD Seriously though, as weird as it sounds, this has actually been an answer to prayer! (Not that I prayed that I would win or anything.) 😉But I have been second guessing myself recently about if I should really start my blog or not (‘cause I’m kinda worried if it would get to stressful or overwhelming) so I asked God to give me a sign to confirm if I should go through with it. And since, as a grand prize winner, I can do a guest post here that seemed to give me a green light for my blog! So yeah, I don’t know if that makes sense or not, but I just thought that was kinda cool! XD
Also, you do realize how suspenseful that scrolling was, right??? XD I was so nervous I thought my heart was gonna beat right out of my chest! (I gotta say though, that joke with you winning was HILARIOUS!!! 😂😂😂)
Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE OTHER WINNERS!!!!!!! And THANK YOU SO MUCH for hosting this Issabelle!!!!! It was an ABSOLUTE BLAST!!! 😄🎉❤️
Issabelle
HAhaha, YESSS YOU WON!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS, VICTORIA!!! You deserved it!!!! *jumps up and down* Aww, girl, you have no idea how happy I am to see you sooo excited!!!!!! *hugs* LOL!!! This is just making me soooo happy!!!!!!! <33 Aww, girl, that doesn't sound weird at all!!! I've even had very similar experiences!!!! AND I'M BEYOND HAPPY THAT GOD CONFIRMED IT THROUGH THIS LITTLE OLE BLOG!!!!!!! AND YOU SHOULD TOTALLY KEEP WORKING ON STARTING YOUR BLOG!!!!!!!! It'd be EPIC!! I will admit that there are times when it does get stressful and overwhelming but it is WORTH IT IN THE END!!!! I mean if I didn't start a blog I wouldn't be friends with you and that'd just be sad. :,( And bloggers take hiatus when things get too crazy and there's nothing wrong with that!! One of my good blogging friends is on a hiatus right now. YESS I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR GUEST POST!!!!! <33 Girl, that makes total sense to me!!! And it was SUPER COOL!! I'm super glad you shared this with me!!
LOL!!! Yes, I completely understand what you went through. I had a VERY similar experience once. I literally also thought my heart was gonna beat outta my chest too. XD (Haha, YES!! I was wondering what everyone would think about that. But you know I couldn't write a post without doing SOMETHING crazy. XD)
YESS CONGRATS TO YOU ALSO!!!!!!! Aww, you're soo welcome!! THANK YOU for hunting with me!!!!! <33 WHOOO!! I'm soo happy to hear!
Jane
CONGRATULATIONS VICTORIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *throws confettii* * throws party streamers* *everyone jumps out and says happy birthday-* no, wait, that’s not what we’re celebrating, *Happy you-won-Issabelles-scavenger-hunt-day*XD
Issabelle
YESSS HAPPY-YOU-WON-ISSABELLE’S-SCAVENGER-HUNT-DAY!!!!!! We need to have that day more often. XD
Victoria
Awwww, THANK YOU SO MUCH JANE!!!!!! 😀
Victoria
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! *hugs you back* Yes, I TOTALLY will!!!!! In fact it’s actually SUUUPER close to being done, so I ‘m REALLY hoping to get it going this month! IKR?!?!?! That would definitely be sad! Making more friends online is something I’m really excited about!!! Yeah, I’ve actually already started planning when I’ll take hiatuses and stuff, so hopefully it won’t get TOO stressful. But, like you said, I do think it’ll be more than worth it in the end!!!! 😀 WHOOO!!! I’m so glad! (You might have to help me get ideas ’cause I literally have NO idea what it would be about!) XD
Issabelle
Aww, you’re soooo welcome, girl!!!!! <33 WHOOOO!!!!! *gasp* Really? EEEeeee I CAN'T WAIT!!! YESS!! You can do it!! *eagerly awaiting until Victoria's site is up* That would be the sadest. :,( You've been a SUPER awesome friend!!!!! YEA!!! I'm sure you're gonna make TONS of friends!!! Just don't forget about li'l ole me. XD 🙂 Aaah, that's probably a good idea to have plans like that. I should probably do some plans like that too so I don't just randomly start disappearing. XD I hope everything will be super great as you start your blog!! YESSS!!!!!! I'm sure you're gonna be really happy you're in the blogosphere once you get seriously in!!!!! It's EPIC!!! YAY!! (Girl, I'd be more than happy to help you get some ideas and all!!!!! <33 Aww, we'll figure something SUPER EPIC!!!)
