Name The Frog For A Free Pass into Nightmare on Query Street Slush
Here it is! The contest to name the tree frog living on my deck. The winner will get an automatic pass into the slush pile of Nightmare on Query Street. We are only accepting 100 entries. In Query Kombat we received over 220 entries, which means some people will be left out of the slush.
This little guy or gal comes out at night where he/she likes to perch on my porch light or wind chime and pounce on unsuspecting moths. During the day, our new friend, hides under the siding, making for cute pictures.
He/she appears to be a Notre Dame fan because his/her first appearance was during their game against Michigan. Though he/she didn't bring any luck as the Irish lost.
I can't pass by any chance at some fun and what could be more fun than inventing names! So here are the rules:
- Invent a name and leave it in the comments. Not a scientific name, but a strictly fun name of your choosing. You many leave details of why you picked that name, and you may use names from your manuscript.
-Try to come up with something new and avoid using names others have already taken. Use of usual frog names is probably not going to work here. My 18-year-old daughter has reserved the right to pick the winner since she first discovered the frog. She won't be impressed by ordinary names.
-Include your twitter handle or your email address in your comment so I can notify the winner.
-One, and only one, entry per person. Be a follower of this blog. (It's required for the Nightmare Query anyway.)
-The contest will run through my birthday on Tuesday, September 17th. The winner will be posted on September 18th. Winner is not guaranteed a spot in Nightmare on Query Street (October 19th), only a spot in the slush. But you'll have a email subject line that stands out.
To make it even more fun, feel free to comment on other people's entries and leave congrats or chuckles for their naming choice.
If you need any more incentive to enter, Nightmare on Query Street already has eight agents signed on, and there is the possibility of more! For details on Nightmare on Query Street, so you know what you're getting into, go here.
There are actually two frogs in this one. Can you find them?
Now post that unique and funny name!
