										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winner Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!</p>
<p>I&#8217;M A WINNER and I&#8217;m announcing <em>THE WINNERS</em> to my contest, so read on.</p>
<p>Thank you for sponsoring my participation in the 2022 Muskoka Novel Marathon. Your overwhelming support helped me to raise much needed funds for adult literacy programs. Thanks to you, I was honoured with the Remington Award (for the writer who raises the most funds) by raising raising $1,270 from 27 donors.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also thrilled to announce my novel writing creation won an <a href="https://www.muskokanovelmarathon.com/muskoka-novel-marathon-celebrates-its-winners-and-its-fundraising/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Honourable Mention </strong>in the <strong>Best Novel-Adult Category</strong></a>. If you would like to know more about my novel writing experience, head over to my <a href="https://ascribewriters.com/writers-stop-hiding/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ascribe blog.</a> Here&#8217;s a small taste of what my latest manuscript is all about&#8230;</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-718" src="https://donnacurtin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Larks-Leap-Story-Board-images-BW.png" alt="" width="2000" height="1600" srcset="https://donnacurtin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Larks-Leap-Story-Board-images-BW.png 2000w, https://donnacurtin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Larks-Leap-Story-Board-images-BW-300x240.png 300w, https://donnacurtin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Larks-Leap-Story-Board-images-BW-768x614.png 768w, https://donnacurtin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Larks-Leap-Story-Board-images-BW-1200x960.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Further to raising funds to support important work in adult literacy, I&#8217;m pleased to announce that I wrote over 70 pages (that&#8217;s about 17,000 words) over the marathon and I can&#8217;t wait to get back at it!</p>
<p>Okay. Now for the fun part&#8230; my contest winners!</p>
<p>For every $10 donation to support adult literacy, your name was added to TWO separate draws. You should have seen me with all these snippets of paper, with doodled names, stuffed into jars! What a great procrastination project!</p>
<p>There are THREE WINNERS from the first draw. I&#8217;ll provide the winner with a character sketch and they will pick the name of a major character for my new novel.</p>
<ul>
<li>BERNICE MARSH</li>
<li>CHRISTINE COGLAN</li>
<li>SEANA MOORHEAD</li>
</ul>
<p>And for the final draw, and the winner of a dozen <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100080048105897" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cupcakes By Hope</a>&#8230;. the winner is&#8230;</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-688" src="https://donnacurtin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/cupcake-4some-bw.jpg" alt="" width="4032" height="3024" srcset="https://donnacurtin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/cupcake-4some-bw.jpg 4032w, https://donnacurtin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/cupcake-4some-bw-300x225.jpg 300w, https://donnacurtin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/cupcake-4some-bw-768x576.jpg 768w, https://donnacurtin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/cupcake-4some-bw-1200x900.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px" /></p>
<ul>
<li>LAUREN MADER!</li>
</ul>
<p>Thank you once again for your support.</p>
<p>I will be reaching out to the winners shortly to finalize the details.</p>
