Today I'm supporting my fellow bloggers by participating in a blogfest. Originally, I thought this meant free booze, live music, and pretty lights. I was wrong.
I've agreed to visit all of the sites listed HERE. At the moment there are 226 bloggers are on the list. I'm number 160.
I need to start reading the fine print (simple directions) before I agree to something.
226 blog sites to visit and 20,162 unread messages thanks to the new iphone software - its going to be a very busy day!

I've also agreed to recommend three bloggers.
Here they are in no particular order.... drum roll please!
1. Green Monkey Tales - That's right, shameless self promotion. If you click on the link it will take you to yesterdays post. This is my idea of a bitchfest.
2. Kitty Howard - love her name. She blogs stories gained through life experiences. Some are good. Some not so good. But she is thankful for both. (oops, what I meant was some of her life experiences are good and some are not so good. ALL her stories are good)
3. Alices Reprieve - Because its beautiful here. Alice is learning about what really matters most in life. For Alice that means, faith, hope and most important LOVE.
And one more for good luck, EMPTY WHITE PAGES. I met Sarah Pearson at the Insecure Writers Support Group but she's got nothing to be insecure about. She is also on a publishing path. And like me, she's made the time to write and has run out of excuses. If she lived closer (she's in the UK) I'd show up on her doorstep with a basket full of cheese, wine and maybe a kitty or two.
Okay...now, back to me. More MONKEY please!
Because so many of you have supported my joy of writing over the past two years, I have a secret to share. No...this is NOT about the Tea Party. This is a TOP SECRET BEAUTY TREATMENT. Promise me you'll tell everyone!
As always, thank you for reading and commenting.
In your own unique way, you're each helping to make me a better writer.

ReplyDeleteYour link to Kitty Howard tells me the blog doesn't exist. Is it my computer being an idiot or is the link broken?
Oh, and Christie Brinkley? She has a portrait in her attic ...
