Sweet! Last night I broke through 50 followers. I guess that means an award or something.
Blogfest?
Maybe later. I already have a great idea for that, but let's stay on-topic and talk about the ever-so-manly cherry cupcake award.
(EDIT) I modified the cupcake award to the BEER award. Much more my style... Sorry, but I had to warm up without you all.
Raquel Byrnes
First off, THANKS to Raquel Byrnes over at
Nite Writer for my blog award! She is my sworn enemy, folks, because of this post right here:
Body Language Blogfest Entry.
Anyone who pulls that sorta stunt on me is going
down. She has a wonderful blog, and despite her evil nature, she's a dangerously talented writer!
Don't let the smile fool you folks. Pure evil. I'm telling you. Read her Body Language entry if you don't believe me.
Christine H.
My 50th follower was Mrs. Christine H over at
Writer's Hole. I love her blog's name, since, as you know, if you read my blog title, I'm Digging With the Worms.
I love digging! Deep!
So on to Christine I pass this award. Check out her site and keep her encouraged! She's trudging through a first-draft fantasy with heavy character development. My kinda book, actually -- no cliche cardboard characters allowed, JRR sorta scenes. I'd love to read some of it when it's ready for public consumption.
Harley Palmer
I'd also like to recognize Harley Palmer over at
Labotomy of a Writer for her series on editing and revising. If you haven't already, go check it out.
Her series is currently on WORLD BUILDING. Go back in time a bit and you'll find all sorts of goodies regarding how an
editor thinks when reviewing your writing. She was even kind enough to sponsor a Q&A a few Saturdays ago.
Andrew Rosenberg
And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention
Write Runner. That's Andrew Rosenberg, and for some reason I love his website.
Dig around Write Runner and look for his series on writing, and check out some of his careful methodology for analyzing your books. This dude, folks, is my sorta crazy. I'd be happy to share my padded cell with Andrew. Hell, we might write something great!
That's him in the pic. Look at the insanity in those eyes. What a great Steampunk getup.
Oh, and don't forget his
BAD GIRL blogfest, upcoming May 7.
Anyway, there are a TON of awesome blogs on my sidebar. Check em out. Believe it or not, I do pass up blogs that are not interesting or seem too commercial, so if I'm following you, it means I want to hear what you have to say.
Thank you all!
