Wonderful list Louise! I can’t wait to check out the one’s I haven’t seen. You are introducing me to several new ones. Yay!
Louise, thanks to much for mentioning Writers in the Storm, and my sale! You’ve got a gorgeous masthead! Now I’ve got to go check out all the other posts!
good luck in your career, Laura. I loved your post. have fun reading blogs.
Thanks for linking me in yo your list… and you’ve given me some new places to visit!
your welcome Jennifer. You’ve got a great blog.
I love the phrasing in that song, Pat. Tattoos on this town are the results of people’s actions…it catches me every time I hear it.
Hi, Louise,
Thanks for these links–and a song. Hope you feel better soon.
I haven’t come upon most of these posts, Louise. Thanks for the links and for placing my blog among them. Such an honor!
I love your blog, August. it’s always a pleasure to read it.
Interesting list of blogs, Louise. I hope you don’t suffer too long with your migraine. Those temperature swings in Calgary are awesome!
Thanks Sheila. I went to watch my granddaughter swim and the humidity of the pool seemed to help alot. from -40F to +35F overnight. headaches are the norm.
Very helpful, Louise. Thanks a bunch.
you’re welcome, Sandy. have a great weekend.
The deeper I look, the more info I find. the challenge is to wade thru the trash. happy reading.
Really useful mashup, Louise. They amount of great info out there is staggering! Thanks for doing this.
I am constantly amazed at the quality of the info.
Love your mash up, Louise, but it’s August McLaughlin, not McFarland. Although, Karen and August are both super fabulous, so maybe you’re channeling a love child from them?
I need to check out JA Konrath’s post, he’s always good for a laugh. And good call on the warning for Chuck’s post. Yeah, he does like the swear!
Tameri — thanks for the correction on August’s name. I knew that. and it shows what happens when you’re blogging with a migraine. JAK is always good for a chuckle and chuck’s language singes anyone’s ears at times…
Tameri,
Channeling a love child, I love that! LOL!!!! That is hilarious! 🙂
Louise, I love you girl! Please do feel better. And thank you for all the great suggested posts!
thanks Karen…I came home early with this darned migraine. We’re having a major weather transition from -40 to +35F overnight. and that upsets my equilibrium or something and I end up with a migraine. Love child for us? sounds good to me.
Great mash-up Louise!
Thanks Susie. I love Friday’s and looking for mash up articles.
Love the mash-up, Louise! Happy Friday reading to me! 🙂
Enjoy these articles, Ginger
Looks like a great list, Louise. Will check out. Thanks!
