Did You Update Your Blog Today?

[JenNipps]

THe guest post by Theresa Chaze (http://jensorganizedwriter.wordpress.com/2008/04/01/guest-blogger-theresa-chaze-knowing-what-your-character-looks-like-is-not-enough-2/) I mentioned in yesterday's reminder is now up;

[CatMuse33]

Well, Miss Michele is back, with a reading for a certain AWer. :) (You'll have to read to find out who it is.)

Link in sig.

I am currently so backed up on readings... have three more to go and then will be caught up, and hopefully back to posting Cards of the Day. (Providing I remember to bring my cards on vacation with me.)

It's Tuesday, and therefore time for teasing (http://www.karenduvall.blogspot.com).

[Hopcus]

I updated my fashion section with new spring/summer trends and where to find them.

[Unfocused Me]

I did, because today, I walk like a cowboy (http://theunfocusedlife.com/2008/04/01/i-walk-like-a-cowboy/).

[Prevostprincess]

I have a contest every month for a free, signed copy of my book PLUS (and here's the real draw.. SIGH) a poopin' moose key chain straight from Ketchikan, Alaska. So, I posted on this month's topic and last month's winners.

[Dragonfly45]

Blogged today about a strange new state law in the making...you're going to have to read this one to believe it...

[melaniehoo]

I just posted about my nail-less toe. It's almost better. ;)

"Homework is Hell!"

Comments always appreciated.

[flashgordon]

Yes, blogged about a new book on sustainable ethanol (http://newgreatbooks.blogspot.com/2008/04/sustainable-ethanol-future-of-energy.html). Very interesting reading...

[DonnaDuck]

I just did about my week, including my San Francisco trip. Yeah, I lost my job but I've never been higher!

The Scissortail Creative Writing Festival (http://jensorganizedwriter.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/scissortail-creative-writing-festival/) is going on at my alma mater this weekend.

[Prevostprincess]

I posted the last of the February winning entries - AW's own Polly Kahl - for a galley of my book and the famed poopin' moose. This month's contest (http://www.doreenorion.com/blog/2008/04/april_contest_a_royal_expose.html), "A Royal Expose" is already under way.

[wordsmith]

two posts: At Musings: No child left where? (http://geisswordsmith.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/another-black-eye-for-detroit/)
At BOL: Service dogs for Autistic children (http://blogs.babiesonline.com/2008/04/03/service-dogs-autistic-children%e2%80%99s-best-friends/) (Actually, wrote it yesterday, but it got posted today.)

[WildScribe]

I just updated with my thoughts about poly in the news and brining it to public attention.

Speaking of attention, my 100 visitor spike is dead and buried, and my views are way down. Bummer! :(

[melaniehoo]

I just wrote about running this morning with a large rock in my hand.

[Toothpaste]

Yup, two posts two days in a row. Both about the Ad Astra convention I attended (as did Mr. Jim C Hines). First post tells the tale. Second post has the pictures!

[bsolah]

Yeah, updated twice this week.

[mada]

I blogged about a bad take out experience (http://heatheraynnebrooks.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/dinner-gone-wrong/). I also posted something about this month's blog chain (http://heatheraynnebrooks.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/aw-blog-chain/).

[AmyDoodle]

Yeah, I posted about snow. It's not something we get much of in The South. Now if you could make little round men and ice cream out of mud the color of dirty copper, we'd have a monopoly.

[Dragonfly45]

A post yesterday that is probably one of the more offensive things I've written and involves laughing at a dead person...yes, I know...I'm horrible. My post today is about a lizard that can run on water and how this lizard could be a very distant relative of Jesus Christ

[JJ Cooper]

Just updated about how I managed to land an agent.

Sixty degrees of separation (http://virtualwordsmith.blogspot.com/2008/04/sixty-degrees-of-separation.html)

[ritinrider]

yes, on my scholarship blog (http://roadtoscholarship.wordpress.com) about why it's the student's responsibility to find and apply for scholarships. As opposed to letting mom and dad do all the work.

[WildScribe]

I write every day (barring the one day I missed :( ) Anyway... today I wrote about cheating, and whether non-physical counts.

[Karen Duvall]

I sure did! It's Freestyle Friday (http://karenduvall.blogspot.com/2008/04/freestyle-friday.html) on my blog, so I'm talking about the extra fabulous Colorado Gold Writers' Contest sponsored by Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers (http://www.rmfw.org)!

I wanted to give blood (http://edpahule.blogspot.com/2008/04/i-wanted-to-give-blood.html)

[melaniehoo]

I wrote about the energy I'm feeling lately & quoted a passage from Eat, Pray, Love that really affected me.

[mada]

I started a new blog (http://completelyunperfectmom.wordpress.com/) today. It doesn't have much on it yet, but I'm sure I'll have plenty to say in time!

I also blogged a bit about journaling by candlelight (http://heatheraynnebrooks.wordpress.com/2008/04/04/journaling-by-candlelight/). By doing it with barely enough light to see, I didn't pay attention to the words I was writing, which I think turned out to be a good thing.

[jst5150]

South to Santiago: Day 7: Just a few snapshots ... (http://www.jasontudor.com/blog/2008/04/04/day-6-just-a-few-snapshots/)

Posted twice this week. A record for me. I'm blogging about saving money on a freelancer's income (looking to start a personal challenge about this and will blog about the steps), making your website look professional, and blogging for money.

[catephoenix]

I've added details of an anthology looking for short stories...

[ritinrider]

Wildscribe, at least you have a hundred visitor spike. I think my graph would just shut my computer down if I ever had a hundred visitors in one day. Although, I'm working to have that happen, so I'm trying to post more often. Today, The Road to Scholarships (http://roadtoscholarships.wordpress.com/2008/04/05/timing-for-scholarships/), was about timing, and how now is the time for younger students to begin their scholarship quest.

[Karen Duvall]

I don't usually blog on Saturdays, but a friend was talking about how fun it is to dress up your pet, so I thought I'd try it out. Want to see the results (http://karenduvall.blogspot.com/2008/04/silly-saturday.html)? :e2photo:

Slowly digging out of a backlog of readings, Miss Michele did a profound reading for a woman named Stephanie today. The power of the emotions behind this one startled me, I have to say! My fears of pregnancy affecting my readings were apparently unfounded.

Hi all, I just updated my site with a new short video of "What's In A Writer's Bag?". I take a look into what writers keep with them when they go off to write. You might think it's funny :)

its over here at kalebnation.com (http://www.kalebnation.com/?p=528)

[CatMuse33]

One of my latest blogs at Babies Online (http://blogs.babiesonline.com/2008/04/10/ill-pass-on-the-belly-shots/) is up. I talk about 'belly shots.' (You must be intrigued now!)

Also, for the first time in well over a month, I updated Anything that Pays (www.allcotmedia.blogspot.com). And, yesterday, I blogged at www.missmichelestarot.blogspot.com, with a reading for an AW regular. Please check in after you read it, Rebecca. I want to hear your thoughts, as it was not the news I expected! (Now everyone knows they really want to read that one!)

I had three entries today, on 1) recovering from my latest hip replacement (ouchies,) 2) my writer friend A.S.King's new book The Dust of 100 Dogs, and 3) plugged another friend's new blog Shrink Rap. My next one will be about our A.W.'s Prevostprincess's book Queen Of The Road.

[bluntforcetrauma]

A couple new entries. One personal observation. One fun bit.

[WildScribe]

Little late in the day, but I updated on one. I have some catching up to do on my other.

[Dragonfly45]

I posted today about wishing I had a billy goat goatee, among other things

[WildScribe]

I did! :)

[AllyWoof]

I don't remember if I mentioned it, but I updated my blog last week.

[bluntforcetrauma]

Updated as of the wee hours this morning.

[PrettySpecialGal]

YEAH!! I did! I wrote a story based on one that Jabs' grandmother told me this past New Year's Day.

It was fun. Hadn't done it in a while. Need to write more often...

[bluntforcetrauma]

New update as of a few minutes ago. A piece on Buster Martin, 101 year old marathon runner.

[silktwisteddagger]

Blogged about an interview I did with Bella Besame.

[Gina_Marie]

[WildScribe]

I just blogged about my CSA membership at Healthy, Green and Frugal (http://healthygreenfrugal.blogspot.com/).

[Prevostprincess]

Just posted one of the March writing contest winners. The topic was "Travel Stories from Hell" and the editor of Bus Conversions magazine (I'm sure you all have up to date subscriptions) had a camping story that brought up some PTSD for me from our trip.

I found a contest on a blog-buzz site - win a hard drive for the best blog with a list of points. So I entered the contest by listing five reasons I read Brooke Shields' memoir, even though I avoid celebrity memoirs.

Yeppers. Did I just say 'Yeppers'? That's just wrong. Update is hot off the press.

[escritora]

One of my commenters has trouble with show, don't tell (http://auriacortes.com/examples-of-show-dont-tell/). I posted examples (http://auriacortes.com/examples-of-show-dont-tell/).

Updated both blogs today...

Review of The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book by Patricia Fry (http://virtualwordsmith.blogspot.com/2008/04/review-right-way-to-write-publish-and.html)

Interview with Patricia Fry, author of The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book (http://blogstopbooktours.wordpress.com/2008/04/14/an-interview-with-patricia-fry-author-of-the-right-way-to-write-publish-and-sell-your-book/)

[Sailor Kenshin]

Why, yes I did. Only two more chapters and a coda to go.

[WildScribe]

I wrote about my amazing day yesterday. Woot!

[birdfeeder]

Today's post is called Book Promotion, Your Brain is Fat, and A Thought on Nose Blowing

(The book promotion is a link to Sarah's LJ post--excellent stuff!)

[Lyra Jean]

I just added another recipe to my blog. Chocolate igloos. Yummy.

[benbradley]

Added two FF stories as my sig says, but only because AW went down the last two Sunday nights, shortly after the FF challenges started.

I'm a little worried the last one is going to get me in trouble with some governmental agency...

[Arisa81]

I updated: Edit Your Contacts (http://aprilaragam.blogspot.com/2008/04/edit-your-contacts.html)

[britlitfantw]

I posted my interview with K.L. Going. :)

http://britlitfantwin.livejournal.com/79775.html

[Dibley]

I posted about some plants I'm babysitting but I'm afraid not for long.

[wyntermoon]

Chatted about my night ghost hunting (http://weeghosties.com) at the West Virginia Penitentiary and what ghosties I found there. :D

[DonnaDuck]

I updated yesterday but forgot to post in there. Yeah, I'm bad, I know. It's only this once! Anyway, it was my addition to the blog chain. Oh how allergies suck.

[AmyDoodle]

Chocolate igloos? Rosemerry, I'm gonna have to check it out. Mmmmm.

I blogged this weekend about finally following through with a tag. (Interesting facts about me? Oh puleeze, everybody mows down passing motorists when they leave church.)

Today's was just good ole common sense. Why a woman would win the Masters. C'mon, that's an easy one. . .

I've been pretty good about updating and pretty lousy about stopping by to say so. Fresh this week are a Gratitude Monday post and a seven random things about me meme.

Parfait, two different salads, no bake cheesecake. What's not to like.

[Lyra Jean]

The link in my sig should work now. How do you get it to say what you want to say?

[WordsWithoutAFace]

'Tis updated as of yesterday!

I posted an apology -- of sorts -- to all the agents I've ever e-queried.

And I've called for some specific feedback on different approaches to sharing material on the blog and getting some input.

So feedback away!

[bluntforcetrauma]

Sure did. Hope you visit and enjoy. Comments appreciated. Positive or negative.

[AmyDoodle]

Rosemerry, I'm not tech enough to help you with the link (hubby does mine and tells me it's magic), but I love your site. Everything looks good AND it's stuff that even I (kitchen-challenged; I'm basically useless except as a taste tester) can make!

[wordsmith]

Updated late last night (early this morning)...a little post I like to call:
"Why yes sir, you do need an editor." (http://geisswordsmith.wordpress.com/)

Feel free to chime in...especially if you've got a war story to share.

[Lyra Jean]

A lot of the recipes are ones I find in the grocery stores or somewhere on the net. It just doesn't seem right to copy all the recipes out of my cookbooks. But if anyone has any recipes I can add to my blog. I'll link to your blog and of course give you full credit.

I'm just now getting back into it which is why you don't see a lot of links to other blogs right now. If anyone tries the recipes cause I have not tried them all by a long shot please feel free to leave a post about how it came out or if you had any difficulties in making the recipe. I know there was this one time I made the lemon bread and forgot to put in the baking soda and it ended up being a lemon brick instead.

Thanks to all those who checked out my blog. I'll try to post more regularly.

Posted on a human interest story related to The Masters Golf Tournament. You thought golf was boring, not! Check this out.

I updated! And thanks for the record high visits yesterday! Woot!

[JTM]

Phew! Updated today. Been away for a while due to some kid issues, but all's well again.

[Dragonfly45]

posted last night about the insect character that my overactive imagination has created.

[Prevostprincess]

Just posted about my first "real" book group appearance request. (My book isn't even published yet, so I'm particularly thrilled.) This was from complete strangers, not people who have to read it - like relatives, friends (those who want to stay so, anyway), etc.

[DonnaDuck]

Rosemary, for a link that actually says what you want, use [ url=http://url of site]words you want the link to say[ /url] minus all of the spaces. That should work.

[williemeikle]

I've just got a new shiny area on blogspot...

http://williammeikle.blogspot.com/

[CDarklock]

I updated mine. Wish I hadn't had to make the update I did, but life goes on. Sort of.

I've posted a new excerpt from KNIGHT'S CURSE on my blog (http://www.karenduvall.blogspot.com). This week's installment takes Chalice to the Cathedral Basilica in downtown Denver, where the mummified remains of Saint Geraldine are interred. Come by to see what happens...

A piece entitled "A Heart Bleeds"

Wrote about how water will be the focus following the precession of the equinoxes and the flip over to the Age of Aquarius.

As I continue to research and develop ideas about memoir writing, I dig deeper into the way gender roles have matured over the years and how this valuable information will help me write my memoir.

I posted this morning about deciding to join a CSA (http://heatheraynnebrooks.wordpress.com/2008/04/16/choosing-a-csa/) for the summer.

[tammieofmi]

Did a post on the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction and the women authors listed.

[tammieofmi]

On a roll. Did a post on Jennifer Weiner/ABC Deal/Women's Television.

[JTM]

Posted about the women from the polygamist compound in Texas who were interviewed on ABC last night and this morning.

American Idol top 7—Mariah the mentor (http://predictidol.com/2008/04/15/american-idol-top-7%e2%80%94mariah-the-mentor/). Pretty good night overall, despite the theme :)

Also, we had a 12-year-old guest commenter. It was interesting to hear the perspective of a preteen who doesn't typically watch Idol.

[JenNipps]

I've been remiss about putting blog post announcements up in here. Monday, all three of them got an update. Today, so far, just Creatif has but the other two are on the schedule, too.

Have you heard about the JK Rowling Lawsuit (http://jensorganizedwriter.wordpress.com/2008/04/16/jk-rowling-lawsuit/) or am I just way behind the times?

[stamperdad]

A return to my historical postings. My take on a remarkable man, Theodore Roosevelt. This year is the 150th anniversary of his birth.

"Bully! Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. - Life Lived to It's Fullest"

Comments are always appreciated. Enjoy.

[CDarklock]

Wrote about how water will be the focus following the precession of the equinoxes and the flip over to the Age of Aquarius.

But... Aquarius is an air sign.

I updated. Not like it matters. I don't feel good today.

[plaidearthworm]

Posted about cutting my very long hair--I can feel the breeze on my neck again! Wow!

[Arisa81]

I did update my blog: Preparing Blog Posts (http://aprilaragam.blogspot.com/2008/04/preparing-blog-posts.html)

[wordsmyth]

Interview went well! (http://virtualwordsmith.blogspot.com/2008/04/interview-went-well.html)

Yeppers! I really need to hear some thoughts/feedback from fellow writers -- particularly those of you who either participated in or paid attention to our recent first page feedback blitz.

Come on in!! :)

Got a post up at Babies Online... Yes, I talked about how to "walk off the weight." No...really. :) Tomorrow, the American Heart Association wants everyone to take a few (million) steps. (http://blogs.babiesonline.com/2008/04/15/walk-a-million-for-heart-disease/)

And posted at www.reconmag.blogspot.com, with it being my new obsession and all. LOL
