Over the Top Friends!

Okay, if you haven't seen this, it is a must see for each and every writer out there - whether aspiring or published. My great blog buddy Jenny Martin over at her blog Book Binge has written a fabulous spoof entitled Eye of the Agent. You can probably figure out the song that inspired it. Check it out. Really. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll wish you had access to Jenny's brain. :)

On to other fun. Wow - it's been quite a few weeks! I've received another couple of awards from some amazing blog buddies. Karen Musings over at Musings of a Novelista was kind enough to bestow upon me the Over the Top Award!

Carolyn Yalin at her blog, Thoughts from a One Armed Writer, also awarded me an award! This one is the Circle of Friends Award. Love the name of the award and love the concept! I've said it a time or two (okay, or twenty) -- the online community of writers is the BEST! Everyone is so willing to share, so ready to lend whatever help is needed. So glad I stumbled my way here :)

 

Please, do yourself a favour, and check out Karen's & Carolyn's blogs. You won't regret it!

 

I'm going to pass along these awards to 6 bloggers each. There are so many great blogs that I read regularly, I'd like to pass them along to you. If you want more great folks, just check out the blog roll :)
