Pay It Forward Blogfest


Matthew MacNish and Alex J.Cavanaugh are having a blogfest today to introduce everyone to everyone else. What? you say. How is that possible?

Well, it goes a little like this: Somewhere around 175 bloggers signed up at the link on Alex’s and Matthew’s blog sites. Each blogger who entered lists, describes, and links to three blogs he/she enjoys reading, ones that may fly under the radar of a lot of other bloggers.

But the fun doesn’t stop there because we get to visit and follow all the blogs featured in people's posts. In fact, why not visit everyone on the linky list here?

I follow a lot of truly wonderful blogs, so it was hard to narrow my choices to three. And while many of you probably follow these three already (queue drum roll) here they are:

Samantha Vérant: Is it okay to say that she is one of my absolute favorite writer people? She is! And…she has an AMAZING memoir you’ll have to keep on your radar when it finds its publishing home.
And it will!

The Writing Nut: Fellow writers whose life and adventures I live through vicariously. I love Nutschell’s posts!

Nicki Elson’s Not-So-Deep Thoughts: Fun, fun, fun blog. Much of it about the 80s, which I am all too familiar with. Plus, she has a great debut novel, Three Daves!

I am super excited to hop around to all of your blogs today. I look forward to meeting so many new and wonderful blogging friends!

Happy Hopping!

    Hi Susan. I'm here from the fest, and just wanted to say thanks for taking part. Looks like you're featuring some great blogs.

    And I wasn't following you until just now, so the fest is working already!

    Hey! What a nice surprise to see my name on your list. :) I'm still recovering from vacation and figured it was best to abstain from this fest, so it's nice I still get to participate in this way. Thanks!

    I got slightly overwhelmed by the blogfest but am slowly catching up. I read on Matthew's blog how he and Alex visited everyone plus edited the list and I'm in awe.
