This is the easiest blogfest ever... because it's all about Paying it Forward and it's being hosted by
Alex Cavanaugh and Matthew McNish of
QQQE. We've all had a blogger who came along and commented, befriended us when we didn't think anyone was paying any attention or pulled us into a blogfest that introduced us to another friend we might not have met otherwise, right? For me, it was Michael (or Conchscooter) of
Key West Diary, Rayna of
Coffee Rings Everywhere, Michael of
In Time who gave me my first blog award and Talei of
Musings of an Aspiring Scribe who gave me a second and became a great friend... which then led me to meet more great friends too numerous to count! Well, today's blogfest is about thanking those people by introducing 3 bloggers to the other participants of the blogfest. It's not an award or a contest, just an introduction. Cool, right? Thanks Matthew and Alex!
So here goes:
I'd like to introduce you to:
Ashley Hunt of
Broken Simmy and
Willows: A Dark Love Story. While she just began blogging in May of 2011, she's been writing for long enough to know the disappointments of the publishing world already. I hope you'll check out her blog and give her an encouraging word or two!
I'd also like to introduce you to... Sarah of
The Unwrapping. Her blog is special because its purpose is to hold her writing and her style is her own. She is a poet and stylist while also expressing the emotions of a mother, woman and... human. When you visit her blog, go expecting to feel as though you have peaked into her world-- but have also met a friend.
And finally last, but hardly least: is Lissa of
A Chance of Sunshine. She's an artist, a writer, a photographer, and a fellow NaBloWriMo participant.
So that's it for my introductions! I hope you enjoy meeting my two new friends and my older but cherished one.
Thanks to all my blog friends who light up my life every day!!!
