I Miss You Blogfest

Yay! Today is the I Miss You Blogfest!

The bloggers we really miss…

and the ones we would really miss!

Do you have a couple blogger buddies who aren’t posting as often? Those who’ve pulled back and seem absent from the blogging world? Do you have blogger buddies you are grateful they are still around and would miss if they vanished? Now is your chance to show your appreciation and spotlight them!

List one to three bloggers you really miss and one to three bloggers you would miss if they stopped blogging. Then go leave a comment on those blogs.

Our blogger friends are special – time to let them know!

 

Sign up Here if you want to join in the fun!

 

 

So onto my picks!

 

If you look over to my sidebar, you will see a little blog called THINGS I YELL AT YOU (which, to this day, I still think is one of the best blog titles ever)

 

This blog is run by a lovely lady called Joan Crawford. And she is AWESOME.

 

Seriously. Everything that comes out of her mouth (figuratively, of course, since any interaction I've had with her is via the interwebs) is comedy gold.

 

Don't believe me? Read this post. Or this one.

 

But as you can see, Joan updates rarely. When she does, it's a splash of sunshine, a rainbow on a drizzly day! But most of the time, we sit here and wait. and wait. and wait. For months. Or maybe close to a year. And it's sad.

 

So Joan, if you're reading this, WE MISS YOU!

 

 

Alright, so now onto a blogger I'd miss if they stopped. This is a harder one, because truthfully I'd miss pretty much all the blogger I frequent with any sort of regularity.

 

But since I have to pick someone, I'm going to go with my pal TL Conway. I mean, I actually eat lunch with Tricia once a month or so, so we stay pretty caught up, but there's something about her blog posts that just make me happy and if she were to close shop permanently, well I'd frown a sad little frown.

 

 

So there you have it!

How about you? Anyone you miss/would miss?

In Which I Take A Rain Check

Sorry guys, no Wednesday Weird for today. I think I'm just going to use the extra time to NaNo and get back to querying Break Free.

I'd say "catch up" on NaNo but at this point I'm still 5 days ahead, so I guess I mean, stay ahead.


So instead I offer you this:

 

In Which It's NaNo Season

So we're halfway into November and I have yet to do a NaNoWriMo post yet.

Mildly Pathetic, Sarah. *Shakes head at self*

To be fair, though, I had some Halloween posts I wanted to get to, and then it just snuck up so fast. Startling really.

Just so startled!

 

So anyway, I'm participating. Natch. You can see my little wordcount score keeper widegety thingamabob over there somewhere ----->

Once again, my user name is Falen1 so friend me if you're NaNoing and we've missed each other.

The first NaNo weekend, Hannah, Tricia and I attended a Twin Cities NaNo getaway weekend. It involved driving 2.5 hours to a cabin on a lake with other Twin Cities NaNoers and writing until our backs gave out.

So because of that, I'm ahead by like 5 days, which is awesome. Also because I'll be out of town this coming weekend and for thanksgiving so I needed to get ahead and need to stay ahead.

I'm also being a NaNo Rebel this year. Instead of starting something new (because I need another unfinished MS like I need another hole in the head) I decided to use NaNo to put the final 50K on my WIP All That Remains (I had already put about 45K into it before NaNo started)

That MS was giving me tons of grief around this time last year, but I'm happy to say I got past that and now I've reached that manic part in the MS, where things are ramping up towards the climax and I want to be writing on it ALL THE TIME mostly because I can't wait to finish it and dive into revisions.

So there you have it.

How's writing been going for you?

Whoopsie

IWSG

Well, it's the first Wednesday of the month. Which means it's time for ISWSG.

And I have to say... I got nothing. When I'm writing this, it's yesterday evening, and I'm just so worried and filled with anxiety over the election that the idea of being worried about being a writer is just Phoosh - right over my head. We have 2 very important amendments we're voting on in MN, besides the very important POTUS elecetion and now that I'm done with the day job for the day, it's even harder to concentrate on writer worries.

I guess I do have this. Yesterday (today for me) after I had voted and when I first started to feel that anxiety, I turned to the one thing I knew could fully distract me: my WIP.

I've reached the point where I absolutely love it, and where, from where I'm at until the end, pretty much only bad stuff happens, which means I'm constantly itching to get back to it because I CAN'T WAIT to get to the end.

So I guess that's something. Sometimes when the insecurity comes from other things in life and not writing, it's the writing that can make those things go away. Even if just for a little bit.

Internet Hugs for all!!
