What I'm Into...

This is a quick list of the evil, and by evil I mean blog hops, I am looking forward to in March. This list is in no way comprehensive...these are just the ones I am signed up for and thought I'd share. Any good ones I've missed? Let me know in the comments!

Mark Koopmans has to be the best sport in the blogosphere. Mark made the mistake of calling me his cyber-sister due to our shared lack of sensibilities. What a guy, right? To thank him, I have tortured him relentlessly, like any good sibling would ;)

Mark is hosting the Got Green Blogfest 2.0, this Friday~ March 15.

Hurry on over...sign up...write up a post that makes Mark's life difficult, er, I mean enjoyable!

I'm also throwing my two cents in on best movies by adding my name to the Top 10 Movie Countdown! Blogfest. Hosted by Ninja Captain, Alex Cavanaugh on the 18th. Should be fun to see which movie wins. (Think the Oscars were impressive? Wait until you read these lists!)



And if you're a new writer, an old new writer, or just an old writer who has been trying to pound out words all alone from whatever rock you are living under...you need a beta.

Easier said than done?

Nope.

Join the ladies of Falling for Fiction! They are hosting a Beta (first reader)/ CP (critique partner) mixer!

It's the Matchelor and your next best friend is a blog hop away!




The Matchelor Questionnaire
Name:
Email Address*:
  • Genre.
  • What you're looking for in a CP? Please list at least three things.
  • Long term love or fling?
  • Favorite book.
  • Strengths and Weaknesses as a writer.
  • If you were stranded on a dessert island what three things would you bring.
*If you would like your email address private please indicate on your form. But we do need a way for your match to contact you.


And if you're a blogger who wants to meet more bloggers...maybe some who are giving up their life under the rocks for life among humans (writers are human!)~ then you will want to check out DL Hammons blogfest!

  15. Looks like you're in for some blog time. I love blog hops, and I think I'm going to sign up for Mark's. I somehow didn't know about Alex's (and I'm usually so good about getting my news from his blog!), but movies are near and dear to my heart.

  22. Hey Elizabeth,

    Oh my, blog hops, blogfests, yikes! I know it's such a great way to accumulate followers, I mean to rejoice in the sharing, caring ethos of the blogging community. Strangely enough, when I suggested several different blog hops or fests or whatever, they never came to fruition.

    Seriously, all the best with them all and have fun. One of my um blogfests was the following. Sadly, it never happened....

    The "Groundblog Day" blogfest : Wouldn't it be great for a blogfest? This would be where we repeat the same paragraph, over and over again. Yes indeed, a paragraph that repeats over and over and over...If you get what I mean?

  24. So many great fests! I'm doing Alex's but I have to hold off on any others since I"m doing A-Z. Plus getting ready to pound out a first draft of a new story and you know what a time-suck that is.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. A-Z is plenty! You guys who do it are real blog heroes!

      Delete
  25. With all the work involved in co-hosting A to Z, I'm not sure I have the energy for much else.

    1. I didn't even have the energy to participate in the A-Z challenge much less host it! Rest up!

  26. Busy, busy, busy. Then AtoZ is next month. After Alex's, I'm taking a rest until April, then will taper off some in May. Can't wait until then. :)

  27. Wow, lots of blog hops going down! I don't know if I can keep up! :)

    1. I understand. I get that anxious feeling every now and then knowing I will forget something!

  28. Wow! There is a lot going on. Have fun with all of them.

  29. LOL,

    It's OK, Sis, I have a long memory :)

    Thanks for the mention and I am sooo taking a blog break - until May :)

  30. I love your new banner, Liz! Absolutely *LOVE* it! Tara did an awesome job! :)

    Can't wait for the Movie Countdown on Monday! That awesome Ninja Captain Alex!

  31. Crud, woman! I'll ready the straight-jacket. That way, when you lose your mind, it'll be available at a seconds notice! I may need one too. I didn't bite off as much as you did, but I got a fair share of the evil pie. I was up until 3:00 a.m., working on the top 10 countdown and tinkered w/it more today. Mind you, I still didn't get the stupid video clips place where I wanted them. While in draft mode, everything looks swell, but click over to preview mode, the idiot things are nowhere close to where I put them. Finally I accepted defeat and decided it'll be good enough. MY BRAIN CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE!!!! Okay, deep breaths, lol. Now that it's all over, I'm excited about Monday. I can't wait to see everybody's picks. :)

  32. Wow, just looking at the list makes me antsy! I have to finish this WIP I've been working on since last winter. And I'm only at 61Ks. Darn, or I would sign up for everything. Have fun.

  33. This sounds as if you will be very busy! Thanks for posting all of the different blogfests.
