Today I’m doing my second Friday blog-hop, in an attempt to give some love back to my favourite bloggers. The first time I did this was last November, so I figured it was well and truly time to give it another shot. Remember, this list is NOT exhaustive, and is in no particular order. I just think that you should ALL go and read these blogs RIGHT NOW. 
Okay, here goes:
- Knitting with Pencils, by Tracey Baptiste. Tracey just has a way with words that makes them flow off the page and make me want to read more. I’ll be honest, I haven’t read her novel yet, but I really really want to because if reading her blog makes me feel like I’m walking on air, imagine what a whole book would do?
- The Write Fox, by Sarah L Fox. Sarah is someone I can really relate to, and it feels like her experiences often mirror my own. She doesn’t have nearly as many followers as she deserves and I would love it if some of you lovely readers would go check her blog out. It’s definitely worth it.
- Write21, by Justin O’Leary. Again, here is someone who deserves a heck of a lot more followers than he currently has. His blog is an incredible resource for writers and should be bookmarked by everyone who needs a bit of guidance occasionally. And let’s face it, isn’t that all of us?
- Can You all Hear me in the Back?, by Darlene Craviotto. Darlene is primarily a screenwriter rather than a novelist, but since when should that be a problem? We’re all using our creativity to put words on paper and then try to get them out there. Anyway, this is a really intelligent and thought-provoking blog that should be on everyone’s to-read list.
- Devoted Eclectic, by Elizabeth Lhuede. Elizabeth is the driving force behind the Australian Women’s Writers challenge (which reminds me, I’d better sign up for this year’s – and update this blog to reflect that) so her blog is often used to review books as part of that challenge. That said, her reviews are always worth checking out, and her other posts are thought-provoking and stick in your mind for a long time afterwards.
So, that’s my list for this round of blog-hopping. I hope that I have inspired you to go and check out some (or all) of these blogs if you haven’t already – and if you don’t see your name yet, it’s not because I’ve forgotten you. Just keep an eye out for the next blog-hop and you might see yourself then!
I can certainly endorse Write21. It’s deep and educational, and isn’t afraid to question stereotypes.
Justin is really good at that, isn’t he? Definitely a blog worth subscribing to. I was astonished to see how few followers he has, because it should be ten times that. Thanks for seconding my opinion!
Thanks so much, Emily! That’s really kind of you!
Hey, you deserve it. I really enjoy your blog and if this helps up your follower count, then I’ll consider it a job well done.
Just stopped by all the sites and mentioned you highly recommended. I connected with a lot of great sites from your last go around. It’s a great cyber world out there. Thank you for introducing me to some knew sites. Paulette
Thanks Paulette! That was a lovely thing to do. I hope you can get some value from these blogs because I certainly do.
Thanks for your very kind words, Emily! I’m thrilled that you find my blog valuable, and thanks so much for sharing it with others. I already got a visit and a comment from Paulette!
Paulette’s lovely, isn’t she?
But yes, I truly enjoy your blog and I’m thrilled to be able to share it with whoever looks at my blog. You’re most welcome.
Thanks so much for mentioning my blog, Can You All Hear Me In The Back? I appreciate your very kind words, and I am eager to check out the other blogs you gave a thumbs up to.
You’re most welcome, Darlene! I meant every word I said and if I send any extra traffic your way, it’s worth it.
