Mystery Writing is Murder
You are such a wonderful fellow blogger. I don't think I've ever come across a blogger who plugs other people so much. You're fantastic!
ReplyDeleteDiane- You're welcome, and you remind me I have been missing your blog...Better get over there!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth- Awww, thx. I always forget the @ sign. I am so amateurish at Twitter!
AA- Thanks! I love supporting other people. I know that sounds cheesy, but I really think that's the point of all this.
Wow, thanks for mentioning my crazy Q post! I really struggled to find a musical Q, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat links, thanks.

Thoughts in Progress
Alex- You're in next week's round up already, too!
ReplyDeleteMason- Yours is one of my favorite blogs, and I don't get by there enough.
Great links Michelle. A few of these are new to me - hopefully I'll get some time later to check them out :)
ReplyDeleteI did the quiz and got your fear - forgetting the clothing! :)
Hey there, thanks for the link love! This was a great post with a lot of wonderful info... thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI got almost 7000 words carved out yesterday in my sequestering! YAY! Thought you'd like a little update. ;)
Have a wonderful Sunday!!
Jemi- I hate that dream. Really hate it. And it's usually in school, too!
ReplyDeleteB- Way to go!
What a neat idea! I feel like I've been on a 'round-the-world go myself -- and my blogroll is the richer for it. Thanks much for the mention, Michele.
ReplyDelete--Elizabeth
Great post. Great roundup! Wow, now I've got leads on a whole slew of new blogs and spots to check out.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I also write mystery, crime, and even paranormal erotic suspense crime romance!
Wow, this is a really cool feature and you definitely put a lot of time into it, Michele. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth- Thanks for the great posts. And glad you enjoyed this one.
ReplyDeleteJL- That's the idea...There are so many wonderful blogs out there! And the roundups aren't always as big as this week's. Oh! Great to know! Now I don't know where to place your blog in my list...mysterious or non-mysterious?
Jackee- Actually, it doesn't take that much time. As I find a cool post throughout the week, I plug it into a post template. Then I hit post on Sunday morning! Tada! Done.
Thanks for the link. :-) I shall have to check out the other sites you've listed. They all sound very interesting...
ReplyDeleteI could spend hours with a list like this. I ended up on the blog of an Icelandic photographer who has incredible photos, including many of the volcanic cloud and the ash-covered land. Thanks for a wonderful tour.
