Pay Back

I am so horrible at blog awards, so I am doing a hybrid, I won’t pass on the award because I know some people prefer not to participate. I’ll list those wonderful bogs that inspire me, give me hope, and offer priceless advice or just an awesome read.


Really, if you want a great follower and a fantastic blogger to meet, just follow the links I’ll leave. They all rock and make me feel special; they make the world a better place: and me a better writer. They don’t appear in any order, they all have a place in my heart. Thx for all you do for me! If you can, let them know you're comeing from my blog, so they'll know I care.

The other side of the story : Probably the single biggest factor in my development as a writer… her advice is priceless; her blog is full of awesome advice put in a way you can understand, so you can put into action! I highly recommend you follow her and read all of her post—new and old!

  38. Oh, where to begin...

    First, CONGRATS, Jeff, on your well deserved awards!

    Second, SORRY I am SO DAMN LATE to this post! (only 6 months or so. *blushes*) THANK YOU. I am honored and grateful. You're so sweet. *hugs*

    Which brings me to...

    I haven't been a very steady/good blogger lately. Since this post I've been busy traveling, doing the holidays (which we do big here. Lola's World is festive and sparkly and company-filled...which is a lot of time-consuming work.) Then the taking down of the holidays. Then mid-January I started a new WIP, and have been holed-up in my cave ever since. I haven't visited blogs and maybe only put up a post once or twice a month.

    And yet...

    The last few months I've been wondering where you've been and how you are. The lack of Jeff in my bloggy world has been noticed and missed.
    Thus, I finally turned my internet on and stopped over here.
    And, apparently you've been (almost) as MIA as I have.
    But, while my lack of blogging has been just happy busy stuff, I am not sure yours is, and I'm concerned.

    I hope you are okay, happy, healthy.

    Hugs,
    Lola
