Move Over Eleanor of Aquitaine.





I have taken the plunge and joined  Rachael Harrie's Second Writers' Platform Building Crusade. What about you?  Have you signed up yet?  I am so excited at the prospect of meeting new writers and gleening all your wonderful Platform building tips!

I'm signed up too but I am so nervous! I am getting ready to put in an app for a new job and getting my resume ready... yikes!!

Hey Crusader!

You came to my blog (through my profile which is messed up. Sorry about that).

Try this link instead http://www.whimsywritingandreading.weebly.com

I'm doing the A to Z challenge too. I think it should be fun, if I really committ myself to blogging each day--tough to do. But I'm gonna give it a go.

Nice to meet you.

Ann said...

Well to all my new fellow Crusaders. I am looking forward to this challenge. I am a bit of an eejit though, because I totally forgot it would overlap with the A-Z Challenge. HeyHo! Nothing like biting off more than I can chew.

Hi Talli, did you have a gander Oh published Authour you!!!

Hi Nicole, I now have your "Arrival" on my spanking new kindle along with Talli's "The Hating Game"

Hi Kitty, You are too kind. I am feeling a bit weak at the knees to be honest!

Ann said...

Opps first word should read Welcome! See what I mean a right eejit!

Hi,
I found your blog from Rach Writes Crusade. It's been amazing to see how many of us writers are out there.
Cute blog.:)
Anyhow, thought I'd stop by and say hello. My blog is www.idevourkidbooks.blogspot.com

Anne, What a lovely image you have at the top of your blog! I'm a fellow crusader and was just dropping in to say, Hi.

Hi Ann, just left an award for you over at my blog - you deserve it! Hope you enjoy doing it, and give you another creative or memoir outlet! this challenge sounds interesting - if there wasnt a general election going on here I'd be busy. I've been on the stump for Ciara a few days last week and everyone is very positive.
So maybe it's time for new faces - women's! -in the Dáil!
Hope you're better,
Catherine

LOVE that picture! I haven't joined up--I've been so out of the loop with blogging, I think I might just slowly ease back in, you know? Because I'm so behind.

But I did miss you and your blog muchos, Ann!!!
