Shout Out


Well Yay, I have reached the 203 followers mark,
which is fabulous! 
THANK YOU to all my followers
(those of you who have recently joined and those who have been following for longer).
I shall have to think up a suitable GIVEAWAY to celebrate.
In the meantime please accept this award.

Just a reminder:
Check out the Trilogy Contest

There's also a fab Giveaway at Unedited



There's a fun blogfest hosted by Frankie

You can read my entry by clicking on the link to get your pulses racing!








My Now Showing Blogfest is still open.


I thought this would make a fun, easy blogfest to start off 2011

The linkey will close on Friday 14th January 2011
You can post your entry any time between now and then.


To start the ball rolling I have composed my description of someone:
1.Dominic 4.Words Crafter/ Becky 7.Heather
2.Damyanti@ Amlokiblogs 5.Ellie Garratt
3.Nicole Ducleroir 6.Donea Lee



I have also devised a Flowing Fonts Blogfest
Your challenge is to write a flash fiction of 500 words that includes names of the various fonts in your piece. Make the language flow smoothly as your font characters and objects unfold.
E.G. your protagonist Bradley Hand might come across a Book Antiqua. What happens next? I wonder who can include the most font names and still come up with an effective piece?


LINKEY UP FEB 2011 There will also be a prize for the winning entry to celebrate my 200 followers mark. You must of course be a follower to be eligible.

  6. Bless you all. I've had a frustrating computer glitching day today and it looks as though the offending machine (not this one)needs to go in for repair. Aaargh! I have an order to complete and cannot do it without *that* machine. Much teeth gnashing ensues! Hope you are having a frustration free day. :O)

  8. 200+ followers - you are a star!

    How is Write 1 Sub 1 going? I noticed you've completed week one's challenge. Yay! I started small by writing and then subbing a piece of flash fiction. Afterwards I realised the last time a subbed something was the 19th November! Yikes.

  14. Hi Madeleine,
    Hearty congratulations on passing the 200 mark in 'followers'. I hate that word 'followers'. I've been blogging for almost 4 years, I know, I should get some sleep, and it took 3 1/2 years just to reach the 100 mark.
    So, very well done. May you find much happiness in all your writing endeavours.
    With respect and kindness, Gary :-)

  21. 200 + followers - that's great! Count me in as a new one and love the blogfest idea! My writing has been accused once or twice of being too "tell", so this will be a great exercise for me. I'll post my entry on Wednesday. :)
