I'm probably going to be changing the address of my blog soon, but the name will remain the same: Solelyfictional.

Except, well, it's not. Solely fictional. Aside from the fact that obviously most of it's factual, there's also a good proportion of what I call Canon Fodder in there. I regularly post historical recipes (the last two months have been Victorian Ice-Creams - so easy to make! And so alcoholic!), links to interesting news articles, and anything else I think people might find inspiring. My own submissions are documented too, and anything writing-related within my life (conferences, writing holidays, etc).

Anyway, I'd love to get some more chatter and feedback, so if anyone wants to drop by that'd be great

My blog is www.impactingjourney.com. It's a comical exploration of my life as a single mom, a writer and incurable daydreamer. I write about everything from the tragedy of losing my husband to why it's a good idea to bite your toenails. You just never know what discussions might come up...


I do invite you to stop by and make yourself at home. I do love making new friends!

My blog was originally started to keep me sane in the weird world of university. The writing quality has since improved, and I like to think the bits of my life that I write about have become more interesting.

So, I decided to join the cool crowd and fix up a blog! It's basically going to be a place to record my progress and what I've learned through this whole process. I think. That's what it is now, anyway. lol

Just recently started this blog, and am working to balance frequent posting with leaving time for previous posts to sink in.

It's partially a writing blog, and partially about things in writing that interest me. Be prepared to be referred to a lot of other great blogs.Atsiko's Chimney

Feel free to read comment and click some links. Or not.

Adding mine to the list.

D.A. Confidential.

I'm a felony prosecutor in Austin, Texas, and so my blog is about the workings of our office, the cases we handle, and criminal law and crime generally. I'll use it to push my novel (once it's published!) which is a thriller.

I've got a new blog. I broke it down into different categories so people can pick and choose what they want to read. Although, I think the entire site is fascinating

It's all about writing, kids, and husbands, written in a dry humor I never knew I had! LOL

I'm adding my blog to the list. I write about writing (what else?), graduate school, raising four kids--3 of whom were adopted from China as special needs kids, and just the general messiness of life.

Stop by and check it out! The link is in my signature.

I just started a new blog—about writing, of course, and my recent success in finding an agent and a publisher—but I will also blog about other random topics as my dizzy brain sees fit. Link is in my signature.

Throwing my hat in with the rest. Mine is primarily about writing, mostly flash fiction currently but I've got some earmarks / placekeepers / occasional excerpts from my 2 WIP's as well. When NaNoWriMo starts in a few days, I'll probably have a lot to say about that.

Blog is in my siggy.

Thumbs up Weight Loss and Fashion and Writing - Oh My!

Hello Absolute Write Members!

My name is Melanie and I have started my wonderful blog on Blogger. Come and visit, I have a whole smorgasboard of stuff on there!

Some of the stuff that you will find on my "Two Years and Counting" blog are of personal interest, which is anything girlie girl. I love make-up, accessories, fashion, and celebrity. I am reviewing some of my newly obtained products and sharing some wish list stuff.

Why am I advertising my girlieness here on Absolute Write? Well, because writing is something I enjoy doing too. I wrote a book that will forever be unpublished. Sad! But I still want to share it with friends. It is chick lit, so if that is your thing, you may find my book interesting. I am planning on releasing it on my blog shortly.

I am also blogging about other things that I want to accomplish before I turn 30 in September of 2012, like losing weight the equivalent of a 10-year-old, writing another book (and hopefully publishing!), and getting out of my abyss that is my credit card debt. My journey has just started, so it should be fun to be able to start from the beginning and see if my goals are met in two years.

Come join me at http://thetwenty-eighthyear.blogspot.com

Oh, what a fun sharing thread

Here's my blog: http://romimoondi.wordpress.com It's general humorous musings and flashbacks themed around my Indian upbringing in Canada...

In 2008 I wrote THIS blog http://romi41.wordpress.com (Year of the Chick), which ended up being the inspiration for my novel that is currently being queried. So I support blogging, in other words

It also looks like there's lots of reading material on this thread whenever I need it !

Toodles

Hi Everyone!

I'm writing a blog that varies in subject but typically returns to my effort of getting my novel an agent (I'm not even thinking published at this point).

The novel is urban fantasy. So any fantasy lovers out there... horror/slasher story lovers out there... zombies... whatever... stop by.

http://abigailschmidt.blogspot.com/

I update regularly.

Cheers,
Abby
