Hello Fellow Blogger Addicts!

I'm keeping today short and sweet.

I finally feel myself again. Querying has opened up time for outlining and BLOGGING!

I want to let you all know I heart you! Hello to all my new followers, and to all my old! You mean the world to me! Without you I wouldn't be having near as much fun!

Though the summer is coming to a close I'm excited at all the future possiblities. I can't wait to see the fall books hit the shelves, the authors who start querying, those who snag agents, and those who get a publishing date!!!

Your journey's are just as exciting as the one's I am currently diving into. I love how supportive everyone is in the writing world and each day you stop in and comment it warms the heart!

What's your favorite thing about blogging?? What process of writing are you in? Are you sad or excited that summer is coming to a close?

My favourite thing about blogging? The new friends I've made :-)

I'm excited that Autumn is nearly here. It's my favourite time of year and I've got new energy for my writing. Finally.

Claire Goverts said...

That's good that you feel like yourself again.

With my writing I keep debating between revising my first draft novels and doing some short story writing to exercise my Muse. As much fun as summer can be I'm looking forward to regular day job hours and getting back into writing and blogging routines.

That is something I love about blogging, even though I took a break for awhile the community makes it easy to get back into the swing of things.

I'm sad that summer is ending. I love fall, but I hate that winter follows fall!

Becky Mahoney said...

I absolutely love the feeling of community here. I've done writing workshops and such before, but I was never able to build up the kind of camaraderie with those writers that I have with everyone here. I've become so invested in everyone's successes, and I can't wait to read their books!

I'm sad to see the summer end but I love autumn. It's the best time for curling up in front of a roaring log fire with a good book - i.e. being lazy. ;)

What I love most about blogging is all the great people I meet.

Jillian said...

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

Our summer is still raging hotter than hades in Arizona. But that's okay....fall is coming soon and it'll soon be cool enough to enjoy our patios again. We have to pack them up for the summer.

I love blogging because I get to meet so many new people. It's fun to talk about movies, music, writing, etc....

Process of writing? Well, my debut novel just released, so I'm riding that wave of excitement all month long. BUT....I'm also editing book #2 for my debut novel, so I'm keeping busy. :) Woot!!!

Write on my friends! Write on!!!!

I am also sad to see summer's end, but like others have said Fall means more time for writing. It is my favorite time to write.

I enjoy blogging because I get to meet so many interesting people and read so many different points of view than my own.
I enjoy being able to connect with so many cool and interesting people and reading what they have to say.

Krista said...

I love blogging because I can connect with people AND be a hermit at the same time. Love it!

Right now I am getting ready to query one novel - and doing world building for another one. The new one is intended to be part of a series which I have never done before.

Glad you are back!

Carolyn V said...

I love fall, so I'm a little excited to see summer end.

I can't wait to see who gets agents too. It's so awesome!

Janet Johnson said...

I actually think I'm ready for summer to end. Cooler days. Soccer games. Fall colors. I'll take it!

As for blogging, I love the connections I've been able to make. Writing was pretty lonely before.

Laura S. said...

Summer is my favorite season, so I feel sad when it passes. But it'll come again! I do enjoy autumn a lot. I love Halloween and carving pumpkins and the orange leaves and my birthday and pumpkin pie and apple cider and warm sweaters!

But there's still 3 weeks of official summer remaining, so I'm going to enjoy it!

M.J. Fifield said...

I do love the summer but I think I am looking forward to fall. I tend to be more productive this time of year and had a very unproductive and discouraging summer.

Glad to read that you're feeling better!

Shannon O'Donnell said...

My mostest favoritest thing about blogging is the awesome friendships! No question. And I'm kinda sad that summer is ending, but Fall is my favorite season. :-)

Karen Baldwin said...

I blog to clear my head and to save my cat and carpet. My talking aloud makes her huck up fur balls. So, when I blog about what I think, she's happy and my world (or at least my apartment) is clean.

Mary@GigglesandGuns said...

I always hate to see summer end because shoveling is not far off. Grrr
Best part of blogging: Comments on my posts make me laugh!

Happy Weekend!

Marsha Sigman said...

The heat is killing us here so...I won't be sorry to see summer go.

I love interacting with other writers, that's the best part of blogging. But don't tell anyone...it will kill my street cred. Oh, wait. I don't have any.

Donna Shields said...

My fave about blogging is meeting new people and reading some interesting blogs.
Right now, I'm about to submit one book, am working on a new one, and am waiting for one to be released in November.
I'll just be glad for the cooler weather. It's been too hot.

alexia said...

My favorite thing abot blogging is making friends with people that share your experience. As for writing, I am working on a first draft, and also need to be querying again for my first book.

Anonymous said...

I have to say that I'm happy that Summer is coming to an end. I prefer the cooler days and night of Fall.

Christa Desir said...

I love blogging for all the great bloggers I've met...Jen, you rock. Just so you know.

BECKY said...

Hey Jen! I heart you, too! I'm happy to see summer ending, especially since it's been dreadfully hot this year. Fall is my favorite season, too. I do feel a new awakening with it, although that seems kind of opposite, doesn't it? As in spring should be the awakening time. I guess it just matters on who you are!
Hugs to you!

'I can't wait to see the fall books hit the shelves, the authors who start querying, those who snag agents, and those who get a publishing date!!!'

That sounds really hopeful and enthusiastic. I like it. :)

Arlee Bird said...

The networking and education are my favorite aspects of blogging. I just wish it weren't so time-consuming.

I'm looking forward to cooler weather, although it really hasn't been all that hot in L.A. this summer. We've been more fortunate than the rest of the U.S.

Who are you calling old? ~_^ (teehee). I'm actually glad to be moving on to autumn...and routine.

Lindsay N. Currie said...

Hmmm, well you know pretty much everything about me. I love blogging because I love the connections I make. I love meeting other writers and the camaraderie that entails. I love planning my posts and responding to comments. I love it all:)

I'm ready for fall, but so sad to see my kids go back to school. I miss them already LOL.
