A Call to Bloggers

I'm in a blogging rut. I'm not even reading blogs anymore, let alone writing one. Well, just not the same ones anyway. I'm crafted out and need a break from looking at new things to make, because they're just not going to get made anytime soon. 


Actually, I'm kindof in a book writing mode lately, and I'm crazy enough to be shopping something around in search of an agent. I don't believe I just typed that sentence. Who knows what it will amount to? I know it's a slow process and I'm a nobody from Nowheresville (well, not NObody, but in the literary world, yes). And...it's not a book about vampires or supernatural beings, so who knows if it will be picked up. I enjoy new projects, though. 

Meanwhile, I'm looking for new and interesting blogs to read. I'd love to see YOURS! Maybe you could send me your link and include a link or two to YOUR favorite blogs as well. I like blogs by artists, writers, and anyone who is just plain funny. I'm just tired of passing through the same places. 

I'm also tired of Facebook...but that's another post.

I just tried this on my blog this week too! Not many of my readers offered suggestions, although I did tell them I already had enough parenting, book review, frugal living blogs, and that apparently is what my readers read too. My blog is http://infantbibliophile.blogspot.com. You can see which blogs I enjoy by skimming for the "award" posts I have done, but here are a few great ones:
notimeforflashcards.com
phinparenting.com
unplugyourkids.com

Oh, I found a really funny blog this week, and the author is a writer too, so you might enjoy that one. Let me find it... ah, here it is (and one of the posts that had my laughing out loud): http://pancakesandfrenchfries.com/2009/03/hanging-the-shingle/

I could name sites forever; I am seriously addicted to my Google reader.

I'd love to write a book someday, so I hope you blog about how your quest to publish goes.

I'd love for you to drop by my blog and let me know what you think.

Here's a funny parenting blog:

It probably won't interest you, but this is my silly little blog...and don't feel bad because my posts are in general pretty far in between. lol, I'm like in a permanent recurring blogging rut. But alas...

Okay, I came here from Nathan's blog. I know where you are coming from re the blogger's block. We all go through it. Come and visit me and see if some Scottish/British humour gives you another angle. You write very well so keep at it, you'll get there.
