Thank you for the feature.
Of course! I’m happy to, and I look forward to reading more of what you write!
Thanks for sharing me! Again! Really appreciate it.
Hey Graham,
I really love your posts – expect to be shared again. 🙂 In fact, in my last list, I had to pull a link out to something else you wrote and save it for another ‘Great Reading’ post. You’re a great writer, and I hope more people find your writing!
Hey East Bay Writing, I’ve nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award! Your blog has inspired me, and I look forward to reading more. Visit http://millieho.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/the-versatile-blogger-award/ for details.
Thanks!
Hey there! Thank you for mentioning Story Dam here. I appreciate it!
And you are, of course, welcome to participate at any time. There is a lot going on over there, but you can really jump in at any time. If you have any questions whatsoever, Brandi and I are an email away. See our contact page for the emails.
Hope to see you soon!
No problem, Brandon. I signed up for email alerts, and am excited to see how things develop. Best of luck!
Thanks for giving my blog a shout-out! Feel free to stop by the blog and join in this week’s contest — writing a purposely “bad” simile or comparison. And if you’re on Twitter, let me know, and I’ll follow you there. That’s the best way to reach me. I’m @chippermuse.
No thanks needed! I gave some thought to your “bad” simile contest, but my brain wasn’t working well at the time. 🙂 Great idea, though!
