Recently, I was gifted two blog awards by fellow writers and I want to acknowledge them in their kindness.
Both of these blogs are deserving of your perusal so I hope you'll take the time to check them out. I want to give a big shout out of thanks for their generosity and support.
I'm going to modify the requirements a little-- you know healthcare people never follow directions too well as my current physical therapist has been griping to me about-- yes that pesky shoulder dislocation. Instead, I'll share some of the blogs I regularly visit that I think are definitely go to sources for other writers. And then I'll share some fun facts about me!
Blogs:
1. The WordServe Water Cooler: I'm a little biased here as I do administrate this blog but it is a group of agented authors sharing their wisdom and advice to those a little further back on the publishing road. These authors are amazing people-- and so is their writing. Recently mentioned on WritersDigest.com!
2. Michael Hyatt: This should be standard reading for all writers everywhere. Michael blogs on several topics ranging from social media to leadership.
3. Novel Rocket: Again, standard reading for novelists. Author interviews from debut to bestseller and everything in between. I mean, it was started by an RN so how could it not be good!
4. Suspense Novelist: Musings from the writing world.
5. Mike Dellosso: Mike's a suspense novelist and all around great guy. Wears his heart on his sleeve and blogs the same.
Five things about me:
1. I recently bet my personal trainer that I would cut out caffeine and diet pop if he would keep getting his six-month-old immunized. That's what I'll do for a child and if you knew how much I liked those two things you'd be amazed!
2. I am a little cranky about having done the above-- but do feel better.
3. Favorite shows: Biggest Loser (which I often eat ice cream in front of), Flashpoint (though not for its medical accuracy by any means) and Castle (love him!).
4. Favorite authors: Dean Koontz hands down. Though I have recently discovered Harlen Coban, Linwood Barclay and Karin Slaughter (who has the best suspense novelist name of all time) and am loving their books.
5. I cross stitch and quilt-- when not mothering, working, reading, blogging and writing fiction.
How about you? What's one interesting thing I should know? Leave a comment!
Now back to business...
This Week:
Monday: Rob Harris guest blogs about caregiving and the real life drama of almost losing his wife.
Wednesday: Rob Harris concludes about caregiving. It really is a sweet story. No Valentine's tears.
Friday: Author Beware. My favorite posts to write where I examine a published work of fiction and the medical error in the ms. This post deals with unsecured narcotics.
Hope everyone has a great week and a fun Valentine's Day.

That was a fun post. Id share something interesting, if I had something to share;)
ReplyDeleteSo fun to learn a few things about you! Being in health care myself, I was particularly impressed (and grateful) for #1 on your list!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing some wonderful blogs. Looking forward to checking them out.
Harlen Coban is indeed an excellent author--awesome story teller!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you're in PT. I can't praise physical therapy enough. 12 years ago I couldn't lift my arm above my shoulder (brachial neuritis) and 9 months of PT had me kissing the paralysis good-bye. PT can be painful, time consuming, a nuisance... but don't give up.
Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks all for the comments. Mart, I think you'd have some very interesting things to share.
ReplyDeleteCarrie-- I do think it has made a difference though I hate saying it.
Elaine-- I am a big believer in PT. Definitely worth it compared to having surgery-- that for sure. The shoulder is about 75% back. Just need to get it to 100%. I'm glad your paralysis is all gone. Praise, God!
