This is the first of a recurring column. It will be used to thank my fellow bloggers, followers and guests for their support. It will also be used to recognize their achievements and to highlight some of the comments we exchange. As the title suggests, this is an opportunity to issue honorable mentions. I would be terribly remiss if the first honorable mention did not go to
Rachael Harrie who organizes and manages the Writer's Platform-Building Campaign. Thank you Rachael. I think everything that needs to be said probably has been said already. You are an amazing person and you deserve all the credit in the world for organizing such a successful event that impacts so many authors.
I want to thank
Ruth Schiffmann for nominating my blog for the Liebster Award. Thank you Ruth! Because of the buggy Blogger platform, I couldn't post a comment on her blog to thank her. I apologize, Ruth. I just checked and still can't post!
I want to thank Christy Farmer for being the very first follower to leave a comment on my blog and for being so supportive of a fellow campaigner. Thanks also, Christy, for including my blog on your
Links I Love Page.
I want to thank
Ishta Mercurio for taking the time for our excellent discussion on the changes coming to the
publishing industry.
This is such a cool post idea! It's an amazing feeling when someone follows your blog, and when someone comments? Totally awesome :) I'm a new follower, and sending you happy writing vibes!
ReplyDeleteHi Gary, I agree about Rachael, what she has done with the Write Campaign is pure genius and she is an amazing person!
ReplyDeleteI am flattered to be the first follower to leave a comment. The reason I was updating my "links I love" page is because I was adding winners from the "Versatile Bloggers Awards". See my blog for details and Congratulations!
Hi Gary! I agree, Rachael is great. I can't even imagine how much work she puts into organizing the campaign.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the honorable mention. I am just loving meeting so many great people and reading such a wide variety of blogs. My world is truly expanding. How exciting!
I have heard from a few others who had trouble commenting on my blog. I wish I could offer some advice.
All best with the campaign and with your novel!
Hi, Gary - it's good to meet you, thanks for visiting my blog earlier.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your first novel - a very exciting time! I look forward to reading more of your blog posts.
Wasn't that a great campaign challenge. It's so nice of Rachel to do that. I mentioned her link on my post today, too. I also left you an award. Stop by and pick it up.
ReplyDeleteHey from a fellowess campaigner. You got to my blog first so I came to follow you too. Thanking the people who help you and doing the same for them speaks volumes about your character. Rachael has done more for all of us than I could possibly imagine or ever repay. Yea for Rachael!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Varadan and Christy Farmer each nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award. Thanks to both Christy and Elizabeth for sharing this honor with me. Both of you are great Campaigners and I am very appreciative of your friendship.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting Sher. I'm happy to welcome a fellow Campaigner. Thank your for the kind words. Sher's blog is called Fantasy Writer's Fancies.
ReplyDeleteHey Gary! I'm glad you like the idea of the blogfest, it's going to be a lot of fun. Definitely pop by and participate if you can :) Your blog is pretty awesome. Can't wait to see what else you put up!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I finally found your blog! I'm a fellow campaigner as well, but somehow couldn't locate your blog.
