Well, folks … here it is Sun’s Day again, and I’m even farther behind than ever! Seems like “the hurrier I go, the behinder I get,” as the old saying goes. Once again, I didn’t have time to read all my favorite blogs this week, though I’ve been trying to stop by long enough to Like and Share, when possible. SE gang, I promise to catch up SOON, because your posts this week look amazing, and I want to see what they’re all about. Sally, I plan to scroll through your roundup later today, when I’m on a break from painting (walls and fences). But I have NO problem at all sharing these links so others will be reminded to stop by, because it’s a given that everything listed below will be well worth checking out. With that in mind, here we go:
MONDAY: D. Wallace Peach starts the week off with what I’m sure is another very helpful post entitled Crafting Rich Characters Part 4. Since characters are the most important element in any book I read (or write), I can’t wait to read Diana’s post. You can check it out HERE.
WEDNESDAY: Jan Sikes offers the next installment in her excellent series on marketing, entitled MKTG #13 – BookBub Ads. I’ve been planning to do something about my poor marketing this year, and this entire series has been a big help. I’m really going to enjoy learning more about BookBub, and you can check her post out HERE.
FRIDAY: Craig Boyack wraps up the week with a topic that struck a nerve with me, and immediately, I had to take a minute away from putting this reblog together to read it. It’s entitled Modern Day Censorship and you owe it to yourself to read both his post and all of the comments beneath, as well. This is something everyone should be concerned about, especially we writers and other artists. Check it out HERE.
And as always, Sally’s Weekly Roundup Post is absolutely filled to the max with wonderfully varied entertaining and informative posts. Don’t miss out!

And there you have this week’s #Twofer recap!
Happy Reading!
Once again, it’s time for a look at what’s been going on over at Story Empire and at Sally Cronin’s Smorgasbord blog. As always, great stuff at both places. Read on to learn more!
Another busy week on Story Empire. Don’t believe me? Just check these out and you’ll see what I mean!
MONDAY: For those of you who aren’t already familiar with those little surprise nuggets called Easter Eggs, Craig Boyack starts out the week with a fun and very enlightening post on how writers can use them to amuse their readers. Even if you already understand the concept, you really should check out Easter Eggs HERE.
WEDNESDAY: Harmony Kent’s mid-week offering is a recap and wrap-up of her wonderful series on Points of View. You really want to take a look at this one, trust me. Check out How to Write Point of View, Part 11, Summary and Wrap-up HERE.
FRIDAY: D. L. Finn brings the week to a close with a fantastic post offering inspirational quotes that every writer should read. You’ll love them as much as I did, I’m sure. Check out Writing Quotes to Inspire HERE.
And just when you think it couldn’t get any better over on Sally’s Smorgasbord Blog, along comes another weekly roundup post to prove you wrong!
Check out Sally’s Smorgasbord Magazine Weekly RoundUp HERE.
Happy Reading Everyone!
A most remarkable thing happened on Thursday.
For those who weren’t aware (like me), Thursday was the official
International Day of Awesomeness.
While I may have been oblivious about this day,
the good folks over at Story Empire were not!
Nope. These wonderfully talented and sharing authors decided to celebrate the day in grand style by letting the world know exactly who they thought deserved to be honored in all her awesomeness:
Now, I can’t speak for everyone, but I suspect that most of us who spend a lot of time blogging and/or writing are very familiar with Sally and her fabulous Smorgasbord blog, and have probably been the beneficiaries of her support and encouragement many times. I know I certainly have! And if you missed out on all of these great tributes to this lovely lady, I do hope you’ll stop by her blog to read her post about how she spent her Thursday, and what it meant to her.
You can read Sally’s post (and find links to each Story Empire post) HERE.
Sally, I hope you continue to feel the love for a long, long time. You deserve it my friend! And as always, never forget YOU ROCK!
Another week, another chance to share two of my favorite blogs! Both #StoryEmpire and Sally Cronin’s Smorgasbord Blog Magazine had super posts this week. Just take a look and see what I mean!
MONDAY: Jan Sikes gets the week off to a great start with a post entitled MKTG #11 – Amazon A+ Content. This is something I’ve been looking at doing, so I was very happy to learn more about it. Check out Jan’s post HERE.
WEDNESDAY: Craig Boyack gives us a thought-provoking mid-week post entitled Lather, Rinse, Repeat. This one really got me thinking, and you can check it out HERE.
FRIDAY: And Harmony Kent wraps up the week with a great post entitled How to Write POV Part 10, Choosing Tense and POV. This one is very helpful for those of us who want to be sure we understand the correct way to use both of these. Check it out HERE.
As always, Sally’s Smorgasbord Weekly Round Up post is jam-packed with everything under the sun. Be it recipes, music, health, funny videos, or author promos, it’s there waiting for your entertainment and education. Don’t miss out!
