Is it just me...?

...or was my handbag smiling at me?

Or maybe all this writing I'm doing is blurring the lines between reality and imagination. (I love when that happens!)

Anyhow, I wanted to ask anyone stopping by to help me welcome two awesome writers to the blog-o-sphere. Even though I haven't met either face-to-face (yet!), Mara, Adriana and I have been friends for the past couple years, enjoying each other's fiction and supporting each other as we hone our crafts.  They are wildly talented writers and all-around great people, and I know you'll love them too!

Mara McBain's blog is Mara's Musings
and
Adriana Noir's blog is  ~*Ink in Faded Hues*~

Pop over and say hello (...and why not follow...? :D)

Hope your week is off to an inspired start!  On this week's To-Do list I've got reading/critiquing Jess's chapters, working on chapter seven of my WiP, and writing a short story entry for the contest of which I'm a finalist.  What are your goals this week?

I love the smiley handbag! You just need to name him/her now. Yeah, I'm weird enough to name inanimate objects. :)

Thanks for the links, I'll certainly check out your friends' blogs!

Southpaw said...

My goal is to make it to Friday. And yes, yes that bag was smiling at you.

Lisa Miles said...

Thanks for the links!

Sandy said...

Your handbag is absolutely adorable. :)

My goal is much less writing-oriented and more, omg, I have to pass my two exams. And I'll be popping over to Mara's and Adriana's blogs! Thanks for the links.

Hannah said...

I plan on working on the novel some more, outlining for nano and trying hard not to kill anyone at my day job.

I will head over to the new blogs now! Yay!

Any friends of yours.......

No writing goals this week because I don't believe my job is going to allow much free-time. :(

Mara McBain said...

Thank you for the warm welcome and shout out Nicki! *hugs*

Little Ms J said...

the purse reminds me of some commercial that used objects to show smiles and frowns. my goals this week are simple - work on my sequel.

Love seeing little smiles in unsuspected places!

Lola Sharp said...

Smiling handbag indeed! :)

I'm still in revision hell. *slog* *trudge* My goal is to finish this round by Oct. 31st...which is fairly impossible. But shooting for it is better than not. :)

Give Summer a BIG Lola hug for me!!

I'm smiling at you just like your purse. :)
Love,
Lola

Goals: Go to work, wake up properly, and work on my outline. Hopefully not in that order.

Your handbag IS smiling at you!

Jessica Bell said...

On it! My goal is not to set myself any. They just screw me up!

Crystal said...

What a great bag!

Going to say hello :)

My goals. To nail down some serious words in an outline. A tentative title. Work out nano stuff that I'm super confused on. Girl Scouts. Homemade German Mac & Cheese. Something for fridayflash. Ponder over the comment left for me that said they thought I write children's lit. Uhm. Most of that's just for the next three hours.

Probably not quite what you meant, huh?

-grin-

LTM said...

writing writing writing, and so far I'm struggling to stick to them. :D I think your purse is smiling, btw...

Kristin Rae said...

It's definitely smiling at you (probably laughing for spending so much money on it! ;).

Thanks for the new blogs to follow :)
