Thursday Thirteen (TT#23)

Thirteen of my Favorite Bloggers
Rene awarded me a Thinking Blogger award! So let’s share the wealth–here are thirteen blogs that I enjoy for various reasons. Note: I’m deliberately NOT including my normal Thursday Thirteen pals–I’ll dedicate a whole post to you next week! Maybe this will introduce you to some new friends.

1. I’ll start with Rene, who tagged me. Her most impactful recent line: “it’s easy to feel like your writing life has ended when a book is rejected. But having a new project is the best cure.”

2. My Beloved Sis, especially her movie reviews.

3. My very good friend, Anna Black, who always manages to draw insightful conclusions from movies and books.

4. Bailey’s Long and Writing Road, for her heartwrenchingly painful and honest entries about her mother’s battle with Alzheimers, combined with her wonderful reviews and worship of The Shalvis.

5.Barbara Samuel’s A Writer Afoot is like stepping into a lovely painting. I can’t wait to read one of her books.

6. Holly Lisle, for peeks into the day to day grind of writing. Writers, if you haven’t yet, check out the wealth of free articles on her website, or the clinics in her shop. I can personally recommend the Plot Clinic, which I just finished last night.

7. Another of my favorite authors, Patti O’Shea, who battles the Evil Day Job and writes for two publishing houses at the same time.

8.Lynn Viehl, a.k.a. S. L. Viehl, Paperback Writer, for her hilarious Marcia and John posts, her e-book challenge, her generous contests, and her helpful Q/A Fridays. P.S. I finished Night Lost tonight and LOVED IT. I love Gabriel, my favorite Darkyn yet!!

9.Tamara Siler Jones, for her gorgeous quilt pictures, and for surviving all life has thrown at her in the past year, including three new children, a broken wrist, and surgery, while writing the next Dubric book. I especially love the Richard Steinberg quote in her sidebar.

10. Tess Gerritsen, many-time bestselling author, who reminds me that all the same doubts and fears will be there even if the dream does happen.

11. Jen Holling, another working author with a family who still manages to keep it all together.

12. Laurell K. Hamilton, for scaring me when she starts talking about “we” and she means herself and her characters, and I’m not really sure if she remembers they aren’t real people. Which leads me to,

13. Janie, for giving me the idea that Edward should just hurry up and shoot Anita Blake already.

Get the Thursday Thirteen code here! The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

I just read my first Tess Gerritsen last week. Really liked it.

But I have to admit that when I hear things like the worry and stress and all the unpleasantness never go away, I do wonder why I do this. I mean, I can’t stop and still be alive. But … it’s so freaking HARD. Ya know?

I got another Thinking Blogger award today, too. Isn’t it a fun one?

Have a great Thursday!

*snorting laughter at 12/13* Oh, dear, yes. But anyway, great list. Interesting I already read a third of them, but I don’t have thirteen blogs that I check regularly so that’s a higher percentage of the blogs I read, ha. I hate math. Have a great one, Joely!
