Pay It Forward Blogfest

It's been a while since I participated in a Blogfest, and when I saw this one, I thought "perfect." I've had so many good things happen for me lately, especially blog buddy support, that I jumped right on the chance to pay it forward.


Pay It Forward Blog Fest is the brain child of Matthew MacNish and Alex J Cavanaugh.

"The idea is to introduce everyone to everyone else. We want this to be an easy post that allows you to meet and follow as many other bloggers as you can. In your post, we would like you to please list, describe, and link to three blogs that you enjoy reading, but that you suspect may fly under the radar of a lot of other bloggers. Or they can be famous blogs, as long as they're awesome."

I know a lot of awesome bloggers, so choosing three is tough. I'm going to pick three who have a low-ish follower count--meaning they're still waiting to be discovered, but are awesome. Here goes.

1)Leigh T Moore at That's Write (okay, her counts aren't low, but you still need to follow her) - because she's super cool, and witty and talented. Her blog is always informative and entertaining, plus she's an awesome freelance editor. And she picked me for her list, which I totally didn't know until I went to her blog to get her link!

2) Liz Reinhardt at Team Unpubbed - she's a fellow indie author, who shares the nitty gritty about her journey. But not only that, she's funny. Go check her out.

3) Fred Lebaron at still seeking allies - Fred's blog is brand new, but he's a librarian and a book reviewer. Plus, he's going to review CLOCKWISE soon. Go follow him!

Okay, I'm off to discovers more cool bloggers!!
