Hello all! Hope your weekends were fantastico. A few posts around the bloggy world this morning caught my eye, and so I now share them with you. That’s what friends are for.

First up: Liz Strauss over at Successful Bloggers is really passing out the link love by hosting the Blog To Show festival. Over 260 blogs, including little ol’ me, are gathered in one place to explore and subscribe to. To all of you who came here through Liz’s link: Welcome! Check out this page for more info on this here blog, and this post for a greatest hits selection. Oh, and don’t forget to check out the craze sweeping the nation (or, my office): Word Porn.

PoeWar has some nice thoughts on ways we writers punch ourselves in the gut with negative thinking: Awfulizing and Negativising.

Sonia Simone offers all of us less-than-consistent folks some hope by calling us flakes. And that’s OK. Great post here.

That’s it for now. Tune in tomorrow for another freelancing case study, later this week for some creative Q&A, and Friday for the one, the only, Word Porn.
