Wingding Takeaway Value

I woke up this morning with a lampshade on my head, wondering why my tongue was fuzzy, and what is all that sticky goo on the floor? Yeah. The party is definitely over here at Writer Off the Leash.

But that doesn't mean the fun is! I received a lot of great reader ideas during the event. I've already incorporated one upgrade. Check out the blog roll on the right side of the page. You'll see a new addition. Redemption Draws Near is a blog written with a piratey flair and includes a lot of fun giveaways, so check it out.

Another new addition you'll discover on Thursday, thanks to reader Lis. Stay tuned for that on...uh...Thursday.

And as long as I'm talking about upcoming events, there's only 2 1/2 weeks left until NANOWRIMO (National Novel Writing Month). On November 1, thousands of wannabe authors begin working towards the goal of writing a 50k word novel by November 30th. Any takers out there? I'll be in the sweaty pack of writerly animals straining toward the finish line. I'm not going for the full 50k, though. I just want to finish a manuscript that I'm half-way through. More on that on...uh...Thursday.

During the Blogaversary, I discovered a tool that might come in handy for pretty much anyone out there in cyberland that has a website or a blog. It's called Click to Tweet. All you do is insert the text you'd like made into a tweet, and it generates a URL for you to use. Handy and dandy!

The other tool I had a heap o' fun with was the meme generator. Want to make your own grumpy cat or Willie Wonka snarky posters? Imgflip is the place to go, even if you just want to play around. It's super easy to use and has quite a selection to choose from.

So thanks again, gang, for participating in the Wingding. Until next year and...uh...Thursday.

Haha, the lampshade matches your pajamas. Coffee will help that fuzzy tongue feeling. Have a good day today! And thanks for a fun wingding party. ;)

Drinking my coffee as I read this! It was a great party, Michelle! Thanks for adding my blog to your list. I will be having a great review/giveaway on it soon....MaryLu Tyndall's newest upcoming release Elusive Hope is the subject of that special blog.
I am going to save your suggestions above. I've already checked out the Click to tweet, just haven't used it yet.
Here's to another fabulous year for you and Writer Off The Leash! May the good Lord put wind in yer sails and a give ye smooth sailin'......
Hugs!

I just started following you on Pinterest (didn't know you were on there) and was pleasantly surprised to see all your WIP books! I had no idea. Can't wait for your next post. I really hope your publisher goes ahead with the sequel to A Heart Deceived.
