    You would not BELIEVE the size of my file folder I have preserving all these links you so graciously provide every Friday … well, then again, I guess you COULD believe it, since you are the creator of it, lol. Thanks again, Elizabeth … you got the networking thing down, GF!

    Marvin D Wilson

  2. Carol KilgoreJune 4, 2010

    Wow! Thanks for another round of great links.

  3. Jan MorrisonJune 4, 2010

    Thanks – a delight as always! I’ve already gone fishing…

  4. Clarissa DraperJune 4, 2010

    Thanks for the links. I find many great blogs here. Also, your chicken recipe looks great. I may make it tonight.

  5. L. Diane WolfeJune 4, 2010

    Wow, when do you have time to write? You must be Superwoman.

  6. Adventures in Children's PublishingJune 4, 2010

    Outstanding list! Thanks for putting this together so comprehensively. You truly are the Twitter-Queen. I’m adding this to our weekly roundup. Are you going to be running these on Friday’s now?

    Another one to save to my Favorites. In fact, I need to transfer these links to a Word doc and back it up. I’m especially interested in how to throw an awesome book launch. Thanks again.

  9. Elizabeth Spann Craig/Riley AdamsJune 4, 2010

    The Old Silly—I know it’s a big folder! And there’s more to come, too.

    Jan–Have fun with it! :)

    Clarissa–Thanks! Yes, that chicken recipe is really easy. And I keep all the ingredients on hand for a night when I just don’t have any time to cook.

    Diane–Oh, I wish I WERE Superwoman! Always liked her invisible jet. :) I squeeze the writing into different times, but it’s a challenge every day.

    Adventures in Children’s Publishing–Knowing when to expect it would be good, wouldn’t it! I’ve been playing around with the days I’m posting it. It always gets the biggest number of hits a week, so I want to make sure I have it on a good day. Haven’t figured out which day is best yet, but I’m thinking either Friday or Saturday. I’d put it on Sunday, but now I’m leaning away from it a little. More info than you wanted to know! :) I’m rambling today.

    Alex–Have fun. :)

    Carol–Thanks for coming by!

    Stephen–Yes, that was a good article by Moonrat–the anonymous editorial assistant. :)

  10. cassandrajadeJune 5, 2010

  11. Elizabeth Spann Craig/Riley AdamsJune 5, 2010
