Bits from Other (Better) Blogs
There's so much good stuff to be found in the blogosphere these days, all of it worth reading. Instead of sending you hither and thither, looking far and wide across the vast internets in search of this goldmine, I sacrificed part of my morning tracking down the creme de la creme of what's available. Do I do this with complaint or expectation of compensation? Nay, I do it for the sheer love of you, my readers. Enjoy:
- If you haven't checked out the serial romance at Confessions of a Pioneer Woman, you are SORELY missing out. The lovely Ree regularly posts new installments of "From Black Heels to Tractor Wheels: A Love Story," the tale of her early romance with her husband, Marlboro Man. You'll want to turn off the phone and get something ice-cold to drink before you dive in. (Find links to the entire story here.)
- In a similar vein, Alyssa over at 10019 Musings has recently begun posting the gut-wrenching saga of her ill-fated marriage. Each chapter is beautifully written, each word carefully chosen. It's clear that this is a story she's wanted to tell for a long time.
- Okay, okay: one more serial plug. Holly at Nothing But Bonfires has been blogging to the tune of Maggie's "make your own timeline" advice, with lovely results. Ages eleven, twelve, and thirteen-- her boarding school years-- are particularly poignant.
- Of course, you've got to check out Tiffany of the Would-Be Writers' Guild. Her blog posts are always wicked smart and terribly funny. Among my favorites are her Home Office Staff Meeting minutes. That's one funny lady!
- Pay attention when Schnozz posts. Her razor-sharp wit and deadpan humor put me in stitches without fail. Not only is she funny and smart, but reading her entries about roller derby give you the sense that she could totally kick your ass.
- Finally, if you're looking for a guilty pleasure, be sure to pay a visit to Whoorl. Her Hair Thursday installments, along with her Hair How-To's are not to be missed. Be sure to check out the video of her curling her hair, set to The Pixies.
