- Melissa Sugar of Have You Heard? is hosting the Get Fired Up Blogfest with spectacular prizes, all in the hope of motivating bloggers to support other bloggers. How righteous is that? Sign-ups run until the end of the month.
- Chantele Sedgwick is nearing the 500 followers mark and is celebrating with a giveaway! The prizes are all sorts of incredible. The giveaway ends Friday.
- I just had the opportunity to beta read Deana Barnhart's WIP, and dang, it was good. I'm blown away by the mass amount of talent floating around the blogosphere.
- Want proof of this mind-blowing talent? Melodie Wright landed an agent! WA-HOO! You can read how she did it here.
- In preparation for the Is It Getting Hot In Here? Blog Hop I've been reviewing kissing scenes I wrote and then removed from my YA WIPs for being too... let's just say HOT. I won't share them, but they definitely put me in the mood for Valentine's Day. ; D

I heard Google is making a bunch of changes this week and it's messing with the system. All the bugs should be ironed out by next week.
If not, kick Google's butt, Alex!
