One More Day

The blog fest is up to 175 people! I'm sure Alex hosts things with more blogs than that all the time, but I never do blogfests, so I'm a amazed, and maybe, just a little, overwhelmed.

It would be cool to see the list reach 200 blogs, but I think we're approaching saturation levels, so I don't think that's likely. I've got a lot of writing and critiquing to get done today, so I'm just going to say:

Thanks everyone for taking part in this! I really look forward to visiting all your blogs tomorrow and over the weekend, and meeting tons of great new people.

Have a great Thursday! See the post below this one if you have no idea what I'm talking about, or need to sign up on the linky list.

    Sounds like fun, I'll see what I can do, but at the very least I'll go play with Mr. Linky and give the blogs a view.

    I've only hosted one other blogfest that had more people than that (not counting the A to Z Challenge or the Insecure Writer's Support Group) and we're close to beating that one!

    It's really not all that amazing considering that between the two of you, there are almost 2000 followers. These are like two titans wading through the shoals of Middle Earth asking for people to follow them. The inevitable is inevitable.

    If I wasn't already invested in other blogfests, I'd totally be down for this one. But thank you for mentioning it. I'll check it out.

    I launched a giveaway today! :)

    I posted a wee bit early(West Coast time), just in case the fog rolls in, the continental plates shift, or my laptop wants to take a hiatus. . .
    like it did this morning.

    I'll do my intense blog-hopping tomorrow. See you then.
