I...Where, apart from here? I nominate here then.<br /><br />I enjoy lots, so here are a few more. Nominations, shominations. Just enjoy em, I say.<br /><br /> I love Tania's blog too, because she is very generous with her links to comps, and always so passionate about the short story, alerting everyone to what's going on in the world of shorts, and it is also seriously lovely to see her very hard work at her own writing being rewarded.<br />www.titaniawrites.blogspot.com<br /><br />I giggle and empathise in equal measure with Sara Crowley's blog, writer and bookseller insights alike- very funny, very interesting. www.asalted.blogspot.com<br /><br />I appreciate Kay Sexton's wisdom at www.writing neuroses.blogspot.com<br /><br />Did I break the rules?

That's bound to sort you out.<br /><br />Emma, of course I nominated your blog: you write the most wonderful things over there, and I am in awe of you. More people should read your brilliant blog.<br /><br />As for the rest of you: thank you so much for the nominations, and for those of you who have left details of other sites here, don't forget to visit Editor Unleashed at the link above to make your nominations where it counts.

The P&E site is a godsend and should get its own award for furthering the integrity of the publishing business. Thank you ladies. Then you have my blog to consider, but it’s written by an idiot so…<br /><br />I’d like to nominate The Literary Lab. http://literarylab.blogspot.com/ <br /><br />Please check it out if you haven’t already. Every post is a must read for writers with a desire to improve.

And as I messed up my first attempt, I tried again and included a link here as well.<br /><br />Don’t worry about how you get the links up, Nicola, just stick them in any old how. I don’t think you have to make them clickable links like I did: just write them out in full. For example, if you were going to nominate my blog (as if you would…) you could copy and paste this alongside your comment:<br /><br />http://howpublishingreallyworks.blogspot.com<br /><br />If you want me to tell you how to make them clickable I can’t really help, because I cheated! I wrote my reply on Blogger, as if I was going to post it as a blog post here, clicked on the “edit HTML” tab then copied and pasted it over as it was, and that seemed to work.Jane Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411253302725735470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-66230774219462030962009-08-14T14:12:12.203+01:002009-08-14T14:12:12.203+01:00Jaaaaaaane - hellllllllp!

I want to do it, I really really do, and of course I'd be nominating you, but I am trying to rush it and I can't work out how to do the links in comments.

It’s full of news from the world of short and flash fiction. I appreciate this form of fiction mainly because I am unable to write short stories myself, yet enjoy them tremendously.<br /><br />I hope the hyperlinks work, first time I've used them...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658858373848443540noreply@blogger.com
