What I Love About You Wednesday

My new feature for 2011 is called "What I Love About You Wednesday". Each and every one of my followers has added something unique and wonderful to my life, and I want to reach out to each of you and share what I love about you and your blogs.


My plan is to go in order starting with my very first followers, and each week, highlight someone new. If you're a follower of my blog but haven't been blogging for a while, I'm going to wait until you get back into it. If for some reason you are following my blog, but I'm not following yours, please let me know. I tried to make sure I was reciprocating, but there were a few people I couldn't find.

For this week I'm sharing the LOVE with:

ANGELA ACKERMAN

I was lucky enough to have Angela Ackerman as one of my very first followers. I was new to blogging at the time, and she became sort of a role model for me. Her blog The Bookshelf Muse is an amazing resource for writers.

She has several "Thesaurus" that she updates on a regular basis. The Emotion Thesaurus, The Setting Thesaurus , The Color Shape and Texture Thesaurus, The Symbolism Thesaurus.

These are just a few of the amazing resources on Angela's blog, which is also hosted by Becca Puglici.

So if you aren't one of their 1430+++ followers already, you need to be.

They are also have a great contest this week, so if you haven't already done so, check it out!

Thanks again Angela for being a great resource for writers.

    Melissa, you are far too good to me. I'm blushing at all these nice things--I feel like I should frame your post and send it to my mom!

    I'm happy to have helped you in some small way. Thanks so much for sharing the love with me and the blog this week! It's an honor. :)

    Hi Melissa,

    I'm a new follower and, it appears, much newer to the writing world than you! I'm on my way to check out Angela's blog next...what a great idea! And I LOVE your Zoosdays Tuesdays!! I could learn about animals 24/7 and still not know enough. I've had a great time looking around your blog--keep up the good work!!

    I think Angela is fab, too. I'm lucky because she lives in my city and we get together with other writers for lunch at least once a month. :D
