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.
I love finding new blogs to follow. Thanks, Melissa!

Hi Melissa,
