This blogfest is hosted by Alex Cavanaugh, Matt MacNish and Andrew Leon. It goes without saying that the whole blogging community would miss these guys if they stopped posting. Please take a moment to head over there and say Hi to them all. They all blog extensively and are a total inspiration.
This blogfest is about our blogger friends. Who would we really miss if they stopped blogging and those who aren't posting as often or have stopped altogether. So first up are the some of my favourite bloggers. They are funny, generous and I would bloody hate it if they didn't blog anymore.
Lily from The Incoherent Ramblings of a Moose! She is utterly hysterical, crazy as shit and blogs about really weird stuff that might, or might not, have happened to her. She is not for the faint of heart, so be warned. I love her though and would absolutely hate, hate, hate it if she stopped blogging. Like me, she has been finding it hard to blog as much recently. Is it something in the air, do you think?
Pat from It's Rhyme Time. Another one who is barking mad, or should I say meowing mad! It is written in rhyme by Pat's cat. Hmmm I think that says it all. He blogs every day, which by itself is an amazing task. I did that for one month for the A-Z Challenge and it nearly killed me! He always comments on my posts even when I don't comment on his, which is just too lovely for words. He's written a ton of books, so please go and visit his blog. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Pat. You're Top Cat.
Bridget Straub is someone who I have met through blogging and she is so great. She has a fab blog, which I only manage to comment on occassionally, as I can't seem to find time to do anything these days. She writes more than anyone I know - three books in one year! She is kind, funny, generous and brave. Check out her blog and all her books. She will be guesting on my blog very soon, so please come back and see her then.
Now here are some bloggers who don't blog as often or who have stopped altogether:
Rachael Harrie of Rach Writes was the reason why I started blogging in the first place. Her Third Platform-Building Campaign back in August 2011 started me off. She seems to have stopped the Campaigns which, although I can totally understand why as they must have been an unearthly amount of work, is a sad thing as they were such good fun and I met so many new people. She still blogs and is definitely worth visiting. She always has a lot of great information on her blog.
Gillian Hefer from A Daft Scots Lass has just stopped blogging in September. She was always off the wall and swore more than any drunken Glaswegian stumbling out of the pub on a Friday night. I will miss her tell-it-like-it-is humour and ruder-than-hell remarks. Hopefully she will just take a well-earned rest and be back with more in the New Year.
Hey Claire, I very nearly put your name down on my list but decided not to in the end.
ReplyDeleteI remember Moose, she hasn't been around much lately!
Rachel Harrie has been very quiet too!
Yes I know, I have had so little time for blogging recently. Thanks for your comment.
DeleteAwesome, thanks for the shout to the cat and yeah I am bloody mad and then some haha the cat is always around as well, at least 99% of the time, so will usually chime.
ReplyDeleteAww you are awesome! The best blogger around. And the cat is mad as a bat.
DeleteThanks Claire! You are so right about Lilly and Rachel. Now I must go check out Pat. Sorry I never discovered A Daft Scots Lass
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome, Bridget. Definitely check out Pat.
DeleteI've really missed Lass. I've exchanged emails with her and her blog is now set to private, but she let me have access. If she starts posting at all again, I will let you know.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in our blogfest!
Private access?? Now what's this? Private blogging for those special people?? Yes please let me know if she goes public again. She's hilarious.
DeleteHi Claire .. you've obviously hit the sweet spot with your suggestions .. I must obviously get to meet Pat .. he must be on the list! And you've reminded me about a Scots lass on the other coast - whom I haven't contacted for a while ...
ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary
Thanks Hilary. They are all worth a look in my opinion. Glad I jogged your memory too.
Deletewow, these all look fab! I'm making a list! I need to laugh my ass off-thank you! It amazes me how we connect online-some of my best friends are online ;D
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you!
And very nice to meet you too. You will definitely laugh at any of those blogs. Thanks for coming over to my blog.
DeleteYou picked some awesome bloggers. Thanks for taking part, Claire!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting another great blogfest. Looking forward to spending some time at the weekend visiting everyone else's suggestions.
DeleteHow can you not miss Rach and Lass?
ReplyDeleteI know - sad :(
DeleteStraight over from Alex's - nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteLikewise - will hope to meet you all over the weekend. Thanks for your comment.
DeletePat is one of my favorite bloggers. His posts are always random, excellent reads.
ReplyDeleteYes, he is extremely random! Insane, but takes one to know one, I suppose. Thanks for your comment :)
DeleteVery kewl choices, Claire. This blogfest has been so much fun!
ReplyDeleteHi, Claire,
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you.
I adore Rach and miss her terribly. I hope she comes back soon.
I love Pat... He's a SCREAM.... LOL.
Hey,
ReplyDelete*LOVE* your choices... and I agree Pat is as funny as a bat and Gillian would make Braveheart blush (even with that blue war paint on him :)
They sound like great blogs; maybe they'll see this and come back!
ReplyDeleteI love this blogfest! Of course, I was out when it was happening... Miss me? LOL! j/k
ReplyDeleteThese are great choices! Yes, Pat! What would we do without his rhyming cat? :D
Take care, Claire! And Happy Thanksgiving! :o) <3
You're damn right, gurl! I will return to blogging in the new year but not daily. Perhaps a couple times a week or once a week. I have been blogging for five years and unless I get some fresh ideas going, it will be the same old fekking boring shite. Firstly, Happy Christmas; secondly, thanx for the shout out and last but certainly not leastly (lol), don't forget to come and visit and leave a rude comment or three. PEACE OUT!
