Five Star Friday's Edition #70

If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.

   — Woody Allen

We have 23 excellent weblog entries to read this week, and, as I exhort you to do every week, put aside your work, grab a cup of coffee, and take some time to check out this fine reading. Remember, most of these writers pretty much work for free, so pay them in comments. It makes a blogger happy.

And, I also want YOU to share your writing in the comments section here. Have you written something you think is keen? Leave a comment with the url to that particular post so that we can all enjoy your creative goods. Be shameless!

Now I have a lot of reading to do...  witchypoo on September 11, 2009 1:50 PM   Where I want you to read about mah drawahs. http://psychicgeek.com/mah-drawahs/  jadedperspective on September 11, 2009 2:08 PM   I'm scared but I am going to do it anyway. http://jadedperspective.wordpress.com/2009/09/11/my-own-911/  Only Aman on September 11, 2009 2:37 PM   Hi there, We will be discussing the posts on Editon #70 tonight at 8p PST and 11p EST here: http://onlyaman.net/five-star-friday-live/ Grab a drink and join in for the discussion.

It's quite an honor.  Ellen on September 11, 2009 9:00 PM   I wanted to add my thanks, too. I write my blog to spread awareness about kids with special needs (and to encourage moms to keep their sense of humor...and sanity!) and so I appreciated your including me here. Thanks, again.  notkeith on September 12, 2009 3:24 AM   Jeepers. Thanks for featuring me. I have no idea how you came across me (despite my vast readership of a dozen or so hugely tolerant and uncritical types who probably have more time than they strictly need).  King of New York Hacks on September 12, 2009 10:36 PM   This may seem like self promo . however its not. I did a detailed tribute for 9/11 with photos from Ground Zero that most people cross the states and world don't get a chance to see. I'm leaving the post up for about 10 days. Peace. http://kingofnewyorkhacks.blogspot.com/  Darren Sproat on September 14, 2009 8:43 PM   I am honored that you chose to feature my blog and, specifically, my post "Be Present for You" on Five Star Friday. Eternally grateful... And what's best, I now have several more blogs to check out. Thank you, Darren Sproat  Kate Coveny Hood on September 17, 2009 6:21 PM   Aha! So this is what that five star badge means (never clicked on it - just thought it was an award or something). Found this site through a tweet from Mommy Geek. She and Anymommy and Amy (doobleh-vay) are some of my favorite people. I've put this feed in my reader for future. Wonderful posts. blog comment guidelines post a comment · Subscribe to Post Comments [Atom] · main
