Sparkfest

Blogfests are a great way to find new bloggers and for other bloggers to find your blog. It's all about the interaction and I love social media for the opportunities it gives you for interacting with people who have similar interests.

With that in mind, I recently found a writing related blogfest that I want to take part in. You may also be interested. The blogfest is hosted by Christine at The Writer Coaster

Click the below image to go to the hosting blog. The blurb below it is copied over from Christines blog. I love the prompts. Will you be posting?







What book made you realize you were doomed to be a writer? 
What author set off that spark of inspiration for your current Work in Progress?
Or, Is there a book or author that changed your world view?

As writers, we're always striving to get out a message of inspiration to others. This blogfest is a celebration for those who have done this for us. Join the Spark Blogfest, aka Sparkfest, by posting your answer to any of the three prompts above (or make one up as long as it fits the theme).

I'll make it worth your while!
  • There will be three Amazon Gift Cards ($15, $10, $5) awarded to random participants!
  • The blogger who writes my favorite entry will get an interview on my blog so they can tell us more about their awesome source of writerly inspiration!
  • By networking with other writers, you gain followers and comments for your own blog.

Only one Sparkfest post August 22-26 is required to participate.

  2. I like your first paragraph. It says what I have frequently said and it is very true.

    I may have to pencil this blog fest in my schedule. I'll be away on a vacation during that week which might make it a little difficult to visit blogs, but at least I could preschedule my post and then see what kind of computer time I can scrounge up during the week.

    Thanks for giving us the heads up announcement.

  10. I am only realising now that for some reason, I kept calling you 'Kim' at Harrogate! I swore you were introduced to me as Kim. Perhaps not. Many apologies for the faux pas!

    anyway, thanks for the Blogfest tip!
