Okay, so I know I said earlier in the week that I wasn't blogging for the rest of the week. But I've got a pocket of time tonight and have too many good links not to share.

But first, if anyone is in the DFW area, I'll be signing books tonight from 6:30-9pm in Irving along with a bunch of other authors. Proceeds go to charity so hope y'all will come by. (Deets here.)

Alright, on to the links...

And April will be here in a few days. Thanks the heavens because March has been beyond nightmarish for me. But anyway, April is the month of the A to Z Challenge. I think I'm going to give this a shot because it will shake up my blog a bit and force me out of my normal schedule and comfort zone. Anyone else doing it?

Fill Me In Friday - Best Writing Links of the Week

March 23, 2012 Roni Loren

Wow, it's been quite a week...or month rather. You ever have one of those months where the universe seems to have set you up in a dunk tank? You know, keeps lobbing balls at your target just to see how many times you can fall in the water without drowning? Well, anyway, that was March for me. Someone toss me a life raft, would ya?

On a related note, this week I've been under deadline (book's due next week) and have written almost 10k words. This means I haven't been able to stop by all my favorite blog haunts, so the list is a little shorter than usual. But I do have a few great ones for you to check out. Hope you enjoy. :)
