Also, there is a really good chance that my horror list book review will be next week instead of this week, because of limited reading time and having trouble getting into the next book I was going to review. We'll see.

Snow days this week have confused me. But they did get me out of work, so that works.
You always share such a great list. I remind my daughter to check it out. Snow days seem to happen every week this year.
I'm ready to be done with winter! Thanks for the links. :)
Yay for linkies!
I get the whole having-a-hard-time getting into a book. For a little while there I was totally on a short story kick, and suddenly I wasn't anymore. Now all I want is a novel to knock my socks off. It's funny how moods change, eh?
I see snow on the mountains but no snow days in L.A. Now to figure out what the heck Cthulhu is.

Tossing It Out
Our weather turned cold again after a very mild winter. No snow, but I'm okay with that as long as the mountains get it.
"Cozy mysteries set in vacation destinations" always sound interesting to me
Ugg to the sow, so much of it that it can confuse anyone
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the links! And, I just received a rejection letter, haven't written my W1S1 this month . . .but I might have time for something short today or tomorrow in the few days I have between massive projects. :)
I hope the snow goes away for you!
I like the title for this post. ;) Looking at those submissions makes me wish I had short stories ready to go. With everything I have going on, I don't think I'll be able to write and edit something in time.
Thanks for all these information and the links.
Wow, thank you for yet another excellent list. Where do you find so many???
Lots of great links here. Thanks Shannon!
Looks like a lot of great resources for everyone! I get confused by snow days too. I am always amazed at how much my week gets thrown off.
I haven't been writing as much in February as I would have liked. It was so cold it was hard to get off my couch when I got home from work. I am hoping March will be better. :)
