A to Z Challenge - O - and Blog Happenings

For the A to Z Challenge, I am featuring some awesome bloggers. These individuals have offered so much support of my book, CassaStar, and me on my blogger journey. Of course, I’ll be keeping up with the world of movies, music, and pop culture stuff as well! Ninjas are just talented that way...


One Significant Moment at a Time
Nicole is a diversified writer with a wonderful heart. She’s received awards, had short stories published, and is working on a novel. She’s traveled extensively, learned foreign languages, and describes herself as free-spirited. Spend a few moments with Nicole - you’ll be glad you did!

Big announcement from Jo at Shoveling in a Jo Storm! Her husband is in the film industry (and has worked on films such as Iron Man 2 and 127 Hours) and now he’s finally making his own movie. There’s a contest for those who help spread the word (including a face plate from Iron Man 2) so check out Jo’s site for details!

Hart at Confessions of a Watery Tart hit 500 followers this weekend! She’s now closer to naked world domination.

Sorry, no nakedness here. That should come as a great relief to my followers!

    I wish Jo's husband great success with his debut feature. "Iron Man 2" and "127 Hours"? - Wow, this guy is the real deal :)

    Congrats on Hart for hitting 500 followers. This is huge blogging accomplishment! :)

    No nudity? Damn! :)

    No nakedness? I want nakedness.

    I'm off to Jo's blog to see if her husband is making a film about nakedness.

    Hey, we're all family here. What's a little nakedness?

    Anyone connected with Iron Man 2 is my hero. Color me impressed.

  9. Alex J. CavanaughApril 18, 2011 at 6:47 AM

    Thanks, Suzy.

    Nebular, 99.9% of the male population should never be seen naked...

    Moody, doubtful, but I know someone who might do that!

    Ellie, you really don't, trust me.

    And Ocean Girl, I tried several times to comment on your site this weekend but couldn't.

    Kitty, maybe... NOT!

    Will check out those sites. (It would seem that "naked" is one of the more powerful words to use in the blogosphere (and everywhere). Perhaps I should put some version of "naked", "nudity", or "bare" in every post title...

    If this naked world domination includes not having to wear shoes, then I am in. Where do I vote? Congrats to Hart and I am sure those are awesome big time movies, but this is the first time I have heard of them so I will take your word that they are mega awesome. Yes I live under a rock and don't go out much.
