Everybody hop!


Welcome to the Writer’s Follow Friday Blog Hop! Not sure if you qualify? If you have a blog to add, guess what, you’re a writer! So check out the rules, grab the link and join the hop! We’re small for now, but we hope to continue to grow.

This week’s featured guest is Michelle Ferguson of Michelle Ferguson Books. I asked her to tell us a little bit about her before she got started with the question.



Mind blowing information about me--I'm at every Metal concert that comes to town--I love the paranormal and spend the entire month of October ghost hunting--Don't show me French fries, because I will eat them--Have crazy pets that I love dearly--Want it to stop raining so I can hike--Pretend I like to workout in order to phsyche myself out--Laugh at almost anything--If I could go back in time and meet one person it would be Queen Elizabeth 1st--Dream vacation is England--Okay that's enough boring stuff about me, I feel like I just answered a online dating questionnaire


This weeks question:
For me one of the most useful tool in my writing arsenal is Urban dictionary. What is your most referred to website for your writing?


Michelle's answer:
Google. I google everything. For Legion I googled Angel names in order to get character names.


How do you join in the fun? So glad you asked. It’s really quite simple.

The rules
  • 1)      Follow me, Elizabeth Sharp, the host of this hop
  • 2)      Follow the featured author of the week.
  • 3)      Go to Sharp words and copy the image code found there and paste it in your blog. Add your name to the link at the bottom of the post while you are there.
  • 4)      Copy and paste the rules in your blog, as well as this week’s question.
  • 5)      Answer the question
  • 6)      Follow, follow, follow. This is about networking, people, making connections with people in your community. So talk to us. We don't bite! This post serves as the perfect place for you to say hello.
  • 7)      If someone stops by, says hi and follows you, the polite thing to do is follow back.
  • 8)      Comment here and introduce yourself and you just might find a new follower or two.



Breaking it down, here, in this box, is the code for the snazzy quill link to the hop. Copy it and paste it into your own blog in "Edit HTML" mode.




Next, get the question here and answer it in your own blog.

Now, copy and paste these rules to your blog (they’re a little different than mine and designed to help your blog)

Finally add your name to this list of wonderful blog authors by clicking the frog link at the bottom and adding your name and blog address. Make sure you actually answer the question and link to the hop. And please comment, we all like to hear someone out there is listening. 

And now we'll see who's paying attention. Bring in a new hopper, or if you're a new hopper who just wandered in, comment below with a way for me to contact you and you will be entered for a chance to win a $10 Amazon gift card. All you have to do to enter is recruit a friend and you both are eligible. We're trying to grow and need all the help we can get! I do go through the blogs every week and have access to past linky lists, so don't try to pull a fast one. If you don't know anyone with a blog and would like to enter, post a link to where you tweeted/facebooked/myspaced it and you can enter that way as well. Help me get the word out! 





And for those of you who would like to host the list as well, here's the coding for it....

  3. Great question this week! An author's research toolbox is one of his or her most valuable assets. I absolutely love doing research.
