Follow Friday Again



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 question is Shakespeare asked What's in a name? But we all know better. So let's talk about names, specifically our blog's name. How did you come up with yours?

Please join in in welcoming Paige W. Pendleton from Gustatus Similis Pullus, this week's featured author, with her answer.

Okay! I'm laughing.

It is Latin for tastes like chicken. I wanted something irreverent, and phrase seemed to fit. I've since looked it up, and found ""Tastes like chicken is also used for incongruous humor, deployed for situations which have no real relevance."

Yep. That worked. Perfectly.


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

The rules
1)      Follow me, Elizabeth Sharp, the originator of this hop
2)      Follow the featured author of the week, Paige W. Pendleton.
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!
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.

  6. my blog name: It's a WRITER'S LIFE.

    It's an offshoot of It's a Wonderful Life, and living the life of a Writer is a wonderful life, if only the j.o.b. didn't get in the way. But I must say there has been numerous occassions when I was afforded time to do what I wanted and what I wanted was to write. I had a marvelous time doing so and hopefully soon, will be able to do so again.

    When anyone asks me what I do in my free time, the answer is always 'write.' Luckily, I write in many genres and forms so I never get bored, except for the occassional writer's block, which has not afflicted me in many, many months. My secret? Having submitted my first piece and being accepted on the second try. Not that I expect that to be the norm but it sure boosted my confidence (and possibly my ego, but isn't that secretly why we write?)

    It really is a (WONDERFUL) WRITER'S LIFE.
