You’ve been busy setting up a new home, but don’t worry. You left us a chance to go back and read our favorites again. I remember the ones I read way back when, before I knew you as I do. I especially liked this one.
Didn’t realize it was foreshadowing how I might be feeling now. You’re always so present in all you do.
Welcome home again, Joanna.

Sometimes I’m good with words. Sometimes words fail me at the times it matters most.
This is one of those times.
So I thought I’d give myself a break and send a picture instead.
It’s a picture of a party venue. Not just any old party venue, but the perfect place to hold a party for a universe of successful, outstanding bloggers. Correction – not the perfect place. The only place.
The only saloon in town.
Do you recognise it?
I know, I know, there’s no-one there yet. The room is quietly, calmly, empty. But you can sense the atmosphere – of excitement, expectation, readiness, anticipation – just by popping your head round the door. Go on. Take a peek.
Can you feel it?
That’s right. It’s as if the room is waiting – just for you.
Joanna Young

The party is Oct. 24th! Come for the surprises! Bring a link to your success!!! 
It’s such fun to be inspired!
Jan of Circular Communication wrote a wonderful guest post for Lorelle called Why A Link Post Should Be Like Mingling at a Party. Joanna of Confident Writing used it as a springboard into a post of her own, How to write a links post.
Joanna said that as a writer she prefers to write link posts that have these characteristics. This is one fabulous definition. [I’ve edited her words slightly.]
A great links post
Can you write a thematic link post that meets Joanna’s definition? It’s like telling a story. . . . Vern does it every Sunday linking three or four blogs. It’s not as hard as it seems and it’s quite satisfying.
Are you up for the challenge? If you come through, I’ll build a story link post linking all of your thematic link posts together.
Go on, make my life miserable . . . the more who participate, the more work I’ll have to do. Rally a crowd. I’m up for it now. Nothing can be as hard as the 10 Chapter saga of A List Becomes 301 Links in Story.
C’mon try it. Pick five links that go together. Then write a post to connect them. Or pick 10 or 20!!
You just might find that you had a great time! Think of the link love we’ll spread. Yeah, it’s time to get jazzed about linking and writing.
Are you going to give it a shot?
