1.) Smokey Mountain Breakdown – she’s posting flash fiction works throughout the month of February, and I have to say, what she manages to do in under 1000 words is freaking amazing. (Also, her Grandpa Alfie’s recipe for Wiener Schnitzel looks amazing too – I am so trying it.)

2.) The Infomercantile – Couple of other High-Fivers have linked to posts on this blog. It’s old black and white photographs, which are fascinating on their own, but the author also provides as much information as they have on the photos, as well as any additional research they have done. Enough great stuff to keep my little writer’s mind spinning.

3.) The article Five Easy Ways to Build Sustainable Word-of-Mouth, which is a response to Joan’s Top 10 Tips for Free Publicity. Both have some great ideas and commentary that can be applicable for writers.

4.) Author Kelly Spitzer has an ongoing column in her blog called “Get Real” where she poses a publishing question to authors and editors and then posts some of the responses. Very interesting reading.

5.) THE DOCTOR IS IN – a humorous look at the realities of the mixed emotions that can develop when a friend has some writing success – happiness for them, but also frustration and maybe a little bit of jealousy for not being at that point yourself.

The purpose of this meme is to give high-fives to 5 people, posts, blogs and/or websites you’ve admired during the week, so who are YOUR High-Fives? Post them to your blog and then Share the love.
