Spring Writers and Readers

This is the time of year when work picks up for me. I have many projects under way at once, and I'm enjoying the flow. However, it means I have to cut back on some of my more social endeavors. 

So, in an effort to keep this brief, I wanted to mention a new blog I learned about at the conference last week.

The Ruby Slippered Sisterhood may have been created from the 2009 RWA Golden Heart Finalists, but it's open to and helpful to any genre. I urge you to check it out.

What about you? Is this a particularly busy time for you? Are there any blogs you recommend? Any great books we should read?
