The other day I was tagged again to do The Next Big Thing Blog Hop. If you aren’t familiar, The Next Big Thing is an opportunity for a writer/artist to share what’s coming next. Each interviewee tackles the same questions and then tags a few others to participate. It’s a wonderful way to find out what’s forthcoming from some fabulous writers.
So many people have now done The Next Big Thing that it’s become nearly impossible to keep track. Too many of these big things have been missed or lost because there isn’t any single collection of all the links. Until now.
I’m hoping this will become the official comprehensive database of all those big things we’re up to as writers and artists. If you participated or know someone else who has, please let me know and I will add the link.
Please, when you tag new writers, let them know about this database so they can contact me and get listed here.
