Dusting off the blog

Yes, I'm still on vacation, but I've gone one week with extremely limited on-line time and while it was a great catchup with reality, I'm back and I'm participating in Rachael Harrie's Third Writer's Platform-Building Campaign.
This promises to be a great way to meet other bloggers with similar interests and build social media friendships and there's still time to join if you're interested.
This is the first time I've done anything like this, but I'm really looking forward to build my blog's awareness a little as well as interacting with others out there in the writing world.
