But, the three blogs I&#8217;m visiting today are all in my hometown of Brockville. I need an easy day like this to rest up after the hectic schedule I set myself up for. Yeesh&#8230; wouldn&#8217;t you think I could have been a bit more coordinated rather than jetting all over from point A to B and back again? Over and over again. Oh well, at least I&#8217;m only travelling virtually. If it were for real, I would have the UK and European stops together and the same with the North American ones.<\/p>\n<p>So where am I today? Well, three members of my local writers&#8217; group &#8211; Writers&#8217; Ink &#8211; have agreed to host me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">*****<\/p>\n<p>My first stop today is with Joe Mossman. Back in January, Joe and I were guests on the local cable company&#8217;s program Reader&#8217;s Corner. You can see his interview with me on his blog <a href=\"http:\/\/joe-mossman.blogspot.com\/\">joe-mossman.blogspot.com<\/a>. Hope Joe has the coffee on. After my hectic schedule, I&#8217;ll need the caffeine jolt to get me kick-started this morning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">*****<\/p>\n<p>My second stop is at Chris Hanna&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/christopherdhanna.com\">My adventure in becoming at writer<\/a> blog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">*****<\/p>\n<p>My last stop is with Dorothy Bush. She&#8217;s invited me for high tea. Hmm&#8230; wonder what we&#8217;ll be having? No coffee at this time of day, but a tipple of something just in keeping with the occasion. Dorothy blogs at <a href=\"http:\/\/dorothybush.com\/\">Twisting in the Wind<\/a>. Maybe if she hasn&#8217;t put her motorcycle away for the season, she&#8217;ll take me out for a short ride.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.melanierobertson-king.com\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/blog-tour-button.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3705\" src=\"http:\/\/www.melanierobertson-king.com\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/blog-tour-button-213x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melanierobertson-king.com\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/blog-tour-button-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/melanierobertson-king.com\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/blog-tour-button.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Drop back tomorrow and see what part of the world I&#8217;ll be visiting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not as such.
