And, although I have never included my own weblog writing in Five Star Fridays, because I have a quiet little rule about not using this space to promote my own work, three of you submitted the following post, so now I'm breaking rules and crap. Are you happy now?
"Schmutzie Dancing Is Not Good for Kittens or Other Living Things" from Schmutzie.com
Please come back and share good writing with us over the coming week to be featured on the next Five Star Friday. If you have read a really good piece on someone else's weblog, submit it by Thursday at midnight CST to have it featured on Five Star Friday.
And because you are a fan of finding good new writing on the internet:
Enjoy the weekend, everyone! Winter has nearly stopped kicking everyone's ass.

The Sagal piece is awesome. Lots of these I missed, so I know I have good stuff ahead!
Thank you, love. :)
Thank you! I hope the outpouring of love helps Heather and Mike in some small way.

Yay for breaking rules! Just because you run the site, doesn't mean your writing shouldn't be recognized as awesome!
