Failed to Renew Domain Name- My Blog is MIA
Hello friends and friends I cannot locate & hopefully new friends and fellow bloggers. I took a six month hiatus from my blog so that I could finish my novel. The good news, I did it!! I finally finished the last revision of my first novel, a legal thriller, titled JUSTICE FOR SALE. It was a lot of hard work, but the feeling of finally typing "The End", is beyond description. Now I must begin the frightening and exciting stage of the dreaded query letter.
The bad news, while neglecting my family, friends, social life, work, and my blog so I could finish my novel, I failed to renew my domain name, http://fictiontoolbox.com and it is no longer available.
I feel certain that I will be able to find some of the blogs I followed, by viewing my favorites, bookmarks and saved documents. I had a great list of writer related blogs that I simply adored and often looked to for advice and up to date pointers for my fiction writing.
It almost seems pointless to even be writing this post since I no longer have followers. How do I expect this to reach you? I am going to do everything I can think of to locate my followers and the blog writers I simply could not live without before I shut the world out to finish my book. Some of your names and some of your blog names or website addresses will come back to me if I did not completely overwork my brain during my countless revisions of JUSTICE FOR SALE.
My blog design was also treated to a fabulous and quirky makeover, compliments of Tenille at The Cutest Blog On The Block. She is awesome. I was difficult to work with and she never complained. She made countless changes for me and I love the finished product.
I am sure many of you are thinking that my new design by TCBOTB is a little over the top and probably way too funky and busy for a writer and even more so for an attorney.
which can now be found at http://fictiontoolbox.blogspot.com will remain wild, funky, and colorful. It is me and the bright colors and pattern combinations and contrast make me happy and make me SMILE.
Tenille is a life save (or blog saver) as she managed to get this up and running again. If only she had a magic wand she could wave and Poof, all of my contacts would reappear. Well it is close to Halloween. I believe in magic. Don't you?
I have a big favor to ask of you.
If I am fortunate enough to locate you and your blog, If you have been kind enough to click on my link and have landed on this page, if you were a friend or follower of HAVE YOU HEARD, located at www.ficitontoolbox.com. Please join again. If you are new to this blog, I hope you will join as well.

Missing you,

Hi, Melissa,
I came over from Clarissa's blog. Can't begin to even imagine the breakdown you must have come close to when you discovered you'd lost your stuff. Had a similar experience - except a phishing outfit took over my blog. Here's hoping your old followers find you.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate your support. If I did not tell you in the comment section of your blog; I just purchased your book & I am eager to begin reading
I must appreciate your work on the blog..It has come out well..
