Why? Because…
I was invited today to join in a blog event/tour called FanstRAvaganza in March to celebrate the various skills of Richard Armitage, English actor.
For a moment, I thought why would I? Or even would I?
And then I thought of how the inspiration for my favourite protagonist, Finnian (in A Thousand Glass Flowers which is in submission) came so powerfully from Richard as Gisborne in the BBC’s Robin Hood. And then of course there is the most writing fun I have ever had, which has been in creating my own personal version of Gisborne in the fan-fiction novel: Gisborne.
Oh and then there’s the number of fans who came to The Masked Ball (mesmered’s 2010 blog event) with incarnations of Richard on their arm. So I thought I should be a part of this latest: to pay my respects to Richard’s acting ability, his gravitas and his intellect. And also to say thank you to all the readers who have literally taken Gisborne to their hearts.
See you in March, hopefully with a chapter every day of that week!
The list of participating bloggers below comes from the inimitable RAFrenzy who is the first on the list. I imagine by March the list will be quite enormous, so watch for it.
Does happy dance!! Why, why, why?? Because it will be double the blast this year! I’m clearing my calendar for that week!
It’s going to be a hoot! Welcome! Looking forward to reading everyone’s blog posts. 🙂
A chapter a day? For an entire week? That will be fabulous!
I agree with Maria Grazia. A chapter a day! I will think I’ve died and gone to heaven. Only…does this mean we have to go cold turkey till then?
Oh, this is one blog tour that I have every intention of following!
