In an effort to break-through

my writer’s block (!)

, I visit tons of blogs on a semi-regular basis. The thirteen below range from

the literary to the risqué.

The list is by no means exhaustive, it’s just mean to give you a glimpse into how I spend my time when I’m not visiting other Thursday Thirteeners!
