The baristas at Go Dog Go Cafe are big fans of Pay It Forward Thursdays. We think it is a great opportunity to give a shout-out to another writer who has wowed us or creatively inspired us. However, Pay It Forward Thursday has not been getting a lot of love lately, which we think is a shame. Dear reader, you are losing out on some great writing! We’ve decided to shake things up a little and the baristas will be reblogging our Pay It Forward picks for the week directly onto GDG Cafe so you don’t miss out on our favorites.
We like this idea so much that we will also reblog the posts you think were the best thing you read this week if you drop a link below. You are invited to post one link to one specific post (600 words or less please!) from someone else’s blog in the comments below and we will do the rest. Happy reading!

Ha! This was great! Thanks so much for this laugh! Reminds me of an old Dilbert comic when the boss hands him his newest project and then turns and says, “Oh, and by the way, you are already six months behind schedule!”. I needed that shot of fun!!!

I managed to mess up direct re-blogging of this stunning post earlier today – ‘erroneouschoices’ removed the evidence from her blog for me ( she is very kind and tolerant – must be my age!) but I’m not able to re-blog again so here you’ll find a link – this young writer well deserves to be read!

Tragically moving poem torn from real life about the death of a young woman. Intense, powerful, almost savage.
