Earlier this week, I was lucky enough to receive two blog awards from a couple of bloggers I really admire. I’m always so honored when fellow bloggers are kind enough to recognize my blog. Thank you to The Flying Yenta for the 7×7 Link Award and redjim99 of notyetthere for The Versatile Blogger Award. I would highly recommend visiting both sites, for they are wholly unique and always offer an interesting read. The Flying Yenta is a talented writer who just had one of her stories accepted for publication, (Congratulations!) and over on notyetthere, you’ll find wonderful recent post that documents a climb up the Manchester Clock Tower.
This is my third time receiving The Versatile Blogger Award, (it never gets old!), so I’m going to combine the requirements of acceptance with the 7×7. However, you can see my Versatile Blogger acceptance requirements by reading, A Nice Surprise.
Share something about yourself that others don’t know.
I drive a stick shift and I’m proud of the fact that I can. It’s a dying art.
Link seven posts from your blog that you think are worthy.
It was tough trying to figure out which seven posts are worthy, so I decided to go with the posts that triggered the biggest conversations among readers. These are the Top Seven most commented posts on my blog and therefore the most worthy:
Wreck This Journal: Letting Go
Freshly Pressed Shocked Syndrome
Wreck This Journal: Be Unpredictable
Bonus: Let Me Live is a story I posted last week and the reader response was well beyond what I expected, so to me that makes it worthy of a bonus slot.
Nominate seven other bloggers that deserve the award and haven’t received it yet.
I just recently stumbled upon this blog and every time I visit, I think to myself, “Why couldn’t I have found this months ago?” She is currently writing a fantastic series of posts about the fine art of query letters and crafting that pesky synopsis. Her advice offers simple, common sense solutions to the slew of problems we all face when trying land an agent.
My day isn’t complete until I’ve read a post on Sky Diaries. This honest and inspiring blog documents the ups and downs of what it is to be a writer. She isn’t afraid to admit the defeats and she celebrates the victories with the brightest light imaginable.
This delightful blog has some of the best inspiration when it comes to craft projects and life in general. The atmosphere is bright with whimsical paintings, home decor projects, and most recently a beautiful bead and wire pendant. I love her spirit of experimenting without fear of failure.
Kate has it all – books, haikus, photography, and flash fiction! Her love of books and the beauty of her writing makes her blog one of my favorites. In particular, her haikus offer a unique perspective on the world around us as do her amazing photographs.
Every day brings a beautiful photograph and a lingering thought that stays with me throughout the day. Visit this artistic blog for amazing moments of color, nature, inspiration, and wordsmithing.
This is probably the most positive blog out there! Each day there is something to be thankful for and this fantastic blogger lists her daily moments of gratitude. In turn, she encourages others to leave reasons to be thankful. I love the reminder to see my day through the lens of gratitude.
Ever wonder what a typewriter is thinking? A series of delightful typewriter messages is what first brought me to this creative blog. When the typewriter isn’t dispensing wisdom, Peach Farm always reminds me that inspiration is everywhere.
