As a blogger, I don’t want to bore any innocent readers who may have stumbled over here and decided to keep reading. Therefore, I’ll spare you the details of my oh-so-busy life and the multitude of excuses for why I haven’t posted in more than a month.
This blog is my creative outlet, and I am always surprised and excited when someone comments on a post or follows me. Especially when I consider that someone a “real writer,” like the talented lady over at writemybrainsout.wordpress.com who found my blog and actually said I made her laugh. Though we’ve never met, her kind words about my writing encouraged me. She recently nominated me for this award, and I thank her.
Now, there are some strict rules about receiving this nomination, and they involve writing seven things about myself and nominating 15 other bloggers and not eating meat on Fridays or something. Anyway, I promised I’d spare you the excuses, so I’ll just apologize for not following the rules.
But, many thanks to writemybrainsout.wordpress.com for the nomination. And a quick shout out to a few other “real writers” who deserve recognition:
The Midwest League Traveler – I don’t even follow sports, but he’s writing a book and I can’t wait to read it!
Paige Kellerman – A formerly-battered employee who managed to escape and become an author. Watch for her book in June!
Erin Wright – Her encouragement of my writing means so much. Check out her fun spin on the world of editing. Seriously, it’s cool.
Battered Employee 
Thanks for the shout-out! Something I love about the writing community is how, in general, we all try to look out for each other in various ways, whether it’s helping a budding author or giving public kudos to someone we want to share with the world!
– The Midwest League Traveler
Thank you for the mention! You most definitely are a very inspiring blogger! But, I must chastise you for separating yourself from “real writers.” Lady, you most certainly are a REAL writer in every sense of the word. Embrace it!
