Awards
You may have noticed that I made a change or two in the way my blog looks. I have moved all the awards from my left sidebar to here. I’ve been thinking for sometime that I should remove them from my sidebar. Most are from my early days of blogging when people were into giving each other these things as a game. Most of them don’t mean all that much. But aren’t they pretty? I was kind of using them […]
Liebster Award
This award was given to me by TF Walsh Thank you TF Walsh! Usually these awards come with some kind of requirement – maybe something about which kinds of fellow bloggers I should pass it to, or how many, or some such. If this one has such things, they were long since gone by the time I got it. So I’m going to happily give it to some reading friends since bookish people are on my mind right now with […]

How to Accept an Award
Has someone (like me) passed along an Internet award like this one to you? Confused on what to do next? Keep reading. Awards of this variety are intended as both a compliment and a networking tool. They can be a great way for readers to discover new blogs: yours, the one who gave you the award, and all the people you like enough to give an award to. They also make all the blogs involved rise in the Google listings […]

Given by Emily Emily of Marvelous Recipes gave me this award. The rules are to list ten things that make me happy and to pass it on to ten people who make me happy. Things: 1. Getting to the end of a really good book, to a point where the hero and heroine (Yes, I’m talking Romances) are on the brink of despair when everything clicks into place and they triumph big time. 2. When someone leaves comments on my […]
I Won NaNoWriMo!
I pulled a long day yesterday, and got 6,000 words written, which put me over the finish line. Yippee! Most of you probably didn’t notice, but for the last month I’ve been in my “writing cave”. I’ve cut way back on the amount of time I visit other blogs. The only places I commented were on blogs of people who came to visit me first. I had to do this in order to get the word count done. To those […]

She has also made an effort to visit me regularly. I am proud to consider her […]
