Reading to Write

My Path to Becoming an Author

Award Alert! Award! Award!

Thank you, thank you.  I am so pleased to announce that Mary Lou Dickson of Dickson Images has nominated me for the Liebster Blog award.  Check out her totally awesome website filled with gorgeous photos she and her husband take on their travels, make comments, buy copies.  Read her fascinating account of chasing the eclipse.

I also want to thank Robert Brewer for introducing me to this wonderful group that is so supportive and encouraging to those of us just beginning to put ourselves out there.

Here’s the rules:

  1. Thank the person that gave you the award in a post on your own site
  2. Nominate up to five blogs with less than 200 followers
  3. Let the nominees know they’ve won by leaving a comment on one of their posts
  4. Add the Liebster image above so all your readers know that you are generally awesome.

Now, I’ve had a little difficulty with choosing my nominees.  First, I’m not always sure how to determine whether a blog has less than 200 followers.  I mean sometimes there are clues, but sometimes I’m guessing.  Second, I want to spread the love around.  Some of the blogs I follow have already been given three or four Liebsters and they definitely deserve the credit.  But I wanted to recognize those who have attracted less attention so far.  However, not everyone puts the image in a prominent location.  One blog that I love didn’t appear to have it, then in scrolling back through some of his posts, I found he’d gotten it three times in one week!

So, I’ve spent time this week going down my blogroll.  I only made it about half-way down before I found I had noted eleven blogs already and I had to start eliminating people.  I hate doing that.  We have so many awesome folks in our little group.  I must confess I haven’t visited each and every blog yet, so I’m sure there are deserving folks out there that I don’t even know about.

However, I’ve forced myself to make the choices and here they are in no particular order:

  1. Sara Vinas http://saravinas.blogspot.com/
  2. Lauren Miller http://www.laurenmillerbooks.com/blog/
  3. Kirra Antrobus http://kirraantrobus.blogspot.com/
  4. Susan Craig http://bysusancraig.wordpress.com/
  5. Laura Howard http://www.laurahoward78.blogspot.com/

If any of these nominees have more than 200 followers or have received this award before, I can only say mea culpa.  I love what they do and they deserve your attention.

Thanks again Mary Lou for this opportunity to recognize the awesomeness of some of my fellow bloggers.
