The Versatile Blogger Award

I was truly honored and floored today when I read Vivian Zabel's post and realized she just awarded me the Versatile Blogger Award. Thank you, Vivian.The award, however, comes with some work and rules, however:

1. Thank those who loved me enough to bestow this gift.
2. Share seven things about myself.
3. Bestow this honor onto 15 newly discovered or followed bloggers–in no particular order–who are fantastic in some way.
4. Drop by and let my fifteen new friends know I love them.


Wow, easy enough...yeah right. There are so many bloggers that I love but first my seven shared things about myself:

1- I joke about feeding my kids Kelloggs everyday. The truth is I feed it to them every second day.

2- Many think of me as an angel but I can be a bad ass if I wanted to but choose NOT to be one.

3- I cry often not because it helps to clear my eyes but because I miss my dad horribly.

4- One person almost completely destroyed my passion for this writing world but thanks to many cyber friends I quickly snapped out of it.

5- I detest, hate, completely toss my guts continuously whenever I hear or read how an author was dissed by a publisher or editor.

6- I now delete emails and do not bother answering writers who feel the need to bash me because I am offering too many workshops, offer it for free, or believe they have every right to have access to the Muse Online Writers Conference a day before it begins.

7- I am one person--not twins or triplets, but one person who has decided that life is too short to bother with ignoramuses and wants to be there for as many writers as possible while my eyesight and sanity is still in tact.

And now for the 15 blogs that I feel deserve this award:

1- Kat Holmes who openly helps promote fellow authors, regardless which house they belong to.
2- Ginger Simpson because she's down to earth and a hoot!
3- Krista D. Ball because her posts are really off the wall at times.
4- Penny Ehrenkranz because she openly invites and hosts authors with a big heart.
5- Roseanne Dowell because she's fiesty, and speaks her mind, and I don't want to get caught in the crossfire. GRIN
6- Rebecca R. Russell because her marketing level surpasses my energy
7- Karen McGrath because she has a good blog but needs this award to move on it more. GRIN
8- Lin Holmes because I love her monkey and ramblings.
9- Delilah Stephans because I love her oomph and straight in your face post about ebook piracy that everyone should read.
10- Rhobin Courtright because her ramblings are about this and that, a great and different read.

11- Chastity Bush because she's just too damn cute.
12- Donna McDine because she's so diligent in whatever she does and deserves this award.
13- J. Kennedy because this woman is the inspiration to many.
14- Karen Cioffi because she works hard at anything that she does.
And #15 is a combo because I couldn't decide but have to give kudos to the writers of the Muse in both divisions for their constant and interesting blog postings on:
MuseItUp
MuseItHOT

Again thank you Vivian for this award and I'll now hop on these blogs and surprise my own winners.
