It’s been an amazing day for me. Last night I was unexpectedly awarded this, and this morning I found another kind blogger had awarded me the Sunshine Blogger Award too! I want to give them both the attention they are due, so I’m acknowledging both in separate posts.
Thank you very much, Anne J, for giving me this award. I really appreciate the support you have given me and I think your blog is awesome. You are a great photographer. Readers, her blog really is great – you can find it here, at Food-Travel-Tour.
My Answers to the questions:
Why I started blogging
I’d wanted to blog for a while but I could never really think of anything to say. Then a site called Bubblews came along, and at the beginning it paid people a penny a view, like, and comment. I made about a hundred dollars from that site, over a couple of years, and eventually things went downhill and the place closed their doors. However, the promise of a small payout kept me writing, two or three little posts a day, and that got me into the habit.
Then I started a personal blog – mostly with the posts I’d saved from there. It was pretty forgettable, really. But I learned and it grew. I’m still learning. I found my question that needed to be answered, put some focus into the blog. I’m going to keep on making it better until blogging goes the way of the dodo bird.
Seven random facts about myself
I once took my notes in an art history class with a bamboo dip pen and bottled ink.
I soloed an airplane before I drove a car by myself.
I lived for a month and a half in the Nevada desert, in a tent, with my partner and two cats.
I really like hummus on dry ramen block.
I wrote an entire novel between calls at a call center, then published it.
I started reading at two.
I didn’t start watching TV till I was six.
Nominees:
The blogs I have chosen for recognition all have something valuable to offer. They are a varied offering, and each blogger has shown versatility in their approach. I’ve found valuable information, instruction or amusement in each one. If any don’t like awards or find that they are too annoying or cluttering, please feel free to ignore this nomination, but I hope you accept my sincere admiration.
