Creative Writer Blogger Award and One Writing Tip

Posted By on February 20, 2010

Okay, before I start, I just had to delete 1010 spams without checking through them for valid comments. This prompted me to install a WP additional spam plugin. We’ll see. If this doesn’t work, I’ll have to install a captcha or disallow comments altogether.

CreativeWriterLiarAwardNow, on to business!

I am so honored to be one of four awarded the Creative Writer (Liar) Award from the working editor herself LEA SCHIZAS! I’m thrilled!

THANK YOU LEA (Pen Perfect Associates). And be sure to check out Lea’s blog at:
http://thewritingjungle.blogspot.com

But with this award comes a great responsibility; here are the rules :

1: Thank the person who gave you the award and link to them.
2: Add the award to your blog
3: Tell six outrageous lies about yourself and One Truth.
4: Nominate six creative liars… I mean writers and post links to them.
5: Let your nominees know that they have been nominated.

Okay…Six lies and one truth? Hmmm…see if you can guess which one is the truth:

1- I eat chocolate every day.
2- I’m tall, thin and blonde (okay, that’s a give away!).
3- I love hot weather, the hotter the better.
4- I only smoke 1 cigarette a day, except Sunday’s, that’s my day of rest.
5- I run the New York Marathon every year.
6- Laughed when my husband slipped and fell flat on his back on a marble floor.
7- I love to watch reality tv.

That’s it, my six lies and one truth. Following in Lea’s footsteps, the first commenter to guess my one truth will receive a free e-book.

Now on to the nomination of my peers who are worthy liars…rather writers:

1. Carolyn Howard-Johnson (http://sharingwithwriters.blogspot.com)
For continuously helping other writers and marketers

2. Kathy Stemke (http://educationtipster.blogspot.com)
For making amazing strides in the writing world

3. Stephen Tremp (http://stephentremp.blogspot.com)
For having an amazing and interesting blog

4. Dana Donovan (http://www.danadonovan.com)
For being generous with his time and effort

I could go on and name at least another thirty writers or as Lea put it so aptly, wriliars! (hee, hee), but I’m limiting it to four.

Thank you again, Lea, for honoring me with this wonderful Lia..writers award, and for always making me laugh.

And, now for one writing tip:

“One of the bad things you can do to your writing is to dress up the vocabulary, looking for long words because you’re…ashamed of your short ones.” -Stephen King

Until next time,

    Thanks Karen for the award and kind words. I actually inherited this fine and prestigous award last week from Alex Cavanaugh.

    And I’ll guess:

    6- Laughed when my husband slipped and fell flat on his back on a marble floor.

    If it were a soft carpet you would probably laugh.
