I Got A Liebster Award

Posted by Rachel on March 26, 2012 in award |

 

Wow, I honestly did not expect to receive another one of these blog awards so soon. I can’t express how grateful I am for being nominated for it. A wonderful writer, Sheila Pierson awarded me with this gracious honor and now I have the opportunity to pass it along to other wonderful bloggers.

My understanding is that the Liebster Award is for those blogs with 200 followers or less, thus giving some much needed attention and blog love to those just getting off the ground. I find that wordpress blogs aren’t always truthful with the amount of followers, so I can’t tell who is under or over 200 whereas blogspot can have duplicates so I’ve given it to people I believe more people should read.

1. Kurt Chambers  http://geniusborderinginsanity.blogspot.com/ Not only does this man remark on the great questions of our world (always gets me scratching my head) but he is a spectacular supporter of other authors that more people should read.

2. Jase Rosenberg http://resurrectedwriter.wordpress.com/ It’s payback, buddy! Besides being a little ray of sunshine, Jase recently resurrected his talent and its worth the read every time.

3. Alle Wells http://allesreviews.blogspot.com/ If you’re looking for information on recently produced stories (maybe from people you know!), stop by her blog and read these great reviews.

4. Krystal Wade http://krystalwade.blogspot.com/ Among some humorous posts that are always entertaining, her blog is used for short fiction that is worth catching every week.

To Accept the Award:

1. Thank the person who nominated you on your blog and link back to them.

2. Nominate up to 5 others for the award.

3. Let them know by commenting on your blog.

4. Post the award on your blog.

Thanks you very much again, Sheila, and if you haven’t read her blog, I would suggest a visit there as well! Congrats new nominees, you all deserve it!

Review of Awake

Posted by Rachel on March 23, 2012 in review |

Two equally plausible outcomes to one tragic incident and yet, Detective Mike Britten cannot decipher which one is reality and which is a dream. Or could it be that in both worlds he is awake? The tag for this new drama on NBC caught me almost immediately. People like hooks and I’m no different. When […]

Dare to Look Back

Posted by Rachel on March 21, 2012 in anecdote, writing |

A friend told me about this post by Mike who dared to look back at his previous writing not only to show where he came from, but to display how he’s grown as a writer.  He challenged others to do the same. Meg, my aforementioned friend, posted her own response to this call. It sounded […]

I Was Nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award!

Posted by Rachel on March 19, 2012 in award |

I have to say, this is pretty sweet. Sweet in both the super cool (yet slightly poser-ish) teenager way, “SWWEEETTT” and sweet, the little old lady way, “Aw, ain’t that sweet.” I was nominated by Jase Rosenberg (find him here on twitter) who is hands down, the nicest and most encouraging writer I have met through […]
