I Blog, I Write

The amazingly talented author, Elizabeth Spann Craig, awarded me her Blogging Writer Award. When I say, “her” award, I mean really hers. She created it. I’m lucky to take a picture that isn’t blurry, and here she is creating awards. Take a look at it:


Here’s what Elizabeth said inspired her to create the award:
Every day the online community of writers amazes me. I get so much encouragement and inspiration from the blogs that I read and from the wonderful commenters on Mystery Writing is Murder. Among the encouragement I get are awards for my blog. To me, they represent a “Good job!”—which I really appreciate.
I totally agree with her on that.

Here are Elizabeth’s rules for the Blogging Writer Award:
You can post this image to your blog…or not.
You may share this award with others…if you like.
You may adapt or alter this image in any way.
As you can see, I posted her award here for all to see. I have no plans to alter the image since, first of all, it is hers, second of all, I love it as is, and third of all, I know my limitations.

I planned to pass on the award, but Elizabeth had such an extensive list of writers she awarded that just about everyone I might have passed it on to was already on her list. What I do want to do is encourage you to click over to her blog post and pick out one or two on her list that you’ve never visited and go leave them a comment.

  1. Congratulations on the award. I thought Elizabeth did a great job on designing the award, too. I saved her extensive list of blogs in the hopes of visiting one or two new ones each day.

  4. "You may share this award with others…if you like"

    Best rule ever. I know the intent is pure, but a lot of these awards are basically chain letters.

    I am a little bitter about awards, because my "Foxy Redhead" award never spread the way I wanted it to.

  5. What a great award and so richly deserved. I enjoy Elizabeth's blog and read it almost daily. It is hard to read all the blogs I like daily and get any work done. LOL

  6. Congrats, and well deserved. Elizabeth gave me this one, too, and it is a very impressive list of bloggers to be counted among, pretty cool. I also just LOVE her "requirements" for using it ... nice and loose and Free Spirited (wink)

  11. Well done. It's bloody hard to keep doing interesting posts-why is why I've been getting help from guest bloggers like Laura Eno, who gave my blog it's most popular post ever!
