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.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.
You may share this award with others…if you like.
You may adapt or alter this image in any way.
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.
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.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Elizabeth did do such a nice job :) I haven't made it through her list yet - maybe over the holidays.
ReplyDeleteYou're so nice! I had SUCH a hard time designing that thing. I should know my limitations, too! :)

"You may share this award with others…if you like"
ReplyDeleteBest 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.
Well deserved!!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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
ReplyDeleteCongrats, 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)

You SO deserve this award, Helen! Not only do you blog daily but you always have something interesting and informative to say.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of keeping it to ourselves. : P
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!

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!
ReplyDeleteI saved the list as well. Could I create such an award? Never in a million years. Congrats on receiving another one, Helen. You've got a terrific blog!

I thank you all for your sweet comments about me. And Elizabeth for sure deserves a good helping of awe for her skills (and her great blog)!
ReplyDeleteKudos on receiving this Award. So well deserved, with your wealth of publishing information that you so generously share with us!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a nice award!
ReplyDeleteApplause to you, Helen! You are so wonderful and generous with information and support; you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteKudos to you, Elizabeth, for your awesome design!
Congratulatons, Helen. I think Elizabeth created a very classy award logo and her rules are the best ever!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your congratulations to me (and to Elizabeth).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, and I'll head on over to her post.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a well deserved award! And what a nice thing for her to do, letting you "pay it forward" and award it to others if you want.
