Kreativ Blogger Award

4/25/2012

I'd like to thank the other nominees.  Seriously, Lorraine Paton has included me in an amazing group of writers by nominating me for the Kreativ Blogger Award with six other frighteningly talented ladies.  Thank you Lorraine!

Now for the details.  
The rules state that I must:


1. Thank the blogger who nominated me and link back to her blog.
2.  List 7 things about myself that the readers might find interesting.
3.  Nominate 7 other bloggers, provide links to their blogs, and let them know about their nomination.

7 things about me:

1.  I was home-schooled and graduated from high school at the age of 14.  Went on to complete two years of college before dropping out when I got married and moved.  Lest anyone wonder about what kind of education I got at home up until the age of 14, I would like to add that when I left college I had a 3.67 GPA.  The class reunions are pretty boring--just me and a mirror--but I don't have to share the pizza. ;)

2.  In addition to writing books, I also write songs and sing them.  I recorded an album under a stage name in 2004, using all my own music.  The music went by the wayside after the boys were diagnosed with their autistic spectrum disorders.  One of my songs can be heard here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig64WWFA0oQ 

3.  I like to design floor plans for homes, specifically castles.

4.  I'm a talented paper snowflake artist.  I don't use patterns so I never know what they're going to look like when they're finished.  I like to use gold or silver spray paint on them.  

5.  Two other career options I considered were lawyer and actress.  

6.  My unfinished WsIP include a gothic parody, bad romance novels (not making fun of the genre, just having fun with it), a stageplay, a Jane Austen fan fic, an untitled Regency story which may or may not be a romance, and several pieces whose identities and futures are as yet unknown to me.  I've got one that's just a single sentence.

7.   I know the postal abbreviations for all 50 states.  I'm not sure why I know them, but I do.

The nominees are:

Angela Quarles
Jes Langan
Kate Meader
Joanne Stewart
Sandra Sookoo
Sarah Balance
Ursula Grey

Wow, Kate! Not only are you the condensed writer, you've also had a condensed life -- graduating hs at 14. Your song, Even Heroes Need a Place to Cry, is beautiful. So is Molly Myles your stage name? Was that you singing?

Yes that was me singing, and playing the guitar. I actually think I sound better singing showtunes though. I'm such a geek. And thank you for the compliment on the song. It was dedicated to my brother-in-law who served three tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Ok, I don't know why the link to Sandra Sookoo's blog isn't working. According to the site editor it's linked. I'll try putting it here in the comments instead.

Ok now it's working. Technology does not like me. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Wow, this is SUCH an interesting list! I'm a floor plan junkie myself (and homeschool my kids, although I wasn't hs'd myself). We know the stats on states, too! Thanks for tagging me --- it's really cool to know these things about you! I'll get my post together for my next available date. ;c)

Wow! Your song is beautiful! I left a comment (WillowLive). I think you might be the pretender (from the TV series). You can do anything :-) !

Kudos on the award. That Lorraine is a sweetie. I have to do this, but won't get to it until next week.

When I click on your name, it takes me to your profile page--where I grin every time I see your bio paragraph. "...and enjoys writing about herself in the third person." :-)

Thank you, Teresa. You should check out some of PatronizedSaint's other videos. She put that one together using my song. She actually sings herself.

Glad you like the bio. One of these days I'll get some photographs done and upload them so people can see what I look like.

You are welcome! :)
I love your list - so many great things! I love floor plans too. I have my dream home entirely designed... in my head... but I'm pretty sure it couldn't be constructed. LOL

LOL Lorraine. My dream house keeps changing in my head. I go back and forth between Victorian, Colonial, and Castle. One of my favorite designs is actually a one-story Southwest inspired home. I call it Casa de Queso. ;)
