Finding Something Friday: Superior Scribbler Award!


What’s black and white and read all over?

An AWARD! Wheeee! Kelly H-Y sent along the Superior Scribbler Award to little old moi. I’m honored and happy to accept. Herewith the rules:

1. Each Superior Scribbler, must in turn, pass the Award on to 5 most-deserving bloggy buds.

2. Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author and name of the blog from whom he/she has received the Award.

3. Each Superior Scribbler must display the Award on his/her blog and link to this post which explains the Award.

4. Each blogger who wins the Award must visit this post and add his or her name to the Mr. Linky List at the Scholastic-Scribe’s blog. That way, we’ll be able to keep up-to-date on everyone who wins this prestigious Award!

5. Each Superior Scribbler must post these rules on his/her blog.

So, Rule 1, on whom I shall bequeath the Super Scribbler Award:

Donna at Donna’s Book Pub (because she’s Irish! Oh, and she lists tons of great markets!)
Shelli at Market My Words (because she’s a marketing genius and generous with the tips!)
Julie at Weekly Jules (because she makes me laugh out loud every single week!)
Margo at Read These Books and Use Them (because she reviews awesome children’s books!)
Lisa at In the Buff (because she’s started her new blog with a bang!)

Rule 2, wherein I link to the blog from whom this Award cometh:

Kelly at Cross Your T’s (who makes me smile and sigh with her story-telling)

Rule 3, wherein I link to the post explaining the Award.

Rule 4, wherein I add my name to Mr. Linky-List (Been there. Done that.)

And Rule 5, wherein I post all the rules and such. (Done and done.)

Wheee! Now, go forth and multiply, Superior Scribbler Award!

Finding Something Friday on Speaking Out and Sports

Two things you might not know about me but are about to find out, it being Finding Something Friday and all…

Thing One: I find it extremely difficult to work during the summer. My brain says, “THINK! WRITE! WORK!” But my imagination says, “SHUT UP AND PLAY!” So, I try to find writing projects that I can finish in a hurry. Writing projects with a pay-off. That’s why I love the WOW! Women on Writing’s “Friday Speak Out” feature. If you have something to say about women and writing, here’s your chance to speak out (in five hundred words or less). And guest blogging is a wonderful way to get yourself out there without having to actually get yourself out there. Thus, saving you time and money to spend on sitting at the beach, soaking up rays and such. Why, I could even think up something writer-ly whilst soaking up rays and such. Brilliant!

Thing Two: I like my sports. A lot. But I like to feel as if I’m actually doing something when it comes to sports. Not that I’m going extreme and actually playing a sport, but still. Doing something, you know? So, the contests at ESPN are perfect. I catch up on my fave team action,
sign up for the ongoing contests, and maybe win a prize. Brilliant!

Yeah, I know. What’s ESPN got to do with writing tips? Sorry. I’ve already reached maximum thinking capacity for this summer Friday. It’s your turn, now.
