Versatile Blogger Award 2012
What a great way to start 2012!
This award is given to bloggers, by bloggers (another reason I love the blogging community).
Now for the details, here’s how it works:
- If you are nominated, thank the award giver and link back to them in your blog post
- Share seven things about yourself
- Pass this award along to recently discovered blogs you enjoy reading (some say to 15 some say to less than that.. I did 15).
- Contact your chosen bloggers to let them know about the award and post the award picture
I was awarded the Versatile Blogger Award by Kate (such a cool name!) at http://believeanyway.wordpress.com/2012/01/17/post-about-handing-out-versatile-blogger-awards/
and earlier by J.M. McDowell during the Christmas rush http://jmmcdowell.wordpress.com/2011/12/15/thank-you-the-versatile-blogger-award/
Thank you to Kate and J. M. for the award! I really appreciate it!
Seven things about me:
1. This is my first official public blog! I never had anything else to blog about so I never bothered before. I posted one for my own amusement but never tagged anything or connected with anyone really. I was really missing out!
2. If you asked me before 2007 if I would become a writer I would have said “no.”
3. I enjoy using my writers’ vocabulary in everyday conversation and it sometimes gets me strange looks, but usually people just think I’m smart (or a smarty-pants).
4. I am aware that I use way too many exclamation marks!!!!! It is a secondary affliction to my addiction to writing fiction!!!
5. I’ve been married for almost 16 years and I got married when I was 20. Yet somehow, I’m still 29….
6. My name was supposed to be just “Katie” but Mom was under anesthetic and Dad wrote “Katherine.”
7. I have been to Hawaii and St. Barths, both for work, and I prefer Hawaii.
Here are the 15 bloggers who deserve this award–they are sort-of in order of discovery. You should follow them all and read and/or comment on their most excellent posts!

Kate Policani 
Thank you so much! I will do my part when I return home next week. 🙂
Congratulations, Kate! You deserve these nominations.
Thanks, Maria! So do you!
🙂 Thank you!!! AAAAAAAAAH!!! I still need to do the last one. Thank you very much again. 😀
I melded two myself because of the craziness at Christmas.
Thanks!
For your readers, my tagline: “Clear writing advice, comprehensive book reviews, and author interviews”. And I’ve just extended my site to include my new editing services! 🙂 Check out the cheap specials.
Sounds pretty versatile!
Kate, thank you so much. You rock! I’m working on putting up my new post re: the award
Q 4 U: do the bloggers have to be new ones you discovered or some of them could be of people you already follow?
Thanks again!
You’re very welcome! I followed the example of the blogger who awarded to me and went through my comments list. Some were bloggers I’d recently met and some weren’t.
Got it. I have my post up as well. I didn’t know such award exists, but I guess it’s never too late to learn 🙂
Thanks again! You made my day.
Opps. Forgot to add the link

Just wanted to say thank you so much for the lovely award. I am without internet at the moment, as I’ve moved, so I will tell you here, 7 things about myself here, whilst I am connected long enough:
1 – I have larger than normal pupils that allow me to see better in the dark (optician confirmed)
2- I once had a chat with Sir David Attenborough after a lecture of his.
3 – Was a rock musician for years (80’s – and played bass)
4 – Have studied music, drama and science.
5 – Allergic to cats (sadly…I love them)
6 – Once cycled from London to Paris for charity
7 – I’ve lived in 3 different continents.
🙂
Wow! I hope your move is going smoothly! Thanks for including these facts!
