Sunshine Award & Fabulous Blog Ribbon

07/05/2012

Sherry Isaac, sassy writer extraordinaire who blogs at http://sherryisaac.com/ , awarded me the Sunshine Award. She is a blogger who keeps me grinning with her witticisms. Of course, she's also full of sunshine. That's why she had the award in the first place. Pay her a visit, and you'll be hooked. (Dear Sherry- I left the "u" in each word in your honour.)

Here we go:

Favourite colour: Red.
Favourite animal: Cairn Terriers. I love all dogs, but I'm partial to cairns.
Favourite number: 7. No reason.
Favourite drink: Coffee. Espresso. Cappuccino. Latte.
Facebook/Twitter Locations: Facebook Twitter
Favourite passion: Reading. I'll read almost anything.
Giving or Receiving: Giving. There is nothing better than making someone's day with just the right gift.
Favourite pattern: Toile. black & white, brown& white, red & white...
Favourite day of the week: Saturday. Do you really need a reason?
Favourite flower: Roses. I 'm not familiar with different flowers. Once in Seattle, I went to the fish market and saw the most heavenly assortment of flowers. It was amazing. I didn't know so many flowers existed until that day.

The talented thriller/suspense writer Tara Tyler bestowed a Fabulous Blog Ribbon on my blog. She's pretty fabulous with her mad haiku writing skills, so I can see how she earned this ribbon. She blogs at http://taratylertalks.blogspot.com/ . So, go visit her blog and make it a regular one on your reading list!

Five fabulous writing moments:

Writing the first chapter
Finishing the first draft
Creating an entire background about a make-believe person
Finding just the right word or phrase
When everything comes together magically

Five things I love about writing...

Connecting with your characters
Not being able to stop writing when you are on a roll
Having such a great support system of fellow writers online
Reading a good reader review
Imagining the next scene in your head

Five things I hate about writing...

Lack of time
Cutting scenes/chapters
Editing
Editing
Did I say editing?

I'm awarding five bloggers with both the Sunshine Award and the Fabulous Blog Ribbon. Why? Because these writers certainly spread sunshine with their words.Their blogs are wonderful, and they are Fabulous Blog Ribbon worthy. They are welcome to indulge us with answers to the questions above if they like. Please go visit these bloggers and see why they are so special!

I hate editing too. Which is sort of funny since I DO IT FOR A LIVING. But I hate editing my own stuff. It's really hard.

Hi Brinda, now you know I own a Lab, but my folks have always had terriers. In fact, my dad fell in love with Cairns on the last dog. If they get another one, I know that's what he'll be looking for. That dog was amazing, I swear it could climb trees!

That lack of time one is a constant pain in the arse! I guess it would be worse if I was on a deadline. Oh...to be on a deadline! :)

Soooooo fun to read more about you, Brinda! Your time in Seattle with the flowers sounds so fun. And no doubt about the finishing the first draft/first chapter accomplishments ;) And ditto to the lack of time! Nothing worse than to be in writer mode and unable to sit down and put those words to paper. :)

No surprise to me that you are in receipt of multiple blog awards, Brinda!

Reading as a passion? Why didn't I think of that?

Congrats on the awards. I love the color red and I consider myself a giver.

I love finishing first drafts. It's a great feeling. Revising is my favorite part. Editing is my least favorite.

Well deserved, Brinda, you are a blogger extraordinaire! Always fun to learn a bit more about everybody.

I love character building too and the revision stage when the writing starts to look decent.
