Blog Awards and Giveaway

I used to work as a Ride Operator at Six Flags Great America. On slow days, some of the rides (usually the non-roller coaster types) experienced lulls with nearly empty queue lines. Occasionally, the same riders looped around to ride over and over again.

I liken Friday’s #queryclinic to one of those rides on one of those days with me being the only rider. So—for the time being—#Queryclinic, the Ride will close due to LOI (or lack of interest).

But to make Friday a celebratory day nonetheless, I have decided to share two blog awards I recently received:

The Versatile Blogger Award from Shawna at My Journey.

If you have not yet visited Shawna’s blog, you absolutely need to head over there. She blogs about her writing journey with grace and humor. I know she is destined for great things.

and

The Creative Blog Award from Nutschell at The Writing Nut.

Her blog is filled with information and insightful posts. I could spend hours perusing her site. It is a must-see! So head on over to visit her, as well.

Thank you both for bestowing the awards upon me. I am very grateful and honored!

Also, I am offering a YA Book Giveaway in celebration of 100 posts/100 Followers. All you have to do is be a follower and leave a comment. So click here to enter. The giveaway ends Wednesday, July 6^th.

May Blog Awards

The A to Z Challenge hosted by Arlee Bird at Tossing It Out was a great learning experience for me. I discovered the importance of thinking outside the box when it comes to making blog posts. More importantly, I met so many incredible people in cyber space.

I want to thank everyone who visited and took time to make comments. Additionally, I want to thank Elizabeth Mueller  for the “I Survived the 2011 A to Z Blogging Challenge” Award.

I also want to thank Dawn from That Girl From Around the Bay  for the “I’m A Blogging Star” Award.
