Blog – Page 47 – Jean's Writing

I’ve noticed more and more everyone appears to be on the same wave length. Not that I mind, because my in-box is overflowing with knowledge. However, I try and pick out the nuggets. As with all trends this one will soon fade and another take its place. So, I’m making notes and hope I won’t forget which file I’ve stashed all this wealth.

I’ve not had a lot of time to write, life happened, but I’m reading and studying. Maybe you’ll find some of these nuggets helpful too.

Ever have trouble with character names? Thanks to TWL, here is a fun one I hadn’t thought of: Use a combination of the names of your favorite authors. TWL is a blog with tons of great ideas for research. A new one for me was setting up Google Alerts.
Trouble writing about your life? Do it in 20 statements.
And of course, who of us hasn’t had trouble with the middle? Check out the Kill Zone blog for ways to navigate the muddy middle blues.
If you are looking for ways to describe emotion, weather, or negative traits the Writers Helping Writers is a must read.

There are tons more, but these offered something unique. If you’ve found a post, that has helped you in your writing, let me know. Let’s pass it on.

Thank you for the honor. Scott mentioned that some bloggers do not accept awards. I am not one of them. I accept all awards, from the prestigious, to the silly and anything in-between. I love bling of any kind. Thank you Scott.

You might note that Scott suggested to send out 15 blogger awards, I am only sending out 7. Sorry but oh well. If as Scott mentions below you are not into this type of fun, please ignore. To the others enjoy. I do love reading your blogs and hope you continue writing your nuggets of wisdom.

I got nominated for the Dragon’s Loyalty Award. I was nominated by a fellow blogger and reader of this blog, Scott L Vannatter! Which according to him, the Dragon’s Loyalty Award is a combination of both The Versatile Blogger Award and The Very Inspiring Blog Award. Thanks Scott… check out his blog >HERE <.

Now with anything there are rules:

1. Display the Award on your site

2. Announce it with a post and link to whoever presented your award

3. Present 15 awards to deserving Bloggers. I follow a lot of bloggers who do not accept awards, plus, I try to get newer ones brought in, so the list will be shorter and if you are not on it and wanted to be, I am so sorry…hmm…since it’s short, perhaps you can drop me a note.

4. Drop them a comment to tip them off after you’ve linked them to the post

5. Post 7 interesting things about yourself.

The Bloggers I honor are:

Becoming French with a Texas Flair

Cow Pasture Chronicles

The Other Side of the Story

About me:

I love reading scary books but don’t have as much time as I like to read them.
I’m a sweet aholic, Bluebell icecream is my weakness.
I’m crazy about my grandchildren and they have me wrapped around their little fingers.
I play the lotto, and dream of what I’d do with the winnings.
I’m the oldest of six kids.
I’ve dreamed of living in Hawaii.
