I’d like to thank Angel at The Mirth of Despair for this award. It was extremely thoughtful of her to gift me with this.
As per the rules, I am required to share seven facts about myself. So, here are seven randomly chosen facts:
- I am currently using The Hunger Games Soundtrack as my backdrop for writing. I write better when I’m listening to music, but it has to fit the mood. I think The Hunger Games is all around inspirational.
- I am currently in love with the following song:
- On a more serious note, I wage a war against alcoholism. I have talked about it briefly, but it’s actually very real, daily battle.
- I actually have two different colored eyes. One is a blue / grey and the other is a green/ gold. It’s hardly noticeable.
- I have a son with Pervasive Development Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified.
- Some of you are newer and unaware of the unique relationship I have with my husband, Xan. Xan and I were actually very good friends for five years prior to being romantic. If I had advice for anyone single, it would be this. Marry your best friend. Because when the romance melts away, you still have a solid friendship to lean on.
- I have never been very good at being single. And I’ve usually avoided it as most costs. Nothing scares me more than having to be alone with myself.
My Nominations:
Again, I’d like to thank Angel for nominating me for this lovely award. It is a huge deal to me and means the world. I appreciate all of your awards and sentiments.
Per the rules, I have to share one important thing about myself:
I am naive, jealous, and terribly insecure. I just want to put that soft, vulnerable side out there for people to see. I know it’s not always evident, but there is so much storm going on beneath this surface.
And then there’s the business of nominations:
- Manic Monday
- Mental Health Writer’s Guild
- Seasons Change, and so Have I
- …But She’s Crazy
- Struggling with BPD
- Angel’s Blog
Angel has been entirely too generous over the last year when giving awards. Honestly, I don’t know if I’m so deserving, but I appreciate every last award. Especially this one. This award makes me feel as if my writing is worthwhile, like it means something to my audience. Sometimes, I really do have to wonder. I mean, in those dark moments where I torment myself with my stats.
This is really the ray of sunshine in my day. Thank you for this award, however long ago it was given. I appreciated it then, and I hope that it still stands today.
