The Liebster Award

Today, my new blog buddy A. Catherine Noon nominated me for a Liebster Award. From the post on her blog I learned that:

The Liebster Blog Award is an award offered to upcoming bloggers. The German word Liebster is a word for favorite, dearest, beloved, sweetest, cutest, nicest, kind, and pleasant.



Here are the rules:

1. post 11 things about yourself

2. answer the questions that the nominator has set for you and create 11 questions for the people you've tagged to answer

3. choose 5 people and link them in your post

4. Go to their blogs and tell them in a comment

REMEMBER, No tag backs!

11 Things About Me

1. I love the aroma of coffee, but I don’t like to drink it.

2. I am also not a morning person, but the older I get, the less I can stay up late, so I guess I’m now a ‘middle of the day’ person.

3. I love to take long walks. Walking is a form of meditation for me.

4. I’m a life-long sci-fi fan.

5. I’m a chocoholic.

6. I spent most of my life despising celery, until about a week ago. Now I love it.

7. I used to consider myself a ‘dog’ person, now I’m a ‘cat’ person.

8. I can’t go into a movie theater late. I need to be there before the previews start.

9. I taught myself to like mustard.

10. I just started Tweeting, but I don’t Facebook.

11. I’m suspicious of Siri. I don’t like electronic devices to talk back.


My nominator didn’t post new questions to me, so I’ll answer the ones from her post:

1. Why did you start blogging?

It seemed like a great way to feed my need to write a little non-fiction now and then.

2. How has blogging affected your life?

I’ve met a lot of great people, but it’s also a huge time-suck.

3. Would you call yourself a 'blog-addict'?

Nope.

4. Which two words describe your personal style perfectly?

Shabby chic.

5. What is your favorite time of the day and why?

9:00 PM That’s when my writing work day ends.

6. What is your inspiration in life?

All kinds of art inspires me.

7. How do you plan to spend the next three years?

I hope to launch a new romance series, and make enough money to pay off my bills and take a decent vacation.

8. What is your favorite time of the day? Why?

See question 5.

9. Which blogger inspires you the most in the blogging world?

I’ll have to get back to you…
