Reader Appreciation Award

Hi, everyone! I am officially back from vacation! I was so pleased to see that my scheduled posts made it up alright and that people seemed to enjoy them.

I received a surprise when I got back from the beach and checked my email. I had received the Reader Appreciation Award from the beautiful Yawatta Hosby! Thanks so much, Yawatta! I am ultra flattered by your sweet nomination!

Here are the rules for recipients of this award:

The Questions for Reader Appreciation Award

1.  What is your favorite color? 

• Wow…hard question. I am a color freak. Hmm…I could probably nail it down to leafy green.

2.  What is your favorite animal?

• The mysterious wolf (and rabbit…–I’m really indecisive in case you haven’t noticed…)

3.  What is your favorite non-alcoholic drink?

• Green tea

4.  Facebook or Twitter?

• Facebook. I don’t have a Twitter yet (but it’s coming! As is a Facebook page for L.M. Sherwin books!)

5.  Favorite pattern?

• Let me see…I love stripes and crisscross patterns (like on storybook cottage windows.)

6.  Do you prefer getting or giving presents?

• Getting. Unfortunately, I LOVE to give presents, but I am not terribly good at it. I have this strange inability to give people gifts that they actually want unless I nearly burst blood vessels in my brain trying. Last Christmas, I FINALLY gave my husband the presents he wanted and he loved them (and we’ve been together for nearly a decade)! So, I’d say getting, not because I’m selfish, but because I’m mildly handicapped at giving good gifts, LOL.

7.  Favorite number?

• 711

8.  Favorite day of the week?

• Saturday

9.  Favorite flower?

• White irises and tulips (there’s that pesky indecision again!)

10.  What is  your passion?

• Writing (pretty obvious, huh?)

My Nominations: 

• Amanda Hocking (so amazing!)
• Flogging the Quill (an awesome editor and writer who gives GREAT writing advice!)
• Therese Walsh (an accomplished author who also contributes to Writer Unboxed)
• Maiedae (not a writing blog, but an awesome entrepreneurial//graphic design site!)
• Pulchritude Fest (again, not a writing blog, but it’s a part of Maiedae, so I gotta shout out to my Maiedae girls!)

I hope you all enjoyed the Reader Appreciation Award questions! For those of you that were nominated, I know you guys//gals are very busy and there is absolutely NO pressure if you can’t get around to answering the questions. However, I wanted to show my appreciation for all of you out there who inspire me to be the best writer and dreamer that I can be!

Thanks for stopping by!
