Passing on the Kreativ Blogger Award

Yay, another go-round with the Kreativ Blogger Award. :-) Thanks to our Wednesday Prompt producer, Nicole Pyles for including me.


The number is 7 - 7 facts about me, then 7 bloggers to pass the award to.

The fun facts are (in no particular order):

1)  I changed my degree program five times during college, yet still graduated within 4 years with a B.S. in Family and Child Development

2)  I will only kill an insect if it's inside my house.

3)  I don't like going to the movie theater. I can't pause the movie, (I think) the screen is too big and dI can't yell at the characters.

4)  I didn't play video games until I was 24.

5)  When I was in middle school, my mom banned me from reading books under 500 pages because I read so quickly.

6)  The first 500+ page books my mom bought me were the Magic's Pawn series by Mercedes Lackey.

7)  Those books are what inspired me to write novels.

And no, that's not cheating. Though 5-7 are one story, they are 3 different facts. ;-)


And the blogger's I'm going to award are:









So there are my double sevens. Be sure to check out the blogs above, then comment below and tell me a quick fact about you - or make fun of any of mine. ;-)

    I was the same in school, read all too quickly, and wasn't allowed to attend the 'Read books" contest my school had. (We got diplomas for every 1k words we'd read)

    Anyway, great post, great way of learning something knew about someone.

    Keep up the great work, and have a lovely day.

      Thank you, Chessny. :) It's good to know I wasn't the only one. I discovered much later that I missed out on a lot of good YA books because of the 'rule,' but at the same time, I read a lot of things my friends never will.

    Hi Carrie,
    Thank you very much for passing on this award to me. The facts about you are very interesting. It is wonderful that you write novels. I need to learn how to read books quickly!:) Would you believe that I have never played a video game?! I should have a go at it one of these days!:) Have yourself a wonderful weekend and I wish you continued success with your writing.

      The trick to video games is to chose a story you like. My favorite are the Kingdom Hearts games where you get to play with Goofy and Donald and rescue princesses. ;)

      I'm glad you like the award. I think more people could use your inspirational site.

    Hi Carrie! Thanks for the award. It was such a pleasant surprise. Good to know those 7 things about you. I think we pretty much have the same story - lover of books which drove us into story writing. Maybe someday we'll read each others' books :)

      You're welcome!

      (What's #3 ... Oh, yeah.) Yeah, I'll only do the movie theater if it's a group thing. I cry a lot,, too, and that's always touch and go in public. ;)
