Back to Blogging

Hi. My name is Alex and I am a Blog-Neglector. It has been 20 Days since I last blogged.

They say admitting it is the first step to recovery.

Despite my neglect, it seems Sandra at Worlds End Farm This and That has generously bestowed the Uber Amazing Blog Award upon me!

It is my pleasure to bestow it upon six others:

As for me, I have been busy with my writing. Serafina and Billy, the main characters, insist on telling their stories through me. Maybe I will share a snippet or two with all of you soon.

The puppy has turned my days into blurs of walking, writing and cleaning while he naps, training, and trips to the park. It is joyful, but has been all consuming.

I'm striving for balance and this blog post is a step in that direction.

Superior Scribbler

I have been blogging for a little over a year, but blogging regularly since June and more intensely since September. Being relatively new to blogging, I was flabbergasted and so very honored to receive the Superior Scribbler Award from Sandra at Worlds End Farm This and That.

There are some strings attached and they are as follows:
*
Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass the Award on to 5 most-deserving Blog Friends.
*
You must link to the author and name of the blog from where he/she has received the award.
*
You must display the Award on your blog and link to THIS POST, which explains the Award.
*
Each blogger who wins The Superior Scribbler Award must visit this post and add your name to the Mr. Linky List. That way, they will be able to keep up-to-date on everyone who receives this prestigious honor.You must post these rules on your blog.

Micha at Dandelion Daydreams. She juggles so many roles and so amazingly well.

Floreta at The Solitary Panda. I am moved by her honesty.

Starlene at Return to Myself. She just has a way about her and she has literally saved kittens.

K1 Teacher at A day in the life of a k1 teacher. Teachers deserve more recognition.

Char at Ramblins'. Beautiful Written. Beautifully Photographed.
