Sunshine and Quillfeathers

Daniel's quote for the day...
"Stop all this mucking about and wingeing, darling, and start writing."



Let's pretend we're at the Oscars and that I'm Steve Martin since I have some outstanding awards to present. Laurel, at Laurel's Leaves, gave me this wonderful Sunshine award! She is such an intelligent, insightful writer, and I am so flattered that she thought of me. Visit her blog, if you don't tune-in already! Thanks again, Laurel!

I follow a vast number of blogs on Blogger. I may not comment on each and every one all the time, but I alternate and read a large number each day. I've made some wonderful discoveries lately! While I obviously think all my blogging buddies deserve one of these lovely daisies, I have bestowed it upon this sunny group of people.

You are such talented, amazing people! Your blogs are always educational for me. I think differently or find something to smile about after visiting with you. It's like taking a virtual vacation. Make a quick trip over and visit these ladies. You'll see what I mean.

The amazing Jemi gave me the Quillfeather. I like Roosters! They are snappy dressers and definitely have a strut. Jemi is one of those rare, cool people you admire and wish you resembled. Receiving a Quillfeather from her is like finding the golden ticket. Visit Just Jemi. Her blog is one of the best!

Daniel Craig, my muse, is tapping me on the shoulder and telling me to move along. According to him, he has a life outside of just inspiring me... (Sheesh. A muse with an attitude and a Glock.) Oh, now he's rolling his eyes. That's it. I've done it. Alright, I'm supposed to tell you how I like my eggs. How do I not like eggs? That might be simpler. Benedict is my very favorite. I look forward to Eggs Benedict each Mother's Day.

Here are the next recipients of the beautiful Quillfeather.....

Love these blogs, dear readers! You can't be a real contender for publication without visiting them. No agent will even look at you, let alone your writing, if you pass them by! Seriously. They are so good. Do yourself a favor and check them out today.

I haven't commented often at Constant Revision and I think Simon Larter is unplugged now, but he writes so very well! He totally deserves a rooster. Go to his blog and read some of those installments. Great !

I'm putting off announcing my contest for another two weeks. Until then, I'll be ruminating on the contest specifics! It's going to be a give-back-to-my-blogger-buddies event.
Happy Writing!

  8. Blushing over here. Thanks for your kind words.

    I need to get a snarky Brit to come pester me and shame me out of my dithering. Perhaps I can convince my MC's dead dad to haunt me too. Uh-oh, here he comes. Blimey, Graham, I will stop commenting on blogs in just a moment! :-)

  9. Congrats, love! (That was me being all British like DC because my muse is British, too... but he hasn't made his appearance on my blog yet).

    Thanks - I'll have to go check out more blogs! Terrible that they distract me from writing like they do, but ya know? Fun. And valuable. I learn a lot. I wish they'd write for me. :)

    And all of the 8 things I posted are true. :)

  15. Roxy,
    Many, many thanks for the Sunshine Award! If there's anything I could use more of right now here in London is some sunshine. Thank you for sending some my way. Isn't it great making new friends? I'm really happy that we have found each other in the blog world, and look forward to sharing more in the weeks to come. Watch for a thank you on my blog next week!

    Wishing you a sunny weekend....

  17. I posted my eye...I mean muse today, as well. Speaking of Brandon and his rooster.... Er, did I type that out loud? Ahem. I apologize, my behavior wanes toward the end of the week. Let me try that again.

    Thank you so much for the kind words and the award. They mean a lot.

    I'm hoarding again, but keep checking, cause you are on my next list whenever I get it out ;)
