Lovely Blogs

Last week the lovely Maria, at  Wub2Write  shared a wonderful award with the Critique Sisters.  It's called the One Lovely Blog Award, and its rules for recipients are:

post the award on your blog and link to the blogger who gifted you with it,

pass the award on to fifteen blogs you have newly discovered, and

contact your recipients to let them know they've received the award.

Done, done, and will be done asap!

Receiving the award was, well, lovely, and selecting new recipients to pass it to was a truly enjoyable exercise. I scanned through the blogs I've noticed over time, and those of the people who comment on them as well as on this one (I read all the comments all the time), to find names I've come to recognize and look forward to seeing. Some of them, I've known about for quite a while, I admit. Some of them really are new to me. All of them caused me to think, perfect! This person writes a Lovely Blog and deserves an Award!

I thought fifteen was a lot, but when I got busy looking, I realized there are so many more that deserve such an award!! So I hope each of the wonderful bloggers I found will enjoy their process, too, and will identify many more blogs we can all enjoy and learn from.

Without further ado . . . here are the newest recipients of the One Lovely Blog Award:























Thank you, Maria! If you haven't checked out Maria's blog, be sure to go to it and read the one about her going undercover as a Lunch Lady at a middle school to get the inside scoop. That's dedication.

Happy Blogging, everyone.

    Linda, Thanks for sharing such incredible blogs. I could make a job out of reading blogs and never have time for anything else. And you know I'll go check each of these out.

    You're welcome, Sonia! Love your post on versioning, and kept seeing myself surrounded by piles of drafts in different versions. Scary but somehow comforting. . .hmmmm. Thanks for writing such an interesting blog.
