I was nominated for the Black Cat Blue Sea award by the amazing and talented Sheryl. She has a wonderful blog worth following at https://biaatlas.wordpress.com/author/biaatlas/

This is an award given and received by fellow bloggers and is meant to be fun. If any nominees are not interested in participating you don’t have to, I wont be offended.

The rules are as follows:

The questions I was asked to answer:

1  What has blogging done for you as a writer?

Blogging has given me focus and the drive to write every day. Before I started my blog I wrote only when I thought I had an idea. Now I push myself a little harder – not forced, just a gentle nudge.

2  What are your 5 top favorite movies and or books?

I love both and think they’re a great form of communication so from 5 – 1:
Movies: Apollo 13, Bull Durham, The Princess Bride, Joshua (2002), Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Books: No Exit, The Giving Tree, Mister God This Is Anna, The Alchemist, The Little Prince

3  What/who inspires you to write?

Inspiration is sometimes a personal thing but I do have a few friends who supported me as I began my journey as a writer. They were my cheerleaders when I wanted to quit. When I get stuck I always think of them.

 My seven nominees are:

Live, Laugh, Love Writing
Mrs. Completely
mySestina
Roberta Pimentel

Second Time Blogger
Beyond The Garden

Questions for my nominees:

1)  Why did you start blogging?
2) What do you do when you need to unplug and relax?
3) Name 3 people you admire and one of the qualities you admire in them.

Thank you Sheryl for this award. It was very fun!!
