I found this post hidden on my dashboard and so I just wanted to thank my fellow bloggers who have given me awards during the past few months. Thank you Lynn! Thank You Danyelle! Thank you Katie ! The rules are to post six lies and one truth. Thank you Nancy ! Thank you to Steena at Chocolate Reality for the Sunshine Award!

Godiva, Anyone?

I finished my WIP! Last night was a scramble and though I wrote the end scene, this draft is pretty rough in terms of plot. I'm going to need to go back and beef up the external goal and external conflict of the story. In the meantime, there are some really cute Easter chocolates on the Godiva website. I went ahead and everyone who commented on my previous post because you all are wonderfully sweet and supportive. Finishing would take a lot longer if I didn't verbally create a deadline. The winner of Springtime Godiva is Karen Amanda Hooper ! Congrats Karen. :-) Now that the manuscript's rough draft is done, I know I have a lot of polishing ahead of me. What's your process after you complete the rough draft?

Buried

I desperately want to visit your blogs but right now I'm buried with family stuff and trying to finish my stubborn WIP. Thank you for stopping by and I feel horrible for missing out on your blog posts lately. Hopefully I can get back to the blogosphere soon! In the meantime, here are some thanks to kind bloggers who've given me awards: Thank You Danyelle! Thank you Nancy ! Thank you to Steena at Chocolate Reality for the Sunshine Award! I think it's time for another awards banquet! Have a happy weekend everyone.

Award Thanks

I got these awards a while ago and I'm sorry I'm just now putting them up. Thank you, ladies, for thinking of me! Thank you to Susan . Thank you MaryBeth ! I have to pass this on to Susan because I met her shortly after starting this blog and she has always been so faithful in commenting. Not only that, but she is diligent and loyal in compiling a weekly update with prayer requests and praises. Susan, you're a blessing to know. :-) Thank you Julie ! So many of you deserve awards! I'm watching my nephews and am a little busier, but I should be getting around to all of you today. :-)

Awards Banquet

Thank you to Steph , who inspired this banquet! :-) There are so many of you who deserve an award. I could never name all of you, but I appreciate every single person who comments on this blog. I tried to match up the awards with blogs that I think embody the feel behind that award. Also, I didn't follow the rules for any of them. Sorry about that! And if you've already gotten the one I gave you, I'm sorry, and if you don't post it or play with it, that's totally fine with me. So here they are! Kathryn Deb Tabitha Danyelle Donna Keli Susan Elana Terri Tiffany Tamika Jeanette Karen Penny Angie Janna Jody MaryBeth Dara Sarah Kristen Wendy Genny Anita Eileen Katie Sandie Sherrinda Have you received any awards? Which one is your favorite? Which one do you wish someone would give you? Do you even care?

I'm looking forward to passing these on verrrry soon. *grin* Thank you, Julie ! Julie's blog has been spotlighting her Nano experience. Interesting stuff for someone like me, who's never Nanoed. Thank you, Stephanie ! She has a new blog and always posts interesting, conversation-starting topics. Thank you, Jennifer ! Her blog always has a weird news report and it usually makes me laugh. Thank you, Dara ! Dara posts about some really cool Japanese myths, names and facts. Thank you, Jeanette !

Secondly, Thank you to Megan Rebekah for awarding me Karen Hooper's all-original And thank you to Danyelle for giving me the Finally, I just want to say how honored and excited I am to "talk" with you all. Really. Not everyone has a dream. I know people who, when asked, don't know what their dreams are. A vision, and dreams are so wonderful and I love sharing this journey with all of you. If someone asked you what your dreams for the future are, would you tell them you want to get published? Or do you have other dreams besides this rollercoaster adventure?
