I moved to Los Angeles umpteen years ago to pursue acting. Yes, it’s cliche, but it’s the truth. I let that dream go a number of years ago in pursuit of a better one… to be a writer. And that’s a dream I’ve achieved, which is pretty cool. But I have to admit that from early childhood I’ve fantasized about winning an award in addition to a paycheck for my creativity. I obsessively watched the Oscars, Emmys and Golden Globes before learning that many of the results have more to do with advertising dollars than merit. I thought up speeches and wardrobe choices and potential red-carpet dates. I practiced the hand wave, and how I would restrain myself from punching out Joan Rivers. So just imagine my thrill at actually winning an award! That’s right, ladies and gents, I have been honored with the Superior Scribbler Award.
Okay, so I received it while sitting on my couch in my sweatpants and trolling my favorite blogs, but I did do a little booty shaking in celebration. And here go the obligatory thanks — or in this case, the eligibility requirements for the kudos…
- Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass the award on to 5 most-deserving bloggers.
- Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author and the name of the blog from whom he/she has received the award.
- Each Superior Scribbler must display the award on his/her blog, and link to this post, which explains the award.
- Each blogger who wins the Superior Scribbler Award must visit the linked post and add his/her name to the Mr. Linky list. That way, we’ll be able to keep up-to-date on everyone who wins this prestigious honor.
- Each Superior Scribbler must post these rules on his/her blog.
And I’d like to pay it forward by awarding the following most deserving bloggers with a very awesome Superior Scribbler Award of their own, in no order of preference:
- Lemmonex, who makes me actually want to cook, and move to D.C. so we can be IRL friends.
- Gwen Bell, whose wisdom, talent and inner beauty inspire me to be more present in my life.
- Nat at Book, Line and Sinker, whose passion for all things literary makes me giddy.
- Joe and Betsy, whose culinary skills and all around radness (yes, I just used that word) make me wish I could be a frequent guest at their dinner parties.
- Cotts at The Bon Vivant’s Companion, who makes me frequently consider becoming an alcoholic, in the best possible way.
