THANKS MELISSA!

Melissa Bradley, over at Melissa's Imaginarium has awarded me this awesome  7 x 7 Award!

 I am so happy that Melissa thought to present this award to me and I sincerely thank her for doing so! She is awesome!

  
This has taken quite a bit of thought and time to put together to post and also to receive this award I am to abide by the rules below. So here goes:


RULE #1:
Tell everyone something that no one else knows about you


I hate to cook, but lucky for me I married a chef, so I don't go hungry!


RULE #2:
Link to one of the posts that I personally think best fits the following categories

Most Beautiful 

A Christmas Thought For All!
The Christmas poem featured in this post was sent, handwritten, on a Christmas Card to my Dad, from one of my Great Aunts. We are not certain whether she found the poem somewhere or whether she wrote it herself. She has an interest in writing poetry so the later could be a possibility! Anyway, I chose this as the most beautiful post, because the meaning in the poem is simply - beautiful!

Most Helpful

MY EXPERIENCE AS AN INDIE WRITER

This  post definitely had some very good points about publishing indie style!
Most Popular


I do not know why, but this post has had 639 hits, so I would say, from the figures that it was my most popular. The only thing I can think of which made it this popular was that Alex gave me a shout out on his blog! Thanks Alex!

Most Controversial

INDIE AUTHORS BE CAREFUL!

This has been the most controversial post I have written. It was when Amazon pushed for control of the eBook market!

Most Surprisingly Successful 
Tips for Publishing eBooks with Smashwords! 

This was one of my early posts, when I first started blogging and just after I had published my first novel with Smashwords. It has had  424 hits! I also won a coffee mug for being in the first top 30 entries from Smashwords!

Most Underrated

Challenge Issued: Paper Canvas Tapestries Collaborat​ions

As this challenge was to give author's and writer's a challenge to piece together work to benefit a charity, this has been the most disappointing post of all! Yikici  has only had three participants entering work to date, which I think is very sad.

Most Pride Worthy
  
I have two posts in this category, both important times involving the publishing of my book!

The Gratifying Feeling of Holding my First Book in Paperback

RULE #3:
Pass this award on to 7 bloggers

Gwen Gardner


Elise Fallson

Lynn Proctor

  5. Congrats on the award, CM. I found saying I decided to go Indie was somewhat controversial.
