WritingThoughts Receives Thinking Blogger Award

April 26th, 2007 · 14 Comments

 

Yvonne at Grow Your Writing Business has awarded the Thinking Blogger Award to WritingThoughts.

Yvonne said this about WritingThoughts when she named the site for the award:

 “Writing Thoughts, who keeps me thinking about writing, and reminds me why I love it, from her virtual cubicle next door (even though we are on opposite sides of the world). She’s even popped over for a virtual coffee.”

Thanks for the compliment Yvonne! I’m glad you enjoy my blog. 

The Thinking Blogger award was created by Iker Yoldas over at the Thinking Blog. You can read more about the award here. Basically, the award is both recognition that the blog named makes people think AND a meme challenge to name five other blogs that make you think.

Now it’s time to pass the award on to five other bloggers who make me think. (I know I’m coming a little late to this meme, but thankfully I think that there are still some really good bloggers who haven’t been picked.) I nominate:

  1. Paula Neal Mooney, who is never afraid to say what she thinks. Thanks Paula for your honesty! Your posts definitely provide food for thought.
  2. KWiz at Women Walking in Wisdom’s Footsteps. Her blog continues to challenge and stretch me.
  3. Lillie Ammann at A Writer’s Words, An Editor’s Eye. Lillie’s posts are thorough and comprehensive. When Lillie writes about something, you can be sure that she has studied it thoroughly.
  4. Lisa Mills at Work at Home Mom Revolution. Lisa candidly and consistently provides resources and support for work-at-home-moms.
  5. Robert Hruzek at Middle Zone Musings. Robert’s musings manage to be both amusing and thought-provoking at the same time.

    Wow, Laura, that’s GREAT! Thank you so much! My mudda thanks you, my fodda thanks you…

    Uh, what does being tagged for this mean? Is there something I’m supposed to do? I mean, I know about Ilker’s award, but do I just wait for the Nobel, er, someone to… mail me a check or something?

    Hi Robert! Love the impression…

    If you do decide to wait for a check, don’t hold your breath.

    I think that you are supposed to post the little graphic on your blog. (I’ve seen some people put them in their sidebars, but I just put mine in the post.)

    Then, I think you are supposed to include a link to the originator of the award, Iker Yoldas. Finally, you get to pick five new victims, I mean awardees. The awardees should be bloggers whose provide thought-provoking contributions to the blogosphere.

    Yikes! Can everyone see the little graphic? On my machine it appears in IE, but not Firefox.

    Aha! I think I can manage that. Now let’s see… whom to cursebless now?

    Hi Laura. Congratulations on your Thinking Blogger Award. (Yes, I see the graphic.) I think you really deserve it because your informative posts come as a great help in improving one’s writing skills. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to everyone.

    Thank you soooo much for nominating me for this award.

    I’ll look forward to your entry Robert!

    Thanks for the compliment Rach.

    Paula, I glanced at your article yesterday (I was sort of absorbed in trying to fix the site at the time). I plan to read it more carefully this afternoon and start using some of the technorati tips. (Did you know I still have a handful of your AC articles bookmarked and I still refer to them on a regular basis? I even referred another ACer to one yesterday.)

    Congratulations! I agree that your blog does get me to thinking about writing. It’s a great resource too.

    By the way, I have tagged you for the productivity meme. 🙂

    Hi KWiz! Yes, as these blogs go around it gets harder to find bloggers that haven’t been awarded. Anyway, you deserved it!
