During the last two weeks, I’ve been rather surprised at how many awards have come my way. First I received the One Lovely Blog Award from Scriptor Obscura

then the Liebster Blog Award from Christy from Poetic Parfait

then the Candle Lighter Award from Lostupabove

and just the other day Sandy from Sandylikeabeach nominated me for the Kreativ Blogger Award.

A great big thank you to all of you. I really appreciate the support you give me through these awards, and it gives me a great boost of self confidence to know that you enjoy my writing. I hope you will enjoy all my future posts just as much.

Now I will have to admit that I’m going to break a few rules…
I will not break any rules for the One Lovely Blog Award and the Candle Lighter Award, but that is only because those awards do not have any rules…
Every rule there is I will break. Or at least bend.

First: I will only nominate ONE new blog for each award.
Second: The Kreativ Blogger Award says that I have to share ten things about myself… I will write five.

So, the five things:

1. I have always had a love for wolves and dogs.

2. I studied English at university for a year, now I study mathematics. (But I still want to be able to live off my writing)

3. I like computer games with humour. I just finished playing one called Psychonauts where I had to enter people’s minds to fight their inner demons and sort out their emotional baggage. The humour in that game was wonderful 🙂

4. I’ve just bought a Leonard Cohen CD exclusively for the two songs: ‘First we Take Manhatten’ and ‘Everybody Knows’

5. I think my favourite author is Mervyn Peake. His descriptions are fantastic and his characters are always twisted and often hilarious. I hope to be able to write like him one day…

And now back to the good part:
The nominations!

For the One Lovely Blog Award I’ll nominate literarychicks78  at The Squirrel’s Eye for her wonderful writing where the humour is never far away.

For the Liebster Blog Award I’ll nominate H. E. Ellis for all the fun I’ve had reading her posts and especially for the opening of her book The Gods of Asphalt.

For the Candle Lighter Award I’ll nominate Stan at Art of the Stem for his interesting articles.

For the Kreativ Blogger Award I’ll nominate Rebecca at Novel Girl for all the lovely advice on writing she publishes.

And thanks to all of you for reading 🙂
