I am nominating you for the ‘Very Inspiring Blogger Award.’ I know not everyone is about awards but this one is an exception even if you don’t like the process. It shows that you are inspiring others and I want you to know you inspire me. It’s not for everyone, however, and it should not create pressure or frustration. You can find information at http://bookishswint.wordpress.com/2014/06/23/very-inspiring-blogger-award/
Thanks for letting me know/nominating me. I will likely follow up with this in the future, but as you know, my time to write is shrinking these days, so I’d like to focus on my own stuff. It really is a unique feeling to have a total stranger take time out of their day to do this though, so thanks again.
hi pete. bit overwhelmed with some of your writings. i think i might have to start at the start to ‘get the drift.’ Anyway thanks for liking my birthday blog. In another blog I asked my followers if they could recommend a great biography… do you know of one?
Please do. Or you can get the book version for your kindle if you so desire. See Buy These Books Page above. 🙂 Biography? I don’t read many, but one that I have read and enjoyed, especially for just the one chapter on President James K. Polk, is Blood and Thunder about Kit Carson. http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Thunder-Carson-Conquest-American/dp/1400031109

PS – Happy Birthday, btw. You’re post reminded me of this old commercial which I just learned I have been remembering wrong all these years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ntxb6MnmJA
Hi Pete, Thanks for following me. What a super blog you have here, loads of interesting stuff and great stories. Will read through them and comment soon. Great stuff 🙂
Hey, I’ve nominated you for the very inspiring blog award. I don’t know much about it, but I thought I should let you know. Here’s the link of the person who nominated me. http://wordsspilled.com/2015/01/07/very-inspiring-blogger-award/ Thanks for doing what you do!
Well, my novel is about divorce. During my marriage and divorce nobody really knew I would produce a book based on it, whereas now they all know to expect their comments and lives to make appearances here on this blog. And the question became how do I tell a good/solid story, versus just how to I tell my story. Like you wrote, which parts should I omit and which demand a presence.
Today I found out i had 100 crazy followers & you are one of my personal favourites. & that made me smile as I am not very important or clever person. It’s also Valentine’s Day in this part of the universe. SO I thought i’d write and say a huge thank you personally for your support and for finding some interest in my thoughts and what i write. And as its valentines day, i hope you find yourself surrounded by pleasure and fun and lots of crazy happy love! from one human to another! 🙂

Hey Steph,

And oh my gosh, forgive me, but I can be quite literal. If you expand biography to autobiography, and haven’t read Mark Twain’s, you must.
