Handing Out Awards

Ash. Elizabeth created an award because she felt a need for it.  The award is the Helpful Blogger Award and she was kind enough to nominate me.  Yay!  Thanks.  Now, it's my turn.  But first, the rules:

-Include the award logo in your blog or post.

-Link to post where you received the award.
-Nominate seven blogs that you feel are helpful to others.
-Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.
-Let them know they've received the award by commenting on their blog.
-Share one thing that no one knows about you & quote a sentence from your favorite book.


I nominate:

-Lori Brighton
-Amber Argyle
-Rebecca A. Emrich
-Janna Qualman
-Tess Hilmo
-Shelli

Something about me:  I had HELLP Syndrome and almost died when pregnant with the twins.  Cheery thought, isn't it?

I just read a great quote the other day, so I'm glad I can share it now.  This is from Anne Perry in the forward she wrote for Donald Maass's book "Writing the Breakout Novel".

"Sometimes I am asked, 'Is it true you should write what you know about?'  I say, "No, write what you care about.  If you don't know, you'll find out.  But if you don't care, why should anyone else?'"

Do you have any quotes you'd like to share?
