I have been nominated for the Liebster Award by the lovely bloggers: Beckie from Spotlight and Dani from Crystal Sparkly Dreams.

Turns out, I’ve already accepted this award, almost exactly one year ago.

But I’m not one to let a tiny hiccup like that stop me.

Rules Of The Liebster Award (These vary, depending on who I’m nominated by. So in the name of grand monarchy, I shall pick and choose which rules I prefer—for the good of the kingdom.)

• Nominate 3-10 bloggers with less than 2,000 followers whom you want to encourage.
• Answer the questions given to you.
• Create 10 questions for your nominees.

Because I was nominated by two bloggers, I’ll alternate between their questions. (Don’t worry. There’s only 9.)

#1. What is the most rewarding aspect of blogging? – Beckie

Blogging is most rewarding from an instant-gratification standpoint. There is no waiting. I write it. I post it. I see if people love it, hate it, come at me with pitchforks, ignore it, or leave a comment with phrases like funniest girl in the entire world or all hail the writing Goddess. 

I find out how they feel, almost immediately. Blogging connects my writing with my readers. That’s rewarding.

#2. What would your superpower be? – Dani

Either flying or being invisible. Mostly, I want to be invisible so I can eavesdrop on people. But that’s a given.

#3. Name a fun, random fact about yourself. – Beckie

Since I’m studying medical transcription, I have a half-man, half-exposed-organs-and-muscles figurine on my desk.

Sometimes, I shake my head at him and say, “you aren’t half the man you used to be, Charles.”

This cracks me up.

#4. What’s one thing that really gets your blood boiling? – Dani

When my age becomes an issue. I’m twenty, 5’2, and baby-faced.

I have leadership skills and drive and maturity, but a lot of people struggle or refuse to see me as a competent adult human. They see me as a girl, or daughter, or teen, or worse, they compare me to their kid or grandkid, thinking that because we share the same age, we must be at the same place in life.

I wouldn’t say my blood boils at this, but I do see it as one of life’s injustices.

I guess you could say my blood boils at those 18-25 year olds who are lazy or stupid and ruin things for the rest of us. And those “adultier” adults who don’t expect any better from my generation.

#5. What’s your greatest motivation for writing? – Beckie

I want to be a published YA author. I’m currently working on my first novel. I want readers to fangirl over my characters the way I fangirl over Tris and Four.

I also love sharing experiences and sharing laughter. It’s addicting, and it’s motivating.

#6. During a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? – Dani

First of all, Dani, I absolutely love this question. I guess this would’ve been a great random fact about me, but I am always preparing for the zombie apocalypse.

I am that girl:

“Dude, if it were a zombie apocalypse, I’d eat you first.”

“Hey, if this was a zombie apocalypse, I would climb up to that abandoned house on a hill and set up fort, perfect vantage point.”

“CHECK THE BACK SEAT. I told you. ALWAYS check the back seat!”

Anyways. I’m a gun person. However, I am aware that bullets only last so long. But, if this were a movie, and I had a never-ending supply of bullets, I would go for a gun, probably a rifle, and if I could, a handgun against my ankle as well.

You asked.

#7. Favorite movie. – Beckie

I have a list of movies I can see (and have seen) over and over and over and over—and over again:

• The Devil Wears Prada (fashion and writing, two of my favorite things)
• His Girl Friday (makes me laugh every time)
• Kiki’s Delivery Service (started my anime obsession)
• All About Eve (oh, the irony)
• Little Women w/Elizabeth Taylor (Oh Laurie…)
• You’ve Got Mail

#8. Favorite dinner to eat. – Beckie

Olive Garden. Always Olive Garden. I love their soups, their salad, I love pasta, I love the Frank Sinatra music in the background.

I would like to eat Olive Garden, the restaurant, as a whole. Breadsticks on the side. Please and thank you.

#9. Tell me one interesting fact about yourself? – Dani

When I was eight, I was hit in the face with a softball. The girl stood maybe five feet away and walloped the ball with a bat. I remember, in slow motion, the softball growing in size, then I remember waking up, crying in the dugout against my mother’s lap.

It’s believed that the girl hit me so hard I got a hairline fracture on my cheek bone. So I have to be careful to protect my face—and to stay away from teenagers with bats who pay no concern to the “tap it lightly” rule.
