I've had similar problems, and yes, still try to keep plugging away. This year the distractions of life have interfered but I keep telling myself I'll change all that, turn it around and get back to the fun. That's yet to be the case, so it was truly lovely to get an award!<br /><br />Thank you! I will post my answer and follow the rules soon. I'll let you know when.

That sounds like quite the honor. :-) I've received it twice as well, with many years in between, and have yet to accept it this second time around. So much to write about already.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your hassles with WordPress. My first blog was on Blogger (about our sailing life for eight years), but my current one is on WordPress (with my own domain) and I have been quite happy with it.Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963015679650968932.post-10614139908511004912017-09-10T00:43:03.333-04:002017-09-10T00:43:03.333-04:00Donna, what a surprise and honor! Truly! Thank yo...Donna, what a surprise and honor! Truly! Thank you!<br />1. I started blogging when I started having books published. It was my way of connecting to my readers. Now it’s my way of connecting to anyone who wishes to read my blog.<br />2. French.<br />3. Turning in my last book under contract, which was my 23 contracted book spread between two publishers in twelve years. After writing a couple of books a year under tight deadlines, I look forward to being an indie author.<br />4. Alaska. Friends just got back and their photos make me drool for the same experiences.<br />5. I have a very fluffy and opinionate cat named B. She just turned 19 years old. <br />6. Crickets in a stir fry.<br />7. Staying focused on the current project for long periods of time. I always have several ideas for new books floating in my head, and I want to work on them instead of what I should be working on.<br />8. Charlaine Harris. <br />9. Cold water.<br />10. This depends on my writing. I read more between writing books. But I try to read at least 3 a month.<br />11. Fall. I spent my early years in New England and you can’t beat their fall weather and beauty.<br />Sue Ann Jaffarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984054116933714621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963015679650968932.post-81975352841931379232017-09-09T20:40:07.838-04:002017-09-09T20:40:07.838-04:00It has been a while - this is my second recent nom...It has been a while - this is my second recent nomination but I ignored the previous one.

Thank you for the lovely surprise of nominating me for a Leibster Award. I don't participate in passing on awards, but I'll answer your questions:<br />1. Blogging ~ a friend pushed me into it, and I haven't stopped since.<br />2. French ~ I had to learn it when Canada went bilingual, had a terrible time, I had to take it by correspondence, I'd like to slay that dragon!<br />3. Going to my first great niece Ella Grace's (on my side of the family) 100 Day Celebration. Her mother Jeannie is Chinese, and my Scottish family is loving the joy of Ella Grace, but also of embracing Jeannie's big, loving family and culture and traditions.<br />4. One location??? My best friend and I are planning a visit to the Galapagos and Machu Picchu in the near future ~but it is only one of so many places I still want to see!<br />5. No pets ~ I lost my Scottie MacBeath in 1984, and I've missed him every day. I'm too much of a Rolling Stone to take on a pet.<br />6. Seal flipper pie in Newfoundland<br />7. Time is my biggest struggle in writing! In life!<br />8. I'd like to spend a week studying with Pema Chodron at the Buddhist Gampo Abbey in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.<br />9. Coffee with lots of cream!<br />10. Usually two books a month. I wish I could squeeze in more!<br />11. I loved all of the seasons, but if I were forced to pick one I would pick ... How can you choose the magic of snowflakes falling from the sky, over the wonder of bees buzzing in apple blossoms, over the joy of frolicking in the waves, over jumping in piles of colored leaves??? I can't ...<br />Happy writing in September! <br /> Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.com
