This is a new award, created by my daughter, Kate at http://sincerelykaterz.wordpress.com/. She remembered the director of my college writing center talking about how writing should be like a woman’s skirt, and it stuck with her. So she created this award, and I am one of the first eight people to receive the award! Thanks, Kate! 🙂
The point of this award is to acknowledge bloggers who we believe have found a good balance with their posts. Whether they’re long or short, they said what they needed to say yet didn’t go on and on just for the sake of reaching a word count or because they simply don’t know when to stop.
Here are the rules:
1) Post the award on your blog and who nominated you
2) Share 8 things about yourself
3) Nominate 8 people and let them know
Eight Things About Me
- In addition to being the mother of the creator of this award, I have three other children, all male, all older than Kate.
- I am in the process of exploring lots of ideas and activities as I work on reimagining my life.
- As part of this reimagination project, I am having a count-“up” to my 60th birthday, known as 600 days to 60. I am currently at 546.
- This is my fifth year teaching English and Writing at a university in Taiwan.
- During my first two years in Taiwan, I was here on my own; since year three, I’m thrilled to report, my husband is here with me.
- In the last couple of months, I’ve found a way to bring quilting back into my life.
- I have many awesome students.
- The coffee shop around the corner is my home away from home. A great latte can fuel a couple hours of writing and grading projects.
