Celebrate the Small Things is an awesome weekly reminder to celebrate the positive stuff in our lives, even if it's just small stuff, and is hosted by the lovely Vikki.1. I'm getting through a cold. It's given me another reason to stay at home and pound on the keyboard.
2. I think I'm almost ready for the Champion in the Darkness release . . .almost.
3. I learned how to use Rafflecopter. It's easy.
4. I finally realized that I'm terrified of writing guest posts, and why. This is actually a good realization because now that I can see my fear, I can kick it's rear and get the posts done.
5. Tara Tyler gave me the Liebster Award!!! Very sweet! (I've received it before, but I don't think I have it posted anywhere and I'm happy to answer the questions again)
Don't forget to Overcome Adversity this Monday and Tuesday with Nick Wilford's Overcoming Adversity Blogfest!
Have you signed up for A to Z? I have, and I'll be posting the A to Z of fencing and swordplay terminology, like so: A is for Assault, B is for Bout, C is for Conversation, D is for Disengagement, E is for Epee, F is for Foil, and so on. I'm excited and read for A to Z. Are you?
Once you get in the groove, guest posts aren't that hard.
ReplyDeleteI am all ready for Nick's bloghop!
I signed up for Nick's too. Take good care of yourself and beat that cold. And kick out the fears! :D
ReplyDeleteAlex - good to know!
ReplyDeleteAl - Thanks! :D
Glad you are feeling better. This has been a tough cold and flu season.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for A to Z, well sort of...
You're right Rafflecopter is super easy!
Guest post?? Sounds fun and a tiny bit scary.
Scribbles - Thanks! I know what you mean about A to Z. I'm more prepared this year, but there's this fear that no one will want to read my posts . . .which is similar to the guest post fear. I must conquer it!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read your A to Z posts, that's an interesting topic! I have a couple in mind, haven't decided which one I'm going to go with yet.
ReplyDeleteLaura - Thanks! I've been worried that I'm the only one that thinks it's interesting. I'm looking forward to reading yours too.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on receiving the Liebster blog award! I can't believe how popular the A to Z Blogfest is! This will be my first year entering it. Looking forward to the challenge. Looks like you like to write the same genres I do!!!
ReplyDeleteRafflecopter... looks a bit complicated so yay for you!
ReplyDelete(I haven't tried it though, but still)
Guest post are intimidating to me too!
Hey I learned how to use rafflecopter this week too! It was much easier than I thought it would be.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award and on getting closer to your release, yay! And glad to hear you are getting over the cold.
I'm beginning to dream about blog hops; there are so many of them I can't keep track anymore. I see you've jumped into several here!
ReplyDeleteWhen is your release? We have to get you scheduled on my blog some time for that. :)
ReplyDeleteI have yet to learn rafflecopter, but I will soon. Maybe.
I love your A-Z theme! And Rafflecopter is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWow, you got good stuff accomplished this week! Good luck getting rid of the cold and on your guest posts. You can do it!! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove that you can find the positive in having a cold, but so true! Congrats on all your accomplishments and good luck getting over your phobia of guest blogging. It's not so bad. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list of celebrations! Rafflecopter is baffling, glad you worked it out! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for writing and Rafflecopter success and guest blogging and awards! Sounds like a great week!
ReplyDeletewow. Thanks for the reminder on the Overcoming Adversity Bloghop! I signed up for it ages ago, but it had kinda slipped my mind. I gotta get working on that!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the blogging award! And hope you feel better soon. :)
Yay! I can't wait for the Champion release.
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest, guest posts intimidate me, too (I've only done one). I feel like I'm squatting in someone else's house.
Kim - nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteS.K. - Rafflecopter is actually easy.
Julie - Thanks!
C. Lee - I know what you mean! There are many, many blog hops going on these days.

Jen - It's good to hear that it's not so bad.
Viklit -Thanks!
J.A. - Thank you!
Tamara - You're welcome. It had slipped my mind too until I read another post that mentioned it.
Nickie - Thanks! I know what you mean . . .when I write a post, I'm often running through it at a mad dash, but for a guest post, I feel like I have to mind my manners, etc more.
Your small triumphs sound great! Waht is Z in the A to Z of fencing? 'Zut alors! J'ai manque' mon epee!' ? Sounds nifty!
ReplyDeleteI've just got my story ready for my own bloghop! You'd think I'd have it done ages ago, but no. Excited!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great A-Z theme!
What is a Rafflecopter? Glad you can use your adversity of being sick to kick in more writing! That's making lemonade, right? And getting to know and get rid of fears is a great thing to celebrate. Congrats on all your accomplishments!
ReplyDeleteHere's to getting rid of that cold, asap. Congrats on your award too! Sounds like you've had a good week. Here's to the weekend being wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Hope you're over your cold soon, though; it's no fun being sick, writing or no.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the award!
So glad you're getting over your fear of guest posts:-) You are always welcome on my blog! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteChampion in the Darkness! Where, where and when? WOOT!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're starting to feel better!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award! I look forward to reading your post [g]
I've signed up for both the A to Z and Overcoming Adversity bloghops.
ReplyDeleteYour A to Z theme sounds interesting...
I have no knowledge of anything Fencing-related. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Nothing.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
I'll be taking part in the "Overcoming Adversity" bloghop on Monday. And as far as the A to Z Challenge goes...welcome aboard!! :)
ReplyDeleteHey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if
ReplyDeleteyou knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest
twitter updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
