Versatile Blogger Nomination and My Nominees

Being relatively new to the world of blogging, I was surprised to get a Versatile Blogger Nomination by Rod Tyson, who just so happens to have a lovely blog right here: Rod Tyson's Blog. (Thanks for the nomination!)

So here's what you should do if you're nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award:1 
1. Nominate 15 fellow bloggers for The Versatile Blogger Award.
2. Add an image of the Versatile Blogger Award.
3. In the same post, thank the blogger who nominated you in a post with a link back to their blog.
4. In the same post, share 7 completely random pieces of information about yourself.
5. In the same post, include this set of rules.
6. Inform each nominated blogger of their nomination by posting a comment on each of their blogs.

It's easy to nominate your friends, and in the process, you can get your name - and the name of your website - into the blogosphere! Since I am bound to follow the rules, here are seven terribly random things about myself: 

1. I love cats. 
2. I love cats even more when they kindly avoid hunting my feet or dropping dead bugs on my front porch. 
3. Zombies scare the heck out of me - yet I still like to read about them. Go figure. 
4. I don't like cleaning fishtanks. They smell. They're slimy. And they smell. Oh, I said that. 
5. I've been writing seriously since I was 13. My first novel was nearly a thousand pages long, written by hand in a stack of notebooks. Needless to say, I converted to typing soon afterwards.
6. I've been attacked by a Beagle. 
7. I can play the piano. But I can't read music, so I'm no Mozart. 

There you have it! And here are my fifteen nominees for the Most Versatile Blogger Award.

  5. Dear friend and follower of JJ Botta - Freelance Writer: As a result of increased writing commitments, I have recently merged this website into The Disconnected Writer (http://thedisconnectedwriter.blogspot.com/). I hope you will continue to follow my blog at this location. Of course, I will follow back. Thanks a million!

  6. Thanks for the Re-nomination :) I totally relate to several of your random bits of info! When my cat was a kitten she split my little toe down one side as I got out of bed one morning. Erk...
    Now I'm wondering how the Beagle attack panned out...;) Keep up the good work!

    1. I actually don't know when it ends - sorry! It's almost like a chain letter, shared from one blogger to the next. I suppose we'll get some kind of word when it ends. :)
