First Edit Completed & Blog Award

I've been neglecting my blogs recently, but with good reason. Not only did I have my first full length edit to go through and return to my editor, but life has been busier this last couple of weeks than usual. I'm sure that's the case with most people when they want to set aside some particular time. But, hey, I get bored if there's nothing going on!

I had a lovely surprise when I discovered that Champagne colleague Linda Kage has awarded me a cute blog award. Isn't that just what you want to say to people sometimes? Go away, I'm writing - and the little picture is the next best thing to a having a real mug with that sentiment. So thanks, Linda!

I'm going to pass it on to two of my good writing colleagues here in Scotland, who entertain and inform through their blogs. And both are busy, busy people. So here you are Bill Kirton and Michael Malone, enjoy a cup of coffee in your cyber mug. I'm also passing it to lovely Texan writer, Linda la Roque, who was happy to answer my questions as a new author to Champagne Books. Thanks, Linda.

Thank you Rosemary - a nice surprise. I shall toast you virtually in virtual coffee and perhaps share something stronger when we next meet.

Linda Kage said...

Whew, isn't it a relief when you get through edits? I'm so happy you like your award. And congrats to Bill, Michael, and Linda!

Thanks, Bill - you deserve it when you need a break!

Rosemary Gemmell said...

Yes, Linda - I would think the first one is the worst too!

Linda LaRoque said...

Hey, thanks, Rosemary! I'm thrilled you thought of me and will get it on my blog asap.

That's a coincidence Rosemary, I've just ordered
a real one of those mugs saying, Go Away I'm Reading, half an hour ago for a Christmas present.

Hi Betty - that's an amazing coincidence! Where do you get them? Someone mentioned they'd like a real one.
