My 7 Links

Thank you to Lillie Ammann at A Writer's Words, an Editor's Eye for nominating me to participate in the My 7 Links challenge. The purpose of the challenge is to create a bank of posts from the past that deserve to be seen again.

My Most Beautiful Post

Fathers in Fiction
Link
I spent some time researching this one before I posted it but that time was worth it. I felt this was a nice tribute to fictional fathers. It was hard for me to find an article about a fictional dad that could only be found in BOOKS, not TV shows, so I wanted to put something like this out there for Father's Day.


My Most Popular Post

Please vote for your favorite pic!

This one got quite a lot of votes. Thanks to everyone who participated!

My Most Controversial Post

It’s a Free Country – Except in Publishing

I did not get any comments here, but offline I came across people commenting on this issue A LOT. It was interesting to read what others thought about this.


My Most Helpful Post

How I survived the HARO deluge

Once again, another blog post that got responses that were not on the blog. This method helped me out a lot. Recently, Peter Shankman wanted HARO subscribers to send in their tips on how to use HARO but unfortunately I chickened out. I just didn't feel that sending him this link would make much of a difference because it was probably a repeat of what everybody else said.

A Post Whose Success Surprised Me

You, you, you, and, yes, even YOU!

This one got 15 comments -- the most I have on any other blog post!!


A Post That Didn’t Get the Attention I Feel It Deserved

Top 10 signs you're in the zone during novel revisions

This was something I just wrote in fun. Kinda forgot to mention how I stopped at a stoplight that was green, not red. LOL I wrote this just for laughs and I think a lot of fiction writers could relate to this.


The Post I’m Most Proud Of

Thank you, Girl Scout Troop #2056!

I will be forever grateful to these special young ladies who did something wonderful with my poem. They will always have a place in my heart. This is one experience of my writing career I will always cherish. (I have one of those bookmarks on my wall, by the way.)



The second part of the challenge is to nominate up to five other bloggers to share their 7 links. Of course, these lovely ladies are not obligated to do the meme on their blogs, as well. I'm just nominating them because they are the ones who come to mind.

Moaning Meme

Jana at Jana's Journeys http://janasjourneys.blogspot.com/ tagged me for the Moaning Meme!!!

5 people who will be annoyed you tagged them.

I don't have a fifth (where I confess I am not that big of a blog addict or that I'd rather not mark a fifth victim in this tagging thing)


4 things that should go into room 101 and be removed from the face of the earth:

Veggies that are smooshy and/or creamed. DISGUSTING!!!
Computer viruses
Keyboards with keys that stick
Writer's block


3 things people do that make you want to shake them violently:

--Drive like idiots (WHY do people refuse to stop at a freaking stop sign?? Or fail to look BOTH ways when they are driving and yakking on their cell phone at the same time?? And, hello, does, anybody honor right-of-way anymore?? ARGH!)
--Hurt their kids.
--Constantly moan and whine and be all emo about their lives for a loooong time (like over 2 years!!) and refuse to do ANYTHING to improve themselves or their lives.


2 things you find yourself moaning about.

People living here throwing trash on the floor or "forgetting" to put their dishes in the sink before we all go to bed.
Pregnancy hormones. (I'm HOT and I'm CRYING! Not good!)


1 thing the above answers tell you about yourself:

That I should remember that we live in an imperfect world and shouldn't expect too much from life or from people.


RULES

• Link to the original meme at freelancecynic.com so people know what it’s all about!
• Be as honest as possible. This is about letting people get to know the real you!
• Try not to insult anyone - unless they really deserve it or are very, very ugly!
• Post these rules at the end of every meme!
