Oh my π I am feeling pretty chuffed. The lovely CB Wentworth has nominated me for the Reader Appreciation award, and said some lovely comments about my blog. Thank you so much honey π
I love this community so goddam much!
In order to accept this award I need to do the following:
List something youβve been up to lately
Nominate 6 other blogs
Ok, that’s pretty simple lol….something I’ve been up to lately? Hmmmm….*thinks* ok, harder than I thought, you guys know everything anyway! Lol
Ahhhhh, I have it! π
Dieting *groan* and very unsuccessfully I might add lol. I mean, how can you write and diet? The connection between tapping away at the Netbook and chocolate seems soooo right, don’t you think? All those coffee shops, lattes, cake, muffins…..mmmmmm π
The idea of doing my editing whilst munching on carrot sticks is just not doing it for me!
So there, now you have it, I’ve said it, I’m supposedly on a bloody diet, but, it’s not going well lol. I am a member of a gym but I’m just far too busy to go (so I tell myself) π
So now for the nominees. This is getting so hard, making sure I don’t nominate someone who has already had the award lol. I’ve had a few new followers recently, so I’m going to nominate my new readers, show my appreciation π

Do check out these wonderful bloggers who have just started reading my posts. Thanks guys, you’re brilliant, all of you π
This post got me thinking….. What’s your favourite writing snack? The thing you love to nibble on whilst you’re tapping away on those keys? And the first person to say carrot sticks will also get a filthy look π lol. The picture above is of one on my favourites….little cheesy biscuits *dribbles* lol
On writing days I eat a hearty breakfast before sitting down to write. If I didn’t….well, let’s just say it wouldn’t be pretty. Sticky fingers. Crumb laden keyboard. You get the idea…

Congrats on your award! Well deserved. As far as my writing snack, I actually hate to eat while I’m trying to write because I don’t pause a lot when I’m writing. The words come too fast, lol. Of course, i end up ditching half of it the next day, but only to be swamped by more words that won’t stop! However, I do need to have something to drink, so usually coffee in the am, and beer/wine or a diet Coke in the eve.

You always have such fun questions on your posts.
No carrot sticks for me! Coffee, the kind with mocha and whipped cream is always good for a lot of words. I like trail mix too, nuts, banana chips, raisins … and chocolate. Mmmm.
Those biscuits look delicious! Too bad we probably can’t get them in the states.

Your picture reminds me of little snacks I tried (and were pleasantly surprised at the taste of) I once tried while in the tatami room of a Japanese learning centre. Mmm.
Less tasty, on another occasion, were sesame seed crackers.
At the computer, I sometimes eat breakfast cereal. But for actual snacks, maybe toast, chips, crumpets? That sort of thing.

Yay! Congrats on your award and thank you thank you for nominating me. I’m honored and happy and, um, eating a chocolate nut cookie with my tea at my desk, as I write to you, at 6:30 in the morning (CA time). Ah, yes, so I’ve just published my deep dark secret. I mean deep dark chocolate – that’s my secret, the one that keeps me writing away every day through thick or thin (chocolate, that is). :+)

There’s a specialty cupcake shop around the corner. I love to get a few jumbo cupcakes, cut them in quarters, and nibble on them while writing. Terrible, exorbitant amount of calories, I know. But now I’m dieting too…
