Would You Believe It…

@LadyAntimony gave me another blog award over on her blog Thoughts, Musings and Broken Promises! This one is called the Liebster Blog Award.

I’m so glad she chose to give me the award amongst so many other brilliant bloggers and want to thank her such a lot.

And now it is my turn to select some of the excellent bloggers that I know. Sadly, I can’t nominate @LadyAntimony because she nominated me and I’ll try not to nominate the same people as her, too.

So here goes…

Now I have some thanks to dish out. Some fantastic people have recently mentioned me on their blogs. In no way did I hint or ask them to do this so I was truly thrilled when I found out they had.

I Am What I Am

And no one can take that away from me. Some have tried, but that’s a longer tale than this blog post will hold and far deeper into my consciousness than any of you are probably willing to go.

Recently, I’ve noticed that I’ve been trying to curb myself on this blog from saying things I really want to say, all for the sake of public image. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing in regards to certain subjects, but it does make the original point of this journal redundant to say the least.

I’ve been trying to do that thing that so many writing blogs tell you to do: lose some of the intimacy and therefore gain a wider access to readers. So, I’ve tried.
