What is the Versatile Blogger Award?
A big thank you to Michael Neale (http://www.mnealewriting.com/) for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger Award. I’m really not used to these kinds of tags, memes, blog awards, so if I’m doing it wrong, I’m sorry.
I don’t remember if Michael mentioned what the award was, but I’d like to think it’s meant for people who blog not just about one topic, but like to cover many (versatile). That’s definitely me. It could also mean bloggers who also use other outlets, like Youtube, streaming, or a perfect Instagram template.
Rules of the Versatile Blogger Award
If you are nominated, you’ve been awarded the Versatile Blogger award.
- Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.
- Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.
- Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly.
- Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award — you might include a link to this site.
- Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.
7 Things About Me
- I’m dealing with chronic pain on a daily basis.
- I quit my day job to be a writer. No, wait there’s more to that story. This ties together with the first point. Having an office job that had a three-hour commute a day was too much for me and the stress made my symptoms worse. I was close to a burn out even though I didn’t know it at the time. My husband told me to quit before our wedding, which I did. The day after I said goodbye, we picked up our puppy Shiro.
- My husband and white shepherd Shiro are my world.
- I often love game lore more than the game itself.
- ‘Tsundoku’ is so relevant to me. I have a lot of books that I haven’t read yet, but I still want more. It doesn’t help that so many writers release new books at an increasing rate. I find more indie authors that are amazing and release books at an even higher rate.
- Fountain pens are a big hobby of mine.
- I have two books out and aim to release two more this year.

Thanks for the nomination! That’ll be another Blapril post for me hehe. Fifteen nominations is a bit of an ask though – if everyone does that we’ll have used up the known universe in about a week. I think I might skip that part…
That’s okay 😊 do it however you feel is right!
Like Bhagpuss, I think 15 nominations would dry up the well very quickly!! I might cut that down to 5 or so as a bit of a compromise. 🙂
Otherwise, thank-you for the nomination!
Prompts for Blapril articles are badly needed. Thank you for the tag!! Also, good for you focusing on writing like that. Wishing you all the best 🙂
Hi!.
Thank you for the nomination.
I decided to go with only five nominations too.
[…] had an issue. But I turned it into an opportunity, so don’t worry. Both Tessa/Endalia AND Solarayo nominated me for different awards. Tessa tagged me for Versatile Blogger Award. And I […]

[…] My brain is frazzled today, this being my Friday (I work 5 days a week, Friday through to Tuesday), so rather than concoct a blog post on the fly like normal, I’m going to do one of those “tag a blog” thingies. Many thanks to Endalia over at Princess in a Castle and Narratess for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger Award! […]
