Pot-O-Gold Award

I'm usually quite terrible about passing on blog awards but I wanted to make sure I did this one since it's new! Christie Wright Wild created the award and here's the idea behind it:

"The Pot-O-Gold Blogger Award is awarded monthly, by me, to one blogger who I feel has a flair for interesting and helpful content, as well as visually appealing and easy-to-navigate design. In other words, it's like discovering a pot of gold! It's a site you will visit frequently and enjoy swimming around in for a while."

Thank you, Christie!!

Here are the rules:

If you receive the Pot-O-Gold Blogger Award:

1. Say thank you to the person who gave it to you.
2. Write a post and include the image of the award, a link to the person's blog who gave it to you, and a link to my blog, WRITE WILD. (Copy and paste the rules in your post.)
3. Award four bloggers this award and tell why each is a Pot-O-Gold! (If you receive this award more than once, you only have to forward it the first time.)
4. Share four simple things about yourself: 1-a time you had to exercise FAITH, 2-something you HOPE for, 3-something (or someone) you LOVE, and 4-a time when you felt LUCK.

FAITH: I continue to have faith in choosing the road less traveled by.
HOPE: I hope for more but appreciate less.
LOVE: I love my life, family and friends.
LUCK: I feel lucky because I live by chance decisions.

I had a really hard time choosing winners (which is sort of why I don't relish these posts!) but chose:

Kate Hart: For her blog design that I adore, the charts she makes, and her general off-the-chart (ha!) levels of awesome.

Ingrid's Notes: For her super-duper in-depth conference notes and fantastic posts on writing and technique.

Middle Grade Ninja: For his fun 7-question agent and author interviews and his very in-depth MG reviews.

Carol's Prints: For her very sincere, fantastic YA reviews (that make me salivate for new books) and her recurring mega-awesome book giveaways.

Have a great weekend, everyone!!
