Kreativ Award

Hi guys! A big thanks goes to everyone who reads this blog.

Rebecca Emrich at Living a Life of Writing has nominated me for the Kreativ Award! I'm very excited as this is the first award Prompt Romp has won (the next post will be about the second). If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend that you check out Rebecca's blog. There, she posts in-depth about the life of writers; it's a great, wonderful, and thought-provoking read.

So, now it's time for me to do some nominating.



Here are the rules for the award:

1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting. (see below)
5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated.

7 Thing People Might Find Interesting About Me:

1. I can sing. I've been singing all my life and I love it.

2. I'm writing a modern fantasy series. Fantasy is my favorite genre to write followed by horror and scifi.

3. I'm obsessed with real-time strategy games. My favorite is the Age of Empires series; recently, I've become fascinated with Imperivm Romanvm.

4. My top three favorite shows (in no particular order) are: Torchwood, Heroes, and Being Human.

5. I've been playing the Sims for many years. My IQ is 160; still, I can't figure out how to make my own meshes. (Shut up -- everyone has their own different type of smarts.)

6. I drink a lot of coffee. I mean, a lot. I've been drinking coffee since I was seven.

7. If I had to say what influences me in respect to creativity the most, I'd say life -- particularly that which touches me and makes me think.

My Nominations for the Kreativ Award:

1. Andrew at Musings and Mullings.

2. Al at Publish or Perish.

3. Cindy R. Wilson.

4. Write and Earn a Living.

5. Kait Nolan.

I wrote a drabble!

It's a Star Wars Obidala drabble. Exactly 100 words. I'm rather proud of it (though I didn't edit it, so we'll see how proud I am when I look at it in the morning). I meant to use one of my own prompts I posted here recently, but I diverged.

And without further ado...here it is at my Livejournal.

And never fear. More prompts will follow in the morning, when I'm more awake. (I've had a busy week this week. I turned 21! And my youngest sister turned 2! And my dad turned 51! So yeah, lots of birthdays. =D)
