Potty said it in her post really; but I'll say it in my own way. I'm very flattered (and very surprised) to have been nominated in two categories of the Brilliance in Blogging awards - Lit and Laughs. (How funny that I'm not in the Style category. Someone has obviously been spying on me.)
I have no idea who nominated me, as I certainly wouldn't have put myself forward with all that competition - but thank you very much. Apparently I received quite a few votes too, so thank you to anyone who voted for me.
I thought about withdrawing this blog from the competition as I'm really not a "competition person" and despite having a book to sell, I'm woefully crap at selling myself. And then I thought how churlish that would be. Someone has taken the time to put my blog forward and there I would be, - being all ungrateful. So I'll leave my name in the hat, and if anyone feels the urge, you can vote on the side buttons to the right here.
But take a look and click through to the other blogs on the lists as there really are some great bloggers included.
I will vote for you- and you deserve to be nominated. Like you I'm totally crap at this selling myself thing - this marketing- branding thing that everyone thinks you should do here in the US
ReplyDeleteThanks for the name check EPM, and as ALW said, you totally deserve to be on the list! x (But that's not what either of us are denying, is it?)

ReplyDeleteThis is a great posting I have read. I like your article.
ReplyDeleteWith you. But seriously, some REALLY FUNNY bloggers have been nominated. That Knackered Mother's Wine Club is HILARIOUS x
ReplyDeleteAnd I voted for you! I have been nominated, too. In the style category, of course, because I am neither very funny, nor particularly literate. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - I might have added you too - at least you are in categories you can cope with - wish I was in the humour one - would have focused the mind. Instead I have to pretend to go on holiday a lot in the next month as a shortlist in the travel section when really I am staying at home with grumpy revising teenage daughter. Lx
ReplyDeleteYes but MM - there's no denying you should be in the Style category, and Knackered should be in the fun one.
