The One Lovely Blog Award

I woke up this morning to find that the lovely Rachel Woe has nominated me for the 'One Lovely Blog Award'.  I am touched whenever someone thinks enough of my blog and/or writing to nominate me for an award and this one is no different!

The rules for the award are as follows: 
You must list the rules to the One Lovely Blog Award
You must thank the person(s) who nominated you and include a link to their blog
You must add seven facts about yourself
You must nominate 15 other bloggers and let them know they have been nominated
You must display the award logo and follow the blogger who nominated you 

So here we go...

Rachel!  Thank you so much for nominating me!  I came across Rachel's blog a couple of months ago when my wife insisted that I simply had to drop what I was doing and read a flash fiction she had found.  The story was Rachel's  'En Route' and I was not disappointed!  Rachel is very friendly on Twitter and there is always something interesting to read on her blog.  She inspired me to start writing flash fiction and while I'm nowhere near as good as her I hope that one day I will come close!  Make sure you check out her blog 'Rachel Woe'

Now for the seven facts about me... I hate doing these type of things but here goes!
1.  Human Biology was my best subject at high school!  It's the only subject I really excelled in and I am still proud for being awarded the prize for top student in the subject!
2.  When it comes to snacks I am more of a savoury snacker than a sweet snacker
3.  I am slightly (okay, extremely) addicted to buying books from my favourite second hand book store
4.  I am 2/3 of the way through my Bachelor of Communication and for some unknown reason am considering beginning degree #2 (Bachelor of Arts majoring in Classical Studies) in 2016
5.  When my best friend came to stay with me for 10 days at the end of 2011 I had no idea that by the time she left we would be madly in love
6.  I have a pet Axolotl and I am pretty sure he died for a couple of hours in September, but he is very much alive now!  I now call him the Zombie-lotl
7.  I am allllllll about mint chocolate chip ice cream

And now for my nominations!

I am a sex blogging superhero!

I have my blog listed on the Kinkly website and a while back they announced they were taking
nominations for their 'Top 100 Sex Blogging Superheroes of 2014' competition... I was shocked when yesterday I received an email saying that I was in the top 100!

Writing about sex and writing erotica are both passions of mine and it felt great to get recognition for it.  It's obviously not something I can scream from the rooftops or share in my monthly 'update of my life' email I send to all my family [please note: I don't actually send this email...],  but it is still hellishly exciting for me. 

Me.  I never get chosen for anything.  I never win.  I am never anything but average... so while this award might not seem like a huge deal to some people, it IS pretty major to me.  My self confidence and self belief have never been particularly high, so to receive recognition that hey... some people out there actually read & like my blog! it is pretty awesome!

Congratulations to everyone else who made the top 100 and to everyone who was nominated!

If you want to read the full list you can find it  here.  While you're at it check out Kinkly, it is a great resource for everything sex related (probably best not to look at work though!).
