The Blog Of The Year Award
I am hugely honoured to receive The Blog Of 2012 Award from a truly great blogmaster, John Clinock. John runs an inspiring and amazingly artistic feast of a blog, known as Art Rat Cafe. Thank you so much John! I am also pleased to receive the second award from Joe at I Am For Change, who writes a very positive and refreshing blog. Thank you also to OA Writings Poems, Paintings for the third Blog of The Year Award. Thank you to a very talented artist, Heekeow, for her Blog Of The Year Award. Thank you so much Tarisai Mzwimbi for his Blog of The Year 2012 Award, which gives me my fifth star! Thank you so much Joe. I will now award this to three very deserving recipients, who are all talented and prolific.. Their names will be revealed after the rules.
1. Select another blog or other blogs who deserve the ‘blog of the Year 2012’ Award.
2. Write a blog post and tell us about the blog(s) you have chosen – there’s no minimum or maximum number of blogs required – and ‘present’ them with their award.
3. Please include a link back to this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award – http://thethoughtpalette.co.uk/our-awards/blog-of-the-year-2012-award/ and include these ‘rules’ in your post (please don’t alter the rules or the badges!)
4. Let the blog(s) you have chosen know that you have given them this award and share the ‘rules’ with them.
5. You can now also join our Facebook group – click ‘join’ on this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award Facebook group and then you can share your blog with an even wider audience.
6. As a winner of the award – please add a link back to the blog that presented you with the award – and then proudly display the award on your blog and sidebar … and start collecting stars…
7. There are stars to collect! Yes, there are stars to collect! Unlike other awards, which you can only add to your blog once – this award is different! When you begin you will receive the 1 star award, and every time you are given the award by another blog, you can add another star!
8. There are a total of 6 stars to collect. At which time your “badge” will look like this:
You can check out your favourite blogs, and even if someone else has already given them the award, you can still award them again and help them to reach the maximum 6 stars!
Now for my nominations and the criteria for my decision.
I am always impressed by imaginative and prolific work, which captures artistry, and takes me somewhere else. I love escaping into worlds created lovingly by others, whether they be writers, artists or photographers, if they can translate their vision and allow me to go on that journey with them then I think they deserve this award. My nominations are Chantal Boudreau, for Word Blurb, in which she reviews, interviews, and shares her own very prolific writing and stylish illustrations. Chantal has written in many genres, has been published numerous times and is an amazingly talented writer/illustrator. Ren Garcia For The Temple of the Exploding Head, an insight into his imaginative mythology, The League of Elder. Ren has not only written a mind-blowing series in The League, but has ingenious ways of promoting his world, through mixed media, through art and video, through humour and has even had made models of his wonderful characters. Both Chantal and Ren are talented writers, who also have the good fortune of possessing great business heads (something I lack personally) They also have in common with my third nominee the ‘need’ to create as if it is intrinsic to their life. Finally but certainly not lastly, Richard Guest for The Future is Papier Mache, in which he takes stunning photography of people in the city around him, capturing moments with them, translating moods and feelings, sharing many real life ‘characters’ with his viewer. I have become captivated by his work. He has a great rapport with his subjects, which shows in his photography. Richard cares about the people and places he photographs and tells us about them. Because of this his reader/viewer becomes engrossed in his work.

Wonderful Team Member Readership Award
I am very honoured to be nominated by Art Rat Cafe. Thank you John Clinock.
1. The nominee of the Wonderful Team Member Readership Award shall display the logo on his/her post/page and/or sidebar
2. The nominee shall nominate 10 readers they appreciate over a period of 7 days. This can be done at any rate during the week. It can be all on one day or a few on one day and a few on another day etc.
3. The nominee must finish this sentence and post: “A great reader is..”
PLEASE NOTE RULES CAN BE ADDED TO/AMENDED if deemed appropriate; let’s be creative, and let’s grow & improve, but let’s also keep to the spirit of the award
My nominees are:
1: Michele Dacosta, (museum of documentary and fiction) for her inspirational documentary work, overseas.
2: The Amateur’s Quill, by Tebogo Ndlovu. Philosophical and poetic, and in her own words; “the phenomenon that we make an impact on the people around us, creating experiences that mold our characters and change our lives adversely or favorably.”
3: Nathan Filbert for his beautifully crafted blog exploring language and art. Man of The World.
4: Just A Thought Inside My Head, for a very intimate and artistic peeling back of layers.
5: Lesley Carter, for her ultra adventurous travel blog, making the real world look fun! Bucket List Publications
6: Michael D Woods, Writer and artist. Pest Control Technician.
7: Falling Short of the Absolute Truth is an experiment in story telling.
8: Afternoon Tea, short stories by Darla McDavid.
9: Beautifully written poetry, by Julia Dean-Richards, at A Place For Poetry.
10: Pfugler, mythology and folk law from around our galaxy. Some unusual and creative short films by Cynthia Echterling.
A great reader is… open minded enough to explore new concepts, to recognise themselves in what they read, even if momentarily. Empathy and imagination allows us to place ourselves in the lives of others. Emotion, conjured by a fictional catalyst, can only work if the reader relates to and empathises with the characters. The writer is just a conduit, it’s the reader who breathes life into what he or she reads.
The Addictive Blog Award
I was very pleased to receive this award from Sonya Glyn Nicholson who writes an inspirational blog called Ironically: Rare, Acts & Deeds of the Style Prowess.
To accept, I must post the awards on this page, tell who sent the awards, write about why I blog and then recommend others (up to 10) and notify them that they have been awarded.
The reason I write.
Since an early age I’ve never really felt part of the real world. Although I am interested in real people, I feel somewhat disconnected for large intervals. I felt my body and my self didn’t quite belong together, because I wanted to be treated the same way as my brother, but society and nature derailed this delusion. As a child I used to face this inability to be part of a ‘group’ by becoming different people inside my head, by placing myself into the role of someone I was more comfortable being. Children do this a lot, but for some reason I never quite grew out of this phase. I didn’t start my first short story until the age of twelve, but found comfort in writing. It enabled me to express myself in ways that eluded (and still elude) me in real life. This mutated into other reasons through time, with my father’s death and all the inevitable questions that occur as a result of attempting to accept something so final. Hope springs from grief, along with many other conflicting emotions, which become fictional cocktails, mixed to create new lives, lived far away from the grimness of something so painful. I learnt to take parts of the real world and place them safely into new people, fashioned from everything and everyone who has had an impact on me in reality. Without this cushion I would be nothing, I would be reduced to feeling inadequately trapped inside the body which didn’t fit me as a child. The best thing I’ve done in reality, is to have created a real son, but in fiction I can create whole worlds, become anything I dream and share that with others in ways my clunky socially inept self couldn’t possibly pull off in reality.
Now here are 10 very addictive blogs:
1: Deidra Alexander’s Blog. In her own words, “I have people to kill, lives to ruin, plagues to bring, and worlds to destroy. I am not the Angel of Death. I’m a fiction writer.”
2: Welcome to The Asylum, by the very talented J.S Chancellor
3: Word Blurb, by Chantal Boudreau, a prolific artist, writer and reviewer.
One Lovely Blog Award
Thank you to Michele Dacosta, (museum of documentary and fiction) who has one of the most inspirational blogs on wordpress; for the photographic and documentary work she produces overseas in troubled countries. I’m honoured to receive the One Lovely Blog Award from her! Thanks also to Tina and Caroline for The One Lovely Blog Award. You can visit their website, A Readers Review Blog, here. Thanks to Mary Myers for The One Lovely Blog Award. Thanks also to Gabriel for the One Lovely Blog Award to, Paharidotme at Discovering myself, and to Tebogo Ndlovu for the One Lovely Blog Award too! Thanks to Steven L Campbell for the One Lovely Blogger Award, and to Sage Doyle for the One Lovely Blog Award and Christopher at Reality Enchanted for his One Lovely Blog Award
Now for “The Rules.” Anyone nominated for the One Lovely Blog Award must do the following to keep this unique prize rolling:
- Thank the person who nominated you and link to them in your post.
- Share seven unknown things about yourself.
- Nominate other bloggers and blogs you like or admire… 15 or so if possible.
- Contact the bloggers you nominate to let them know and to link them back to your post so they can read “The Rules,” too.
The second “rule” demands that I share seven unknown things about myself, which will not be easy.
Here are the seven.
1. When I was young I thought I was a boy.
2. I still secretly believe I’ll meet my characters one day, as they are as real as living people to me
3. I get on better with ‘loners’ than large groups
4. I used to have a big crush on Glynis Barber (Makepeace)
5. I prefer cats to dogs
6. My family are more important to me than most other things apart from writing and drawing
7. I’m generally quite a confused human being
Now here are the people who I believe deserve to get my vote for One Lovely Blog Award (If I could nominate Michele Dacosta as well, I would!)
1. My good friend Chantal Boudreau for her prolific writing, artwork and reviews.
2. The Unknown Phlogger for some beautiful art photography, poetry and writing
3. The Temple of The Exploding Head, by the very funny and talented Ren Garcia
4. My amazing son, Sam (12) for his ambitious and imaginative poetry
5. Welcome To The Asylum, by J.S Chancellor
6. Appropriately Frayed, by Unsouthern Belle
7. Living In Fairyland, An etiquette guide for sl!!s
8. The Future is Papier Mache by Richard Guest
9. Art Rat Cafe by John Clinock
10. Anelephantcant
12. Steven Leo Campbell, creating new worlds
13. If writing was a child’s play
14. Flying over a forest, LC Aisling
15. Nonoy Manga
I discovered today that I have won the Reader Appreciation Award after being nominated by Steven Leo Campbell. This is my first award for blogging, and I’m intrigued that it’s a reader appreciation one. I don’t know who created the award, but I’m glad to see that Steven was a recipient too.

You’re welcome and it’s good to meet you too, good luck also with the publication. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, I appreciate it. 😀
I love your imagination. I also love your epitaph: The writer breathes life into a story, but the reader keeps it alive. My favorite quote is similar: from READING IN THE BRAIN, by Stanislas Dehaene: he quotes Alberto Manguel, who says: “The existence of the text is a silent existence, silent until the moment in which a reader reads it. Only when the able eye makes contact with the markings on the tablet does the text come to active life. All writing depends on the generosity of the reader.”

Hello Cheryl Moore,
You’ve been to my blog a couple of times and expressed “Like” so thank you for that. I’ve been to your blog a few times and realize the complexities that make up a person need not be understood to be appreciated. (That’s my way of saying, “Wow! You go girl!”)
So now I’m asking for your help. If you or any of my daughters (or sons) read these posts (http://mlbergitn.wordpress.com/tag/alice-zeorlin/) what would your reaction be? Not so much what is your reaction to my reaction but “What is your reaction to global protocols, manifested in local politic?”
I’ve tried to be fair and honest in my approach to life. We share that trait.
Dan
I think your illustrations, stories, and writings are wonderful, so I nominated you and your blog for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. (I posted the requirements on my blog just in case you feel like going for it – http://www.oilpastelsbymary.com)

Hi Cheryl. Thanks for visiting and following my blog. You’re drawings are amazing! What an incredible amount of work you’ve done here. I wish I could draw my characters, but I have no skill in the visual arts. Instead, I have to satisfy myself with scouring the internet or through magazines for images, or else gawking at people on the street who resemble my characters and hoping not to get my a** kicked for staring too long.
Hi Janna, thank you, yes I used to do that too 🙂
Hi Cheryl, thanks for following my blog. I must say your illustrations and writings are an inspiration to me. Keep up the good work! 🙂
Hi good to meet you and thank you too! Cheryl

Love all your stories, and pass on the fun of the Very Inspiring Blogger Award: Hi again, Roxi ~ We’ve so very much enjoyed your art and writing, and your visits to us, and so pass on to you the Very Inspiring Blogger Award for a job well done: http://lairdwilliam.com/2013/03/01/glad-to-inspire/
Thank you so much! 😀
You made me curious and I came back. My eyes note you are a non-exploitative feminist. I’m a guy with guy eye and to make cute kids we have to see women in sexual ways. You have chosen a tough niche; Sci Fi guys often have guy eye. I had a navigation glitch which kept me from enjoying the story. You can override guy eye, but added obstacles hurt. Just some honest feedback. I see talent and I wish I had a tenth.
Ah yes, that male gase, my mortal enemy, and something Alexand Merek would stick two fingers up to 🙂

Hi Cheryl! Many thanks for your ‘Like’ of my “Night” post yesterday. Your blog is really impressive; I’ll consider myself fortunate if I ever garner an audience like yours. All best to you.
You’re very welcome and thank you too!
Hello Cheryl ! Thanks for stopping by my blog and making your existence known to me 🙂 I am absolutely fascinated by yours! You have embodied what I truly believe : imagination knows no bounds! And once you set it free, and you give it a heartbeat, it takes a life of its own, merely using your body has a vessel. I will keep looking around here for a few minutes, if you don’t mind… 🙂 Keep smiling!
Hi, IMN, good to meet you and thank you 😀
Thank you for following my blog, I hope you enjoy the show
Thanks for liking a post and following my blog. Best wishes to you and your work here.
You’re an amazing illustrator. Wow…
I wish you all the best in your endeavors. You’ve got something truly…. “special.” Sounds trite, I know….but this time it’s the reality.
Lovely, stunning work.
Hi Tanyeno, thank you, that means a lot to me, and I find your blog very inspiring. It’s good to meet you. Cheryl
HI! 🙂
That’s nice, cause you are VERY talented. It’s good to meet you Cheryl. :-)))
AnElephantCant remember when he last came here

Great blog you’ve got here. Rich in visual and literal treats 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and liking Fulfilled!
Hi Danielle, you’re welcome and thank you too! Cheryl
Thanks very much for liking my post, Cheryl. Your characters have a ‘life of their own’, I feel…:)
Cheryl, Whuoah! This overwhelms me! Nominated for all these awards? And you make time to come visit all these blogs? Even mine? That’s simply remarkable. Invigorating blog here, and what a vibrant community you’ve inspired. I hope all the best for you.—M
Hi Melissa, you’re welcome and that’s the beauty of WordPress, it’s such a vibrant and inspiring community to be involved with, and I’m glad to be part of it and thank you too for stopping by, I’m glad you enjoyed reading. Cheryl
Thank you for following my blog! I appreciate it so much!
I started reading/scrolling through some of your writing and artwork, and I have to say… I’m excited to read more! =)
Hi Allison, you’re welcome and thank you for visiting here too. Glad you like the stories. Good to meet you. Cheryl
Thanks for coming by Hoomahmoos. Looking over your blog this looks like something I’ve wanted to do myself for a while Thanks for giving me some more impetus and push that I’ve needed.
Hey you’re welcome, Loran! 😀 Thank you too.
Hi, Cheryl. I think whoever thought your name was “Gerald” had a lazy listening ear and was a bit idio- (add suffix of your choice. Choose Your Own Word adventure on me.) Whew, well now you are a lively lovely libertariatian of not liturgical liturature with picturogragh pictorials that remind me of crosshatchings of occult comix in obscure cubbyholes in the juvenille section of my childhood library. I can’t recall the name- a moritorium, a sanctimonius morturarium… gosh dang it- where they stack people three high inside behind marble. Well the old Tigard, OR library was like that. It had uneven flooring and the books felt like the remains (truely are) of people who are mostly dead.
Not “mostly dead” in a Princess Bride Wesley-is-mostly-dead way. You know. Dead dead, like “conversation is one-way only. Well I liked how the old library collectively smelled like pages, as a mortellio or mortu-zoo-ium smells like roses. I like you desperate explosive bloody characters and the juicy illustrations, they feel like real GI, not CGI pabulum and I dig it. Ever read “The Flying Cats” series? It feels cross hatched catscratch a’lika that. And I like it. I like it a loht! Hope you are well today. I can’t figure out how I’m going on with blogging next. Sideways twostep, I think.
Take care,
Magi Andreas Templar Urbani
Hi Magi, and the Sandman… Don’t forget the Sandman. 😀 Good to meet you too. Thank you. Cheryl
Oh- they are called “Mauseleums”. Ugh. I hit about five phoentics differentials before I can distinguish a decicive dialog directly. I like so sing “Ave María” in mauseluems, real soft, way down the hall. Singer’s trick, you might try this for Kareoke- take an updose of guaifinessen and your lungs and sinus crank out heavily and clearly and more on tune, so if you were to belt out Jeff Buckley’s “Eternal Life”” you know what its like to live forever for a few minutes. Heh heh.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I look forward to yours. Your illustrations are powerful and wonderful. Thanks again…
Thank you too, I enjoyed looking at your paintings. Good to meet you. Cheryl

And for another nomination: Much like the lovely blogger who nominated me, I generally don’t participate in these awards things. (I know, I know, EVERYONE says that), but I thought the WordPress Family Award was actually pretty special, decided to spread the love, and nominated you. Stop by my latest post accepting the award for details if you’re interested (http://wp.me/pwIUF-5B )…I promise I won’t be offended if you’re not though. I know a lot of people don’t do these or carefully pick and choose which ones. Cheers!
Thank you so much Devon, I also find wordpress one of the most welcoming places on the net and I’m very appreciative to receive this award from you. I’ll get busy tomorrow and add it and a link to you, on my thank you page. All the best, Cheryl
🙂 Best to you as well, and thank you for supporting me and our fellow bloggers!

wow…I am blown away… awesome concept. Sketches and Characters, nice combo.
Thank you 😀
Thank you for liking “Swan” and for following Imagine New Designs Gallery. Your illustrations are beautifully drawn, and I hope you have the best of luck with your future creative projects. 🙂
Greetings Cheryl Moore:
Not knowing what to expect when I first encountered your blog, my first feeling was of being overwhelmed. So many stories, so many illustrations. Also there’s a uniformity of style to the illustrations, so at first one doesn’t know where to settle one’s attention and to linger. The graphite powder falls like snow onto one vibrating sheet of paper after another, outlines and forms becoming defined in your heart and nerve vibrations, one image after another emerging as the powder is blown away. One wonders where you find the time to do so much and can’t help but to imagine an assembly-line method of production. I envy you for your output. I myself am lucky if I can complete an image in a couple months. Your drawings have a curious effect of having the essence of what might come hot off the newspaper press, the photographic image transmuted by your human touch and transplanted into the diverse and engaging slice of life and noirish world set in some future you have created. I figure many who encounter your blog for the first time, like me, don’t know where to start. Then I started reading, and clicking around, one wonderfully defined character and episode – great writing – threading through to other characters and episodes, then what first came to my mind is the Choose Your Own Adventure books I used to read as a kid. I loved those books, and what you appear to have done here is to raise it to another level, to sophisticate it and to blow it open for adults, the pieces of story of some larger kaleidoscope falling into place in a “disconnected” way. But there’s still an overall pattern you’re striving for one senses, maybe as yet unknown to you, only vaguely sensed, with the unifier of your printing press with human touch style in illustration helping you along. In short, it is a great larger concept through which to create you’ve struck upon and the entirety is unfolding into a wonderful and inspiring accomplishment. There are treasures hidden here, of written lines, of details in certain illustrations; on one level one finds oneself a child again on an easter egg hunt. I’m sincerely glad to have discovered you and your work, you making yourself discoverable by me, and I will certainly be spending more time here to absorb as much as I can, to get to know your characters, and to learn from you in a way that’s not detrimental to my own creative integrity. This is a compliment to your power.
Thank you, John.
Thank you for liking “Sea Caves” and for following imaginenewdesigns. I admire your work, and I am glad this blog allows you to showcase your creative talent. 🙂
Hi
I’ve happily stumbled into your blog. I enjoyed reading a few scenes and will definitely come back for more. Your illustrations are fantastic. You capture and amazing depth of human emotion.
Thanks for sharing!
Good to meet you, CK and thank you! 😀
“This is a copy paste message”
Hi there my name is Almeida Garcez, and I´m a freelance illustrator and writer.
I love to listen, and interpretate the power of words.
My work is mainly focus on social issues, philosophy, and existentialism.
Right now I´m into a very personal project, that I think it´s the answer for all forms of life – collaboration.
I illustrate people´s phrases, songs and wandering thoughts, I´ve called it Abandoned Illustrations.
The reason that I´m “reaching” you, it´s because you followed me a couple of weeks ago.
I hope it wasn´t a mechanical reaction that bursted out of you.
I hope the first reaction I caused in you, was good, and my work truly made you reflect.
We both know it´s easy to follow someone, since we already do that in our role in society,
and in all sorts of ideologies.
Please unfollow me if you only intended to sell your marketing.
If you didn´t returned to my blog after you followed me, please go to:
http://almeidagarcez.wordpress.com/about-the-guilty-preacher-spirits-link/
http://almeidagarcez.wordpress.com/about/
There you can take a look at the topography of my reflections, and overall geography of my brain.
If you come to a conclusion that after all you don´t like my interpretations and analogies, please unfollow my blog.
Kindest Regards

A quick word to let you know I have nominated you for the ‘Very Inspired Bloggers Award.’ I know you’ve received it before, so you know what’s involved, but in case you need a refresher, the terms of acceptance can be found at the bottom of my post: http://crimsonprose.wordpress.com/2013/12/22/when-the-unexpected/. And you already have the award-jpg. Best wishes for the new year, and keep on blogging. CP
Thank you so much and Happy New Year to you, all the best for 2014.
An impressive list of awards! Thank you for following my blog.
Likewise, thank you, it’s good to meet you!
Welcome aboard, Cheryl. It’s good to meet you and be introduced to your work. Great concept of drawing your characters – it defines them in a way that makes them exactly your own. Very enjoyable.
Best wishes,
Miles and Pippa
Thanks Miles and Pippa, good to meet you too!

Hello. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the follow. You have an amazing blog!
Good to meet you Liz, and thank you too, all the best for 2014. Cheryl.
Hey – just messaging to make you aware of my competition, I really value everyone who decided to follow my blog (there may be one or two I fear who just spilt coffee on themselves and accidentally clicked the button.. but I’m still taking it as a win). I need help deciding which poems to perform in the next month or two and I’d really value your opinion.
Stay Well – Mart
Your blog looks fantastic. Thank for the like.
Thank you!
Much better experience visiting your blog this time. Either you fixed navigational problems or I did a better job navigating. I critiqued you on the “guy eye” factor and it appears you have added more attractive characters and some action oriented illustration. I have a greater feeling for your success. I made my “guy eye” comments in March of last year when I was new to blogging and didn’t check the box for follow-up. I understand the desire to do something different, but commercial success, in this genre, needs to attract the rather standard male eye.
Thanks, glad your second visit was a better experience for you.
Your drawings as well as your writing, impress and inspire me very much.
Thank you 😀
Dear Cheryl,
You continue to astound me, happily so, with your stories through the years. The beauty and brilliance of your stories never falter and I live through your characters and their plights. It seems to me that you have taken the essence of self-publishing and run with it, (though you would not care to think of this; only caring to write and draw). You create backstories so immediate and elaborate to be woven into each other that the ‘whole being greater than it’s parts’ is a trifling phrase to describe your work.
Thank you for the stories you create, one in particular that you dedicated to me, which I’m still astonished and grateful for.
I send you my appreciation for you thanks.
Warmest regards,
Lee
Thank you, Lee, that means a lot to me. Cheryl
You’re rocking my world, Cheryl Moore.
Thanks for finding and following me. I’m a little humbled after seeing what you have going on here! Ultimately, though, I’m just glad for the opportunity to “meet” you and read your outstanding work. Can’t wait to fully dive in here…
All My Love,
AZ Gringa

Hi Jennifer, it’s good to meet you too, and I’m also enjoying reading your blog, I find your work very witty, and am also pleased I’m able to read more of your blog. I love the experimental nature of your art and writing. Thanks for stopping by here too, I’m glad you’re enjoying reading. Best wishes, Cheryl
Feverish intensity. Reminds me of a profile of an artist, whose name I can’t remember, profiled in the New Yorker, who labored in relative obscurity for years and drew these enormous, complicated portraits of alternative realities. No one know much about him until he passed away. I hope you find your place int he annals of the genres you are working in, in living time and soon.
Hi, Rudy, that means a lot, thank you for your encouragement, I’m glad you enjoyed it. (I hope so too) All the best to you, Cheryl

Cheryl,
Thanks for liking my blog. I don’t know how you found it or what you read, but the fleeting interaction, like brushing past me on a crowded street, was welcome.

Hi Cheryl! I’ve nominated you for the Blogger Recognition Award, here is the link: https://danicapiche.com/2017/02/22/blogger-recognition-award-writers-edition/
I hope you’ll enjoy it! If you’re unable to participate please accept this gesture of my appreciation. 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Thanks for liking my blog post. You have a very interesting and creative blog. I especially love the illustrations. Keep up the good work!
Hi, Gayle, you have some beautiful stories and memoirs on your blog, which I am very much enjoying reading. I’m glad you like the illustrations. Best wishes to you. Cheryl
Hey Cheryl, thanks for dropping by my site and leaving a trail back to yours. You certainly have wonderful thing going on here, and I’m thinking that I ought to mirror your format style. Unlike yourself, I’m somewhat new to fiction; actually, that’s an outright lie, but not an intentional one; you see, it’s more like I’ve stepped away from fiction, and have busied myself with other styles of writing, and now I feel it’s time to return home and warm myself next to the fireplace. My socks are wet and my feet have blisters due to walking in the bog of forgetfulness; hell, you know, the more time we spend away from our natural talent, the more we shrink, but we also grow. Are you too young to cuddle with me next to this fire? To feel the coziness of intimacy? Of course you are, but through stories the world sparkles in the palm of our clammy hands. So before my fingers push another key… without having to praise thee, I want you to know that you have intrigued me. xoxo
Hi Jason, I thoroughly enjoyed reading, The Winds of Change, as there is some beautiful dialogue between Jason and Thomas. I need to find myself some time to read more issues. I’m glad you liked Unbound Boxes too. As for the format, it’s whatever works with your writing style, although I have had some constructive criticism that white text on a black background is harder to read. (But I kept this format anyway, because I like it) Here’s to future reading, and it’s very good to meet a fellow writer who publishes a series. Cheryl.
Your kindness matches your creative genius, and your words are as a sweet aroma to me. I strongly suspect your work will continue to inspire me and help me to grow as a writer of fiction. I also love the way you embellish your writing with beautiful art. This certainly helps to make the story come to life all the more. Your attention to detail is astounding. In addition, I would like to share one of my artistic mediums with you, more so as a way for you to broaden your horizons, that more souls might gravitate towards your creation.

PS: The lyrical poem was created as a means to enhance my story. Lucifer sang this song to God moments after he was thrown out of heaven for good, according to my fiction that is.
Hi Jason, thank you. I’ve just listened to your song on Youtube, and it’s beautiful. People should go and visit it. Was that William Blake’s work in the background?
Thank you Cheryl, the links in the description section provide info about the footage used in the video. Can you foresee yourself in the future using your art in this manner so as to create promo videos for your fiction?
Hi Jason, this is something I’ve been thinking about for a while, but I’m still not sure what medium yet.
I’m confident that you will choose wisely.
Your drawings are impressive and so is your writing. I confess I am a bit overwhelmed by your work, your awards, your blog and just EVERYTHING here. I would love to offer awards but I’m not sure I have the tech savy ability to follow all the rules, et al. I am only blogging by the good graces of my very tech savy son. Sigh. But I am so very glad that you read and liked one of my stories – in fact, I’m flattered. Thank you!!! And very happy that it brought me here. I have lots to explore AND you have given me a trove of other writers to check out. I’ll be following you. Perhaps we’ll check in with one another again.
All the best, Linda
