The Blogger Recognition Award

Traci Kenworth

This award was totally unexpected and I’m both excited and thrilled to accept it. I was nominated by Sally Cronin over on Smorgasbord-Variety is the Spice of Life. I did this in my Christmas post already, but I wanted to again thank those that read my blogs, that comment on them, and that promote them. I couldn’t do this without my faithful readers and the new ones that come along to join the site.

Participation is optional. Here’s my award for your journey.

My answers:

1. Thank you again, Sally Cronin of Smorgasbord-Variety is the Spice of Life.
2. You’re reading it, lol.
3. How my blogs got started: Where Genres Collide or TraciKenworth.com came first, of course. Although, I believe I called it a couple other names before settling on the last. I started it way back in 2009 as part of the YAFF members Muse stories series. We posted every third or fourth Wed. I believe. I started reading other blogs about that time, liked what I saw, and began experimenting with content. The links are more recent. I used to have two sets, one for romance and more adult fiction and one for YA & MG. When I broke off the LoletaAbi.wordpress.com, I took the romance and such with it. It came about as I wanted to explore writing for an adult audience. Country-Lane-Home-at-the-Cottage.com started because I wanted to share recipes, books, dollar hacks etc. and perhaps have a means to some financial help as well.
4. Two pieces of advice: Experiment with your blogs. It’ll help you find your audience. Don’t give up! Even when it seems a slow climb, you’ll get there!
5. Bloggers:

I’m going to open this to whoever wants to do so.

• Awaiting links back to comment.
• I didn’t realize sooner that Robbie from Robbie’s Inspirations and RobertaWrites also nominated me from this award! I am pleased and very encouraged by these nominations. Thank you again, Robbie!
