I have also been remiss about participating in two games of blog tag. I’ve been tagged by Barbara McDowell, http://writenowlife.wordpress.com/, and Sher Hart of http://www.sherahart.com/sf-writers-fancies-blog.html, who generously gave me a “Versatile Blogger Award.” Thanks, Sher!
Of course, there’s always a price. In this case, I have to write seven random things about myself, then pass it on to four other bloggers. Here are the seven:
1. I got hooked on writing when I was very young, like around the fourth grade or so. It was through Composition class, when I discovered that anyone could make up stories. So I did. I like the process of writing as well as having written.
2. I always try to be different in my writing. I do not like clichés. In my stories, the main characters never fit into a mold or stock character.
3. I like to travel. When I get to a new city or town, I love just to walk around for a couple of hours and poke into out of the way places. I like museums and such, but I also like just looking at neighbourhoods and sitting in a cafe or restaurant.
4. I may have undiagnosed ADD. And I love pie. And you know what bugs me? People who don’t finish what they start to say ... oh, wait, I have to check my Twitter account.
5. I’m not as funny as I think I am.
6. I drink too much coffee. But I’m not addicted. WHERE’S MY COFFEE?
7. I never read forms carefully enough.
There. Seven random things about me, for the Versatile Blogger Award. I have to come up with three more for another blogging tag game . Barbara McDowell, of writerolife.wordpress.com, wants me to write 10 random things about myself.
8. I often stay later at work than I have to.
9. I don’t fix things when I should. Now the warranty’s expired! Ohtenose!
10. I find Facebook frustrating.
There. Now, to tag a bunch of other bloggers. Get into it, pass it on, it helps raise our profiles! At least among other writers and bloggers.

Is anyone as funny as they think they are? I crack myself up, but the cat gives me a look of total disdain and my husband puts his hand over his eyes and groans at my jokes.
