The Versatile Blogger Award

I want to thank Spacerguy for including me in his recipients of The Versatile Blogger awards. I am honored. If you haven't been to his blog, and you like Star Trek, you are missing out. He has a blog dedicated to Star Trek. You can visit him HERE. I followed him through the A to Z Challenge and it was fun seeing the amazing things he came up with for each letter of the alphabet. He's a very creative person and his blog is fantastic!

Now, I'm supposed to tell you seven things about myself. SOme you might already know, but here goes:

1. I started writing in high school and published my first story in an anthology in school called The Black Box. Even then I was bent towards sci-fi and fantasy.

2. I am a mother of three fantasic children, who are now grown and on their own. I even have one grandchild, who is four years old.

3. I played viola in the symphony for many years and even toured Europe and Japan in orchestras. It was a real eye opener to visit other countires and people. When I was in Japan, my first meal that I was served was Kentucky Fried Chicken! Their hospitality was fabulous.

4. I spent two years studying the ways of Buddhism, American style. It was a lonely time in my life and I think I met more people in this short period of time than the rest of my life.

5. My favorite all time sci-fi movie has to be The Day The Earth Stood Still. I still watch it when the opportunity arises.

6. At age 60, I am taking a class on Imaginative Writing at my local college. I believe it's never too late to learn.

7. I write everyday. It's a habit that I got into a ccouple of years ago and has helped me develop my writing skills.
