I was awarded by N. R. Williams at N. R. Williams, Fantasy Author!
The rules for the Honest Scrap award are:
1. Thank the person who awarded you and link back to their blog. (Check!)
2. List ten things about yourself.
3. Award 7 other bloggers.
10 things about myself! Um, well, let's see . . .
1. The first actual chapter book that I finished, (not those reader things, like Nate the Great) was Charlotte's Web.
2. I don't like Pride and Prejudice. The book, that is; I've never seen the movie, nor do I intend to. Elizabeth got on my nerves, I'm afraid.
3. I've started stories in the SF, Paranormal, Fantasy, Mystery, Action/Adventure, Dystopia, and Realistic Fiction genres. (I have never, *cough* finished any of them, however.)
4. I tend to run out of steam with these sorts of questions right around this point.
5. I currently have mild writer's block with my story.
6. I love Word. I'd probably write less if Word was not around.
7. I like snow.
8. I think you bloggers rock.
9. I cannot play the banjo. I can, however, play the violin and piano, and I can make a recorder not sound like a train whistle. I fail at pan pipes.
10. I am ambidextrous to the point of being able to write with my left hand, although it usually comes out wobbly.
The 7 bloggers I award are (because I'm curious to see what they might come up with):
Mary
Simon Kewin
Jennifer Hillier
Sangu
Rachel Morgan
C. N. Nevets
Jessica Bell
*****
The tag is from Abby!
1.What is/are your favorite character/s from the show Little House On the Prairie?
I've never watched Little House On the Prairie, but from the book, I do like Laura.
2. What is your favorite dessert?
Frozen fruit. Blueberries, mango, strawberries, cherries, peaches . . . mmm.
3. What is your favorite state?
Alaska, for its nature. (I may not like Sarah Palin, but I do like the state itself.) Or Hawaii, although I wouldn't want to move there.
4. What is your favorite color?
More like color schemes . . . as long as it goes together well, I like it.
5. When is your birthday?
December!
6. What is your favorite TV show?
NOVA on PBS. That show rocks, I tell you. Last night they had one on the Chilean miners, going through the days as Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C went into action. I was grinning when they showed the miners coming up from the ground, since really, it was an amazing rescue!
7. What are your favorite condiments?
I don't use salt, pepper, stuff like that. (I'm assuming that's what you mean.) But I do like Newman's Own Sesame Ginger sauce.
8. What is your bedroom color?
Green. Light green. It's not sickly or anything, though.

The one about running out of steam with the questions was good!
Congratulations!
LOL! Congrats on your award! I love knowing a little more about peeps. :D
Oops, how embarrassing. I gave you this award as well. Ah, come on answer some questions, LOL
Congrats my friend.

Thanks, G'Eagle! I'm glad you think I might be interesting! I'll post my response within a few days. :)
A banjo is sort of like the deliquent child of a violin and a piano, isn't it?
Alex: Thank you!
Hannah: Me, too. I tried not to be boring here . . . :P
Jules: :D Thanks so much for awarding me, Jules! I'll post this award again soon then, and I'll be sure to link to you.
Nevets: I'm looking forward to it! And you ARE interesting!
Sort of, yeah. I could probably figure it out if I tried hard enough.
Congrats on your award! I loved the comment about running out of steam the best! Made me laugh out loud! :)
Questions are hard when written out like that. I would much rather answer those kinds of questions from a character's POV.

I'm going to act as an advocate for Pride and Predjudice. Last year I decided to read the original before I read the zombies version. The first 100 pages or so were tedious, but it was because I wasn't used to Austen's style and because of that obstacle I was missing the humor of the story. Eventually I got into the rhythm of the reading and realized it was a high brow comedy.
In the end I loved the book so much that I rented every DVD version I could find. My wife and I watched them all and enjoyed them all. The newest version is the least good. The best is the 1940s version. If you don't mind those old black and white films I recommend it. The movie is funny and Laurence Olivier's Mr. Darcy is absolutely superb as are all of the actors' roles.
You might want to give it another chance. Maybe wait a few years and it will seem better. There's a reason that this book is considered such a classic.

Tossing It Out
grats on the award, ge!
later on, when you can afford it, you may wanna check out 'dramatica pro', a brilliant piece of writing software... it won't write your tale, but it will help point you in various directions and offer great suggestions....
I like your number 4 in the first round.
...enjoyed the info:)
Word of advice...if you're not a fan of "Pride" the story, you'll despise the flick...movie buff beware!
Congratulations on the award...My BD is in December too...I'm going to have to check out that ginger sauce.
Have a great week!
Interesting things about yourself, and nice answers! I cannot play the banjo either, but I have learned how to play both the piano and violin, but forgot everything I was taught! :)
The first time I've heard someone say they weren't a fan of Elizabeth! Good for you for sharing your true feelings!
Congratulations on your award. It was fun to learn more about you. I love Word too!
If you get a chance tomorrow, please stop by my blog. I'm hosting a Halloween Haunting!
Congrats on the award. Pride & Prejudice is not my favorite Austen novel as well. I can not play the banjo as well.
Have a great week!

Jen: Elizabeth never particularly appealed to me, although she does have more sense that some of the other characters.
Theresa: Thank you!
I checked out your Halloween Haunting--awesome idea, BTW!
