Over my holiday last week, I was away from my blog but I was thinking about it a lot! Especially the 3 awards I have received for it so far.The last one I received is a really special one to me ” versatile blogger.” I interpreted this as versatile writer ! Which for me is amazing as I write in 2 very different genres. I HAVE to be versatile and it’s nice to know that so far, I have managed to achieve this due to feedback from a reader with the award.
On the other hand, awards are great, I love participating with you all and answering questions so you can get to know me, and of course nominating other blogs I think are great, It’s all great fun. But I’m here as a writer/author first, on holiday I thought about the direction I would like my author’s website to go in after my first book is released, so I’ve decided to become an award free blog, comments, likes and interaction/conversation are really cool with me and more than enough.
I plan to continue to do as many writing challenges as I can, those of you who have been following know I hunt out 1 or 2 each week and blog a poem or short story according to the challenge prompt. I love participating in this way, I’m on the look out for more bloggers which post them for others to participate, I also plan to continue writing personal writing posts, and of course updating you on my book(s) and magazine publications, and writing about my random thoughts and feelings on life. I also plan to interact, get to know and have fun with all of you! Nothing changes in that respect.
Thank you for the awards I have received so far, thank you for considering me for them. As of the 7th August 2016 www.kimknightauthor.com is now award free!
With love,

You sound busy! I fully understand about needing to balance out all the writing tasks in your head! I have two blogs and am writing my book, plus going to start writing for a website and don’t know how I will fit it I?!? I love getting nominated for awards too as it’s flattering, but writers also have to sleep and eat haha 🙂 Best of luck. PS. It is nice to meet another BRIT 🙂 Though London scares me and I never go there-far too busy for me. I’m a country bumpkin 😉

London is a big a busy place. After a trip to the coast this week, I know I’ll always need cultural diversity and the buzz of a city in my life! The country is beautiful to view, but I know I’d feel lost out there… sadly. I’ve appreciated the awards, for me it’s not so much time taken or not having enough, it’s what’s important – writing first, interaction and talking to those who have or will hopefully enjoy my books next this is why I’ve become award free for the blog. I will never turn down awards for books though 🙂 Good luck with all your writing ventures.

Yes absolutely, writing first. 🙂 The only city I really connected with was NYC. I loved it there, but I like my beach walks with my doggies 🙂 I love how diverse we are and how we derive inspiration from environments that are so different! Thanks for your best wishes-back at ya 🙂

It has an AMAZING energy. I literally walked around grinning and overawed like a loon haha. It would be a fantastic backdrop for a story-go for it!
