First off, I'm a guest poster over at In Case of Survival, a post-apocalyptic survival site with excellent tips and a great sense of humour. I'm over there talking about . If you aren't subscribed to iCoS, then I strongly urge you to do so. They're my go-to site for anything about the post-apocalyptic world and they give some great advice. Thanks to the iCoS team for having me, and good luck to everyone trying to get zombie fit!

Also, Anna over at Universal Gibberish has given me some awesome awards:




There are quite a few rules for these awards, so I'm going to focus on the 7x7 Link Award to save space.

Rules: Link to the blog that gave you the award (done). Link to one of the posts that I personally think best fits the following seven categories and list seven blogs to pass it to.

  • Most Popular Piece: With the exception of the Natalie Portman post (because only those with questionable Google search histories go there, it seems) my most popular post was my fantasy art showcase on Jason Engle. No comments, but a hell of a lot of visits. Pictures do a lot of good, it seems.
  • Most Controversial Piece: I think the post I wrote on starting a series in the middle sparked the most debate and made me realise how my reading habits have changed since starting the blog.
  • Most Surprisingly Successful Piece: I was quite surprised at how many people liked my post for the Chinese New Year on my favourite dragons
  • Most Pride-Worthy Piece: Hands down, that was my entry for Cherie Reich's flash fiction contest. It was only 300 words, but it got me back into writing fiction again and it felt great. People seemed to like the concept and the magic system too, which was a plus.

And for the seven blogs that I nominate for all these awards:

Zoe at FantasyBytes
Hannah at My Book Journey
Joshua at Vive le Nerd
Allison at Geek Banter
Jeremy at Geeky Tendencies
Charles at The Written Word

  9. Ha, your guest post was funny. Does Just Dance count as cardio training? That's how I get my exercise. Congrats on the awards!!

  10. I'd say Just Dance totally counts towards cardio. After a session of dancing to Poker Face, I was completely pooped, so it's some good exercise.
