Creative Writer Blogger Award
Marianne Arkins gave me the “Creative Writer Blogger Award.” Check out Marianne’s blog for a chance to win her giveaway on the 22nd!
Here are the rules: I tell either six truths and one lie, or six lies and one truth about myself, and you get to figure out which, and leave a fun or silly comment. Feel free to try to figure out which is which!! Everyone is offering a prize, so I will, too:
One person who comments on this post between now and Monday will get the eBook of their choice from Samhain Publishing or Desert Breeze (mine are available at both publishers) or a $5 GC to Amazon.com or BN.com (for those of you with Kindles and Nooks). The drawing will be held 5/24 in the early morning, and I’ll announce it on my blog that day.
First, let me nominate seven other authors for this honor:
* Anne Patrick
* Miss Mae
* Stephanie Burkhart
* Jennifer Shirk
* Celia Yeary
* Evie Alexis
* Rebecca Vickery
Now on to my truths and lies:
1. I was a carhop at a root beer stand.
2. I worked in a bar for a short time during college.
3. I was Rosalind in the OSU production of Shakespeare’s play, As You Like It.
4. My dummy Chris and I entertained my family with my ventriloquism act.
5. My friend, Rosemary and I hitchhiked home from college.
6. While at the Gettysburg Battlefield, I fell, hurt my arm and went to the hospital. (No, not during the actual battle. I’m not that OLD. lol My senior class went there for the class trip.)
7. I wanted to attend Bowling Green State University.

Thanks for playing!
Is there sucha thing as a root beer stand? I’m voing that #1 is the lie
May 19th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
By the process of elimination, I (like Marianne)am guessing that #1 is the lie and the others are all true. You’re pretty good at this.
I really liked your qualification on #6. I can hear your kids saying now, “Mom are you sure you’re not THAT old???” LOL
BTW thanks for my award. I’ll post and play this weekend, I hope.

Of course, there were Root Beer Stands. I’m guessing number four is the lie. Thanks–I needed something for my blog RIGHT THIS MINUTE, and I know what I’ll say. Thanks!! Celia

Diane, I, too, am going to call #4 a boldfaced lie. LOL. You must let us know which one is an untruth.
May 19th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
I’ll tell on Monday - you guys are going to be surprised.
May 19th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
I think 1 is true and 5 is a lie.
May 19th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
I think #2 is a lie, Diane. And thanks for passing this award on to me. I’m afraid I wasn’t nearly as creative though.
May 19th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
I’m going to guess that #3 is untrue.
May 20th, 2010 at 7:03 am
Woohoo - one of you caught the lie!
May 20th, 2010 at 9:34 am
I am going to say they are all true except #5… hitchhiking is dangerous!
May 20th, 2010 at 11:21 am
I’m going say all are/or could be true except #4. Admit it you do have a dummy but the name is really “Woody” or something…lol, jk. I really hope you didn’t hitchhike but guess if you did no bad harm came to you or you wouldn’t be blogging!
