Gooooooooodmoooorning vietnam!!!! Okay, maybe this is not Vietnam or an amazing movie with Robin Williams (R.I.P) and or even morning time when you are reading this, but heck screw the rules at this moment, because its time for an another amazing nomination for an award. The “Blogger Recognition Award” and for this award I want to give a special shoutout to ChasingTheMaximumLife! She has nominated me for this award and I want you all, REALLY YOU ALL, to go out and check her blog! She just goes with the flow and loves to write about everything, she is not only that person who shares information, but she also really likes to connect with her followers and also does the same back for the community. She is an amazing writer and a friend in this amazing community that we dare to call WordPress. So please, make sure you feel pressured to check out her blog; One Click Away “ChasingTheMaximumLife“! 

 

How al of this just happened; Overnight thinking! 

So, the  real question is; “How did my blog start?”. Good question to ask honesty. I had this “Blog” for many years now, it once started as an project for school. We had to do some creative writing and share it on WordPress. Can’t remember why WordPress, but yeah. That was step one, Many years later 2020 was upon us and I was really itching my heart to write and share once again. In al those years I did write for fun and everything like most of us do and has done, but it didn’t feel right anymore. I wanted to share my work, I wanted to inspire people and I  want to connect with all of you. This was step 2. After long thinking, editing, preparing, playing and finding my way I finally grabbed my guts together and started to write and share with all of you. Covid-19 was the reason for me to do what I really love, to be who I’m supposed to be and got remembered that we only have one live to life! And now we are living step 3! “One Community one goal, To write and inspire” 

Do you have any advice for new bloggers?; Do you really ask me this!  

yes, I do have any advice for all of you fellow bloggers, readers and or lovers. Today, as lovely it is could be one of our last day to life. So we should “carpe diem” every day! So what gives if we are afraid for something or anything. Fear is good, fear keeps us focused and strong. The real question is “what do you do with it?”. do you admit to fear and stop living, or do you have a leap of faith and start shining everyday over and over again? for me its option 2.  I’m going to be honest with all of you I was that guy who lived by fear everyday over and over again! but now we just have to embrace and enjoy life! 

So if you need any advice for your blog/vlog or whatever we have these days. I would say; 

  1. set a goal. (what do you want to achieve? first month, year or 5 years. whatever) this helps you to be consistent and focused. 
  2. Connect, be honest and yourself. (People love to see the real you and not some fiction of an imagination. they want to know who you are.)
  3. Always follow your heart. (She knows whats right for you) 
My lovely nominees are; Beauty off art!
To my lovely nominees I say; Thank you implied to all! 

I Want you al to know that you all are amazing bloggers and lovers for this amazing community! But mostly I just want to say that everyone whomever is reading this and also feels the need to inspire the rest of the world as well and want to share some personal information to just know you a little better must feel free to be nominated as well for this award! Just make sure you have fun writing and sharing this with us! 

 

With much love & inspiration written by me,

First of all I want to thank Lotus Laura for nominating me with this amazing award. She is an passionate writer who loves to write about everything. Her creativity comes from many, but expresses it with writing. Whomever is reading this, check her blog out; Lotus Laura

Questions by the lovely Lotus Laura;

  • What is your favorite thing to write with (computer, phone, pen, pencil, typewriter, etc.) and why?

That’s a easy one, Laura. First off all; My handwriting is rubbish, I mean doctors have even better handwritings than I do. So no pen/pencil for me. Secondly, I think to fast, so writing with a computer is my go to. sometimes I cant keep up with myself. (you really should hear me talk. LOL)

  • How do you cheer yourself up on a bad day?

Whenever I am in a bad mood I always try to write. That’s when emotions run the highest for me to really conflict myself with whatever I’m feeling, or a good classic 80’s movies helps as well, and the last thing what could help for me is to work out.

  • What is one question that you never want to be asked?

hmm.. difficult one, Laura. I’m a open book, but I don’t just tell everything up front. You have to ask me the question before I will tell anything. I wouldn’t mind any question as far as I can say. Just ask and I answer.

  • What’s a hobby of yours that no one really knows about?

Does dancing and singing naked while showering count as a hobby? LOL. ahaha no just kidding, Thats not a hobby of my. Its my passion. I Don’t know, Laura. as I said before, I like to share and i’m an open book. I know that not allot of people know that I am a collector. From gaming to comics to LP’s. list goes on.

  • What is the last holiday you celebrated and how did you celebrate it?

Pfff, I think it was new years eve. (thanks to the whole Covid-19) It was with family and friends, just a house party!

  • How do you deal with anxiety?

I first really get to myself. Try not to talk allot, focus my mind on the thing I have to do. So I wont freak out, and eventually when I have to do the thing. whatever it is. I Do it and don’t see it as a hazard anymore. but, the moment before that I really get nervous and scared. I can admit that.

  • Who to you turn to for comfort?

My table, computer, (music) and words. Thats what helps me to comfort myself. To write, to share and to acknowledge.

  • If your life was a book, what would the genre be?

Drama/Comedy/biography.

  • Do you have any “good luck charms” you keep with you?

Yes I do, My half dollar coin of JFK from 1964.

My Questions to my lovely nominees;

  1. What was you first book you have read that you can remember?
  2. who is your favourite author from the last 20 years?
  3. Did you always love to write?
  4. Your opinion about movies based on book adaptions?
  5. Do you listen to music when you write, if yes; what do you listen to?
  6. What about a chicken, a duck and a dog as house pets? should I or should I not do it?

& My lovely nominees are;

To you I want to say; ‘Thank you implied to all,

Yes, You, The one who made it to the end of my post. Thank you so much al for reading my work, for supporting me every day and making sure I am appreciated by you al. You all are amazing and wonderful people. I couldn’t be more thankful than I already am. You, The one that I have nominated.

To my lovely readers,

Yes, this is true ladies and gentleman. My second “offshore reader award”, this time by the lovely J.M Lilin. Before I start thanking this lovely lady for the award I want to say something else to her. I just noticed a couple days ago that I misspelled your name in one of the previous nomination, So I truly want to apologise for that one and I hope you can forgive me for that?

Secondly, I want to thank miss J.M Lilin for this amazing award. the funny thing is I nominated her as well for this award a week ago! Such an amazing supporter, friend and writer all in one combination. She writes with such graze and beauty. Her work is outstanding and always a dear pleasure to read.

J.m lilin
The Unsigned Writer

So feel free to check out her lovely blog, read some of her amazing works and be one of the few lucky one’s who has the privilege to follow her and have a supporter back! J.M lilin Don’t be afraid, just one click away!

Question asked by J.M Lilin;

If you could send an anonymous message out to all the writers just beginning their journey, what would you tell them?

Hmm. This is a great question, Jade. I Think I would say the next thing; there is no good and wrong in writing, there is no excellent and bad in writing, there are no top 10 best authors and poets. There is only one great critic and that’s yourself, and only you can judge your own work. Does it mean that the top 11 to 20 writers are less good as the top 10? no it does not, because we all have a different taste in reading. By making sure you love the work you share, you feel like you can touch anyone soul and mind with it, than you have accomplished the beauty in writing! “one community, one goal. To write and inspire”

My wonderful nominees are:

To my nominees I ask the next question;

What do you love more, to write or to read? you have to pick one!

To my nominees, and the rest of the world, I say;

please take care of yourself. make sure your own happiness is always number one priority. We just have one life to live. by thou means; do whatever you can to make this world a little more beautiful and brighter. We are the beauty in this world! So, let us be the spirit for our future kids!

Ps, LiaThePoet;

‘Offshore Reader Award,

Offshore writings has come up with the different concept of recognising the readers who supports the bloggers every single day by reading their posts.

If your favorite author pops up into life between the pages of his/her book, what would you ask them? (I am a little curious)

First, I would scream… I mean, A author pops out while I’m reading. so yeah. that would be my first respond! And secondly, this is truly an difficult one. Let me think… I would ask Khaled Hosseini (author from “And The Mountain Echoed”/ “The Kite Runner”) what gives him the inspiration to write the stories he does. All of them are based on truthful events, and to me that’s really beautiful!

 

To my nominees I ask;
