Ideal Inspiration Blogger Award

I’ve been nominated for the Ideal Inspiration Blogger Award by Bacardi Gold.

The award includes five questions, which I’ll answer here.

1. Is it important to be inspired when you write an article ? Why? and Why not?
2. Why do you think you deserve to be nominated for this award?
3. Do you need music to be on the background when you write? If so, what type of music do you listen to?
4. Is it proper to nominate a friend-on-line for this award? Give a reason.
5. Are you happy to be on the list of nominees? Why?

1. 1. The majority of my blog is poetry, and all of it is inspired in some way. Most often, that poetry is my response to something I’ve known or experienced, or a response to something in the news. I’ll have frequent dry spells, so I often reply to prompts from other bloggers. I’m also inspired by the poetry of other bloggers.
   2. I shy away from rewards, so I’m not the best one to answer that.
   3. I need quiet. Music can be too much of a distraction for me. Anything with lyrics definitely is a distraction. So, if I listen at all when I’m writing, it’s instrumental jazz.
   4. I don’t always respond to blog awards, and, when I do I don’t usually forward them. I guess you could say this is a “reward-free blog.” I just haven’t posted any kind of badge.
   5. It’s nice to know that I’ve inspired another blogger. That’s reward enough.

There are “Rules” for the award that include adding nominations with new questions, but as I indicated above, I won’t be forwarding this. I do appreciate the recognition I’ve received from Bacardi Gold, so, thank you.

I’m headed out to go kayaking. Hopefully, that will provide inspiration to write.
