Blog Crusade Challenge

As part of the Blog Crusade (see the pretty shield in the sidebar) all participants have been asked to tell our readers somewhat more about ourselves than we generally are inclined to do. I will resist the urge to bloviate endlessly about my "fascinating" life -- if only to keep you patient souls from driving a blade through your computer screen.

You may suspect that the natural beauty of the Northwest is something I appreciate at every opportunity, and you'd be right. I feel very fortunate to live in a part of the country where I can walk out my back door on a nice morning (after my morning coffee has done its job and pried my eyes open) and see a fuliguline view of snow covered mountains. There's an eagle's nest not far from my home, too, and I frequently see one or more of the majestic birds soaring above my home. It's a good thing our rabbit lives indoors -- I'd hate for her to become eagle-breakfast. I'm not that willing to sacrifice for the wild things.

Speaking of breakfast, here's something only my family knows: I love Cheerios. I have them almost every morning along with my coffee. I'm not sure if that's indicative of how dependable I am, or if it speaks to what some would consider annoying predictability. I guess it depends on who you are and how much you value culinary adventurousness!

And now, patient readers, I must confess I may have revealed something about myself that isn't strictly true. Can you guess what it is? I'll let you know in my next post!

  2. To have an eagle as your neighbour... that's lucky!

  3. Hello fellow crusader! I am a tad bit late, the whole house has been sick all week. So, I just thought I would pop in and just say Hi! :D

  4. I think I've already revealed more than I should....

    I have eagles hanging around during the winter--they spend the winter months here on the Mississippi. We also have hawks. The smaller birds are very unhappy.

  5. My guess is you don't eat Cheerios that often.

    Nice to learn more about you, Fellow Crusader!

  6. Hello Crusader! I will guess that you don't have a rabbit- perhaps a cat but the rabbit is drummed to meet the criterion for the challenge criterion? I don't know!!!

  7. Hm... I'm leaning toward one of the two more popular answers up here.

  8. Hi Susan,

    I'd love a home which overlooked snow covered mountains! We don't get much snow in Australia.

    In March I'm running a collective writing experiment which you might enjoy:

  9. What excellent guess, everyone! I'm biting back the urge to comment on them -- and this is so hard for me, because I'm such a blabber-mouth! So... no hints, right or wrong :)

    Come back on Monday, and I'll reveal the unvarnished truth about my post :)

  10. Great post! Very hard to pick out the fib. I'm jealous of your description of your view, but I have to admit I'm a city girl at heart. I'm going to guess that you don't have a pet rabbit, but it's really a stab in the dark.

  11. Very difficult to determine the lie woven in so seamlessly. I am going to guess there is no rabbit. It sounds like a beautiful place to live and to write. I can't wait to get to know your writing better.

  12. Thank you, ladies! Such compliments! I do live in a beautiful part of the country! The lie will be revealed on Monday -- stop back by to find out...does she really have a pet rabbit??

  13. Hi Susan,

    Can't figure out what you lie is. Good to meet another fellow crusader. Wishing you success with the book you're now marketing.

  14. Thanks, J.L.! The lie shall be revealed on Monday! I'm dying to drop a hint, but... nah. Not going to do it! :)
