Taken from Emer’s post:

The Origins of the Real Neat Blog Award

Before I answer the questions I did a little googling to try and find the origins of this award and the earliest reference I can find to it goes all the way back to 2014 and to a blog called Dear Kitty, Some Blog.

The award came about as a way to highlight bloggers that need more attention because of their awesome content on their blogs and the first logo ever created for the award is this one that I found on the same Dear Kitty, Some Blog page:

The Rules:

• Display the Award Logo.
• Thank the blogger who nominated you and post a link to their blog.
• Answer the questions of the one who nominated you.
• Nominate some bloggers.
• Ask them seven questions.

Nen & Jen’s Questions:

What name have you always wanted to have, other than your own?
I’ve always connected strongly to the names Meredith and Natasha.

What is your favourite type of character?
I would have to say a strong sassy type character. I love the character Aphrodite in House Of Night. She can be a pain in the ass, but she’s honest and she’s loyal.

What holiday do you look forward to the most, every year?
Halloween. It’s my favorite holiday of the year. With all the real horrors we face every day, it’s nice to have something to pretend to be scared over instead.

What type of blog post do you enjoy writing the most?
I love writing book reviews the most. It helps me reflect on how I really feel about the book. It’s also nice to have to go back and read about the book.

If you could only read one book for the rest of your life, which would it be?
Oh this is a tough question! I guess I’d have to say Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Byrnes

If you could interview any author, who would you choose?
I’d have to say Janet Evanovich. I have so many questions about her writing and her life. I especially have many questions about her Plum series!

The cutest animal in the world is….
Dolphins!

This week and last have been really rough for me. I’ve had a lot of stress in my personal life. I haven’t really felt motivated or inspired at all. All I’ve wanted to do is lay down and give up. Luckily, I have people who care about me in my life. That helps. Even when they don’t know something is wrong. Just thinking about them helps.

I will get back in gear starting Monday. I have been doing nothing but reading. Which has been amazing, but I know I need to get back into productivity. Depression and trying to adjust to a new schedule have been intense to say the least.

I posted a random thing I found on Facebook. My birthday is in August and I’ve been putting some serious thought into doing this. I mean I’ll make an exception for my blog posts, but other than that, I’ll be off social media.

Thank you all in advance for being so very understanding. I know that it would be easier to schedule posts, but I don’t really do well with scheduling posts. I always forget to go in and share. I wish there was a way you can just automatically post it to your social media when it posts. But honestly, in this case, there was no material to schedule. I do have some poems I can post for the rest of the week if anybody wants me to. I’ll also post my reviews like I always do.
