"Quill Awards" ![]() The 30 Day Bloggers Challenge prompt for February 1, 2017 is "Check out "The Quill Awards" , and then take a quick look at the list of items nominated so far (the cutoff for noms was 1/31/17, and the list hasn't been completely updated yet) here: "Quills 2016 Nominations" . Pick one of the items nominated for a 2016 Quill, and review it. Post your review in your blog using the Invalid Review ![]() I don't know much about the Quill Awards but from what I can gather it is the WDC equivalent of winning a Pulitzer Prize, which makes it a great honor. I know a couple of people have told me that they threw my name into the hat for a Quill but I don't know if it was seconded for a nomination or not. It would be nice to receive such recognition. I have been a writer for over 45 years, and considered a professional for about 15 of those. I have essential tremors now, which seriously affect my typing so I hack away spending more time correcting mistakes that I do typing. The greatest award I ever received for my writing was when a professional critic for a major newspaper said my poetry at the time "gave me the potential to be the next Robert Frost, Edgar Allen Poe, or one of those guys". I don't know that I'd necessarily go that far but I've seen people melt into tears reading my poetry so it must have impact. ** Image ID #2110777 Unavailable ** |
