Creative Writing

Last Friday, I was doubly honored by a fine pair bloggers for the exact same award: Lesa Holstine and Kaye Barley. I can assure you that things don't get much better than that, and I'm pretty humbled by it all. [wife: "You're kidding, right?"] Plus, the fact that I'm among the select few getting an inaugural Creative Writer Blogger Award, at that, makes it special threefold in my eyes. My thanks to the both of you, ladies. Here are the rules for this prize:

1. Thank the person who gave this to you. [√]
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog. [√]
3. Link to the person who nominated you. [√]
4. Tell us up to six outrageous lies about yourself, and at least one outrageous truth. [:O]
5. Allow your readers to guess which one or more are true.
6. Nominate seven "Creative Writers" who might have fun coming up with outrageous lies.
7. Post links to the seven blogs you nominate.
8. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know you nominated them.

First, here's my list of worthy bloggers (and some of them appreciate the greatness of L.A. Requiem, too) that I wish to pass this fine award on to:

• Christine of The Christine Zine
  
• Gay of Words in Place
  
• Jeff of Stuff Running 'Round My Head
  
• Poncho of Elogios
  
• Sarah of The Fox and the Hounds
  
• Elyse of Pop Culture Nerd
  
• Seaspray of It's a Wonderful Life!
  

Now, let's mention a few things about myself:

1. I once competed in the L.A. City high school gymnastic championship
   
2. I almost ran over actor Kurt Russell's toes with a wheelchair
   
3. I'm related to a former L.A. City councilman
   
4. I married one of a set of triplets
   
5. I read a script that was eventually produced as a independent film
   
6. I once chauffeured singer Tina Turner to an awards show
   
7. I once met author Tom Clancy when he autographed my copy of The Hunt for Red October

Time to find the
lie
er... the truth, my friends.
