A Writer’s Words, an Editor’s Eye Receives the Thinking Blogger Award!
April 26, 2007 by Lillie
Laura Spencer at Writing Thoughts has awarded the Thinking Blogger award to this blog.
Iker Yoldas at The Thinking Blog created the award and describes the award and the rules in Thinking Blogger Awards. The award recognizes blogs that make people think, and those who receive the award then pass the award on to five blogs that make them think.
Laura said:
Lillie’s posts are thorough and comprehensive. When Lillie writes about something, you can be sure that she has studied it thoroughly.
I’m honored to receive the award and appreciate Laura’s words.
One of the reasons I love blogging so much is the opportunity to learn. When I took the Now Discover Your Strengths assessment, I ranked very high as a “learner.” I enjoy learning from other bloggers and appreciate blogs that make me think.
I had to really think about who to select, as I read a number of blogs that stimulate my thoughts. Here are the five I selected:
- Helen Ginger at Straight from Hel. Although Helen’s blog is fairly new, she has been making me think about writing for years through her newsletter. I’m glad she’s joined the blogosphere so I don’t have to wait for her newsletter to benefit from her excellent writing advice.
- Hummie at Hummie’s World. Even though I’m not a scrapbooker, her blog makes me think about and appreciate my blessings. She introduced me to faithbooking, a concept new to me.
- Lisa Vella at Getting It Write for You. Her posts are encouraging, inspiring, and thought-provoking – about writing and about life.
- Manchild at When Least Expected: Inspiration To Brighten Dark Days And Lonely Nights When All Seems Lost. Manchild’s posts make me both think and feel.
- Yuwanda Black at Creative and Editorial Freelancing. When I read the specific tips and bulleted lists of advice for freelancers, I always think about how I can apply these tips to my business.
Thanks again to Laura for recognizing me, and thanks to all the bloggers who make me think.
Updated 6/1/07: Mig at eWritings tagged me with the Thinking Blogger Award. In my new post, I have named five more blogs that make me think.

You’ve got some good picks here, as well as a few that I’m not familiar with. I look forward to discovering some new blogs.
I discovered some new blogs from the ones you selected, so this is a great way to meet new bloggers.
Thank you for choosing my blog, Lillie. You named some really great blogs and I’m enjoying going to visit those. I will try to come up with five great blogs, as well. (I’d chose yours, if I could.)
Thanks, Helen! This is a great way to discover more great blogs.
Congratulations Lillie – well deserved.
Thanks, Yvonne!
Lillie,
Thank you so much for choosing my blog! I am truly honored from such a great lady and blogger! I will also be checking out your other choices.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Lisa Vella
You’re welcome!
I’m looking forward to your choices, Lisa. I’ve been introduced to some new bloggers through this.
Congratulations, Lillian, and I wanted to let you know that I have tagged you for the meme on productivity.
Thanks, Denise.
I will get to the productivity meme after I do the Gotta Get Goals meme!
That is so great to hear. I am glad for you and your site. It shows because you are truly adding some great value for people and the blogging community.
Thank you for the kind words. And thank you for commenting, which introduced me to your blog.
Greetings from the Lone Star State. My name is…Oh well, just call me “Mr Lillie”. I’m really proud of Lillie, my wife of…let’s see now…the math might be a little much for a Texas Aggie…but we were married on the 31st day of May in 1967. How many years is that?…Wheeew. This award is really nice and she’s most proud of it…and I’m mighty proud of her and for her, for this recognition.
Hi Lillie.
I posted my five Thinking Blogs today. Thank you, again, for choosing Straight From Hel as one of your five.
Helen Ginger
Congrats on your award!
“Mr. Lillie,”
My readers can now appreciate the wonderful support and great sense of humor I’ve enjoyed all these years!
Helen,
I read your post and visited the blogs you selected. All are new to me, so thanks for introducing them.
Thanks, Deborah. Your comment introduced me to your blog, and I’ll be back.
Great stuff here, a lot of new blogs to check out.
Seems like a never ending process, but it’s fun!
Thanks again:)
You’re so right! I keep finding new blogs and adding them to my feed…
Hi Lillie.. congratulations on the award!
Thanks, Doris. And thanks again for featuring me in your blog a few months ago.
I’m new in your blog and I like the way you write, you really are a Thinking Blogger
Moxy,

Hello Lillie,
Ooops! I got your reminder this morning. I am so sorry. Can you forgive me for my absentmindedness? No excuses. I blew it. My oversight has been corrected.
It’s always an honor whenever a peer takes the time to recognize another writer’s efforts to provoke thought in a positive manner. Thank you, for choosing me to receive the Thinking Blogger Award.
Respectfully,
Manchild
Manchild,
I thought perhaps the comment got lost, but I understand any of us can overlook something – especially if, like me, you have posts scheduled ahead into the future.
I just wanted to be sure you knew I consider you a Thinking Blogger. Thanks for adding me to your post.
[...] I’ve already named five blogs that make me think. You can see the five blogs I tagged then at A Writer’s Words, an Editor’s Eye receives the Thinking Blogger Award! Now the challenge is to come up with five more – not a challenge because of the paucity of blogs [...]
Thank you very much for this list. My aim is not just to gather knowledge but also meetup new bloggers
Agnideb,
I would suggest that you read newer posts and see some of the blogs listed more currently. The life of blogs is often short, and some of the blogs listed above are no longer active.
