I have received this award before, but, as good fiction writers will do, Mari added new rules, giving us a chance to exercise our fiction writing muscles (or tell the truth about our weird past), thus creating the Creepy Version<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n “Creative Writer” Blogger Award Rules:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Thank the person who gave this to you.<\/p>\n 2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.<\/p>\n 3. Link to the person who nominated you.<\/p>\n 4.
