The One Lovely Blog Rules of Acceptance

Renee Rose: Closet Girl

- Thank the person/people who nominated you and link back to them in your post.
- Share seven possibly unknown things about yourself.
- Nominate fifteen or so bloggers you admire.
- Contact the chosen bloggers to let them know and link back to them.

Thank you Renee! You are an amazing writer who opened my eyes to spanking fiction. I really had NO idea that this existed. I mean I’ve thought about it for years but honest to post it…out there? LOL You are also extremely supportive and I am thrilled beyond belief to have met you! (Virtually of course in blog land)

Seven things about me that you didn’t know!

1.    I am currently involved in writing two novels…possibly three…four. Crap. I forgot that one of my novellas is technically boiling over into novel territory. I wasn’t made a writer, I was born one.

2.    I currently am trying to find more freelance jobs. It’s difficult because people want to pay you a few cents to write 500 word articles.  At least for the moment I’m living to write and not writing to live…

3.    I have two kids. They are of the opposite sex. They are polar opposites and identical twins at the same time. They are two years apart in age. They are going to gang up on me as soon as they become teenagers. I predict this and yet I still adore them. I could literally talk about them for the rest of the numbers….they are dramatic and crazy like me! (And stubborn like MDK but don’t tell him that)

4.    I work full time outside of the house and as thankful as I am to have a job I would give just about anything to stay at home and work.

5.    I hate driving so much that I sometimes get anxiety attacks if I have to change my route. I would rather drive back and forth the same one mile radius for hours rather than drive anywhere at night ever. (Though this is only within the past few years)

6.    I am afraid of the dark and I hate scary movies but vampires and witches are a-ok.

7.    I really need to exercise and be more physically active. My said job is at a desk and I refuse, REFUSE to get ‘the spread’. Though maybe it can be paddled back into shape! (joking, joking)

Bratty Addy: The brat in the computer

Who is Bratty Adaline?

 I am. I am older than twenty-one and less than forty. I have children. I work full time and freelance on the side. I am currently working on several novels. I am also a horrible procrastinator. I push everything off until it can longer be ignored. I push away friends and family sometimes just because I crave being alone. I have found that those moments are the ones I am in most need of support. I self sabotage all the time. I never complete anything that I set my mind to. Ever. I'm impressed enough that I started this blog. 

 Why on earth would you title yourself something that means:

1a : child; specifically : an ill-mannered annoying child <a spoiled brat> b : an ill-mannered immature person?

This is how I feel most of the time. I will start out by saying that I was severely abused when I was a child until I was brought to live with relatives. Once there I became very spoiled. No, I did not have everything that I wanted. We didn't have a ton of money or the latest gadgets but they tried to coddle me as a way to forget the abuse.
