YOU are Appreciated! - a Blogger/Author Love Project

with 31 comments

It's Monday and there's no review, I know! I'm all about being spontaneous and seeing the tension from last night, my brain is working at it's 5% to bring you this project. See gif above.

Yes, there might be technical problems and little roadblocks but I am doing the best I can with the time that I have. Basically, all you need to know is that this is a project that involves making all of us feel appreciated because above all else, I feel as though no matter the popularity authors, bloggers and even humans just want to be heard and acknowledged so this project is meant to acknowledge your beautiful hair or your bubbly personality or how you're a social justice activist [those people are so cool, though.]

Explanation

I remember, a while ago, that someone did this thing where they would pull a name out of a hat and that person would get a compliment or a really nice note. This would happen every day until the names were gone or the names were just put back and the entire cycle would start over.

So, wouldn't it be cool if we did that as a community? I would be the Hermes [messenger] and it would be you guys writing the really nice messages and sending them to me [via google form] to send out to the person's email. I'll definitely add whenever I can [and since I'm such a ball of sunshine I'll definitely be adding a LOT.] I don't know if we'd be able to do a full 365 days but I'm willing to do this as long as I've got your support/messages.

How?

This is a two step process. Still with me? Amazing.

First, below is a linky where you can add your name and your blog [ex. Nova @ Out of Time] saying that you will be sending a nice message to someone and that you're participating in spreading love.
This is so I can keep track of the people and it'll help in Step Two.




Step twooooooo! Below is a form that you can fill in as many times as you want. I actually encourage multiple messages because most likely, you love more than one author/blogger. Basically, if there are a BUNCH of people you want to write messages to and you've got time - go ahead! It doesn't have to be an essay long, it can literally be the length of a tweet or a short paragraph. It all depends on you.
 Also, it goes without saying, but the message will only be seen by the person and me. I would never show it to anyone it isn't addressed to.

Now here's where the linky thing comes in handy. It's always nice to praise big bloggers but the people in the linky [who are being so kind already] deserve love too. Please consider writing something nice about them! As a smaller blogger, I know how it feels to be left out in a love fest and I don't want that happening to anyone else! <3




So that's it! I hope it sounds simple enough. My mind cannot stop creating ideas like this and if it's complicated and you're confused, please ask any questions below! I'll start sending stuff out as soon as I start getting some feedback. And even if I don't, I'll probably end up sending some nice emails myself (:

    This is such an amazing idea! I agree that the blogging community needs more love, especially with all the recent drama (or not-so-recent... half a year is gone already O_O). Definitely going to participate. xx

    Please excuse me while I post this amazing idea on all of social media accounts possible.
    I LOVE this idea! A lot of people have been complaining about the negative atmosphere in the book blogging community and this is just the thing to make it right again.
    I cannot wait to start writing messages!

    This is a brilliant idea, Nova! I actually have a post scheduled for a new feature I'm starting that's kind of similar to this in that it involves writing letters to other bloggers, but it's pretty different. So...that's a coincidence. :P Anyways, I'm excited to drop by and maybe send a few notes to other bloggers, because they all deserve it.

    Awwwww <333 This is so lovely. So wait. This is an ongoing thing? And I can come here when I feel crappy and leave little nice notes for people I heart and automatically feel better at the thought of giving someone a smile?
