An idea

This has been on my mind for a while (and by a while I meant months) and I wasn't sure if anyone will accept it. You're probably thinking what the idea might be and waiting for me to spit it out already. Well, here's the idea.

An award. 

You know the typical blog award that bloggers will receive in their blogging life. They're fun to have and hopefully easy enough to do if they involve questions. Plus they're pretty cool in my opinion. And I wanted to invent a new blogging award that will hopefully stay around forever like the versatile blog award and the liebster blog award.

So if I bring out this award will people actually like them and be happy to receive them? And if so what should this new blog award be called? Please comment below if you know any good names but please make sure that the names aren't in use with another blog award.








And if you replied yes then should there be a little meme thing with the award, like questions or random facts, or other.

Morceau

(source dictionary.com it's also the word of the day)

1.  short composition: a short musical or literary composition  
2.  small piece: a tiny piece, e.g. a small mouthful of food

(According to the dictionary on my computer) 

Examples would be: Feed the dog with a morceau of pie or prepare to hear the begging noises all night long. 
Or Not unless you are able to provide me with a little morceau of help.
-- Amitav Ghosh, Sea of Poppies
(First example I just made up second example would come from here.)

So by now you must be wondering why I taught you a new word. And it's because I want you to expand your vocabulary. And maybe get a kick out of it because if you say it enough it starts to sound like the two words more soul. Just like I am right now... kind of. Also quick question does A Sea of *Morceaux sound better or does A Sea of [random?] Pieces, or A Sea of [random?] Words?
A poll will be over there on the side of my blog if you are willing to answer.
And if you are wondering why I am asking that is simply because I decided to make my random collection of poetry and short stories/flash fiction/excerpts into a book from createspace (because I won nanowrimo.) So in order to do that, I need a title, then once I have the title I can make the cover and all that other stuff. 
So please help me with finding a good title. 
*Morceaux is the plural form of morceau.
