I’m sure at this point you all know how I feel about blogland. I swear sometimes you guys are the only people in my corner always rooting me on! So when Kat from Lemonade Linings asked if I’d like to participate in the Tour of Blogland, it was an easy yes!
WHAT AM I WORKING ON?
Currently, I’m working on getting my youtube channel back up and going. I plan to have a few posts a week that partner with my channel! I’m so excited about it all, but I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I was a little nervous, too.
HOW DOES MY WORK DIFFER FROM OTHERS IN ITS GENRE?
I’m kind of all over the place, so I’m not sure if my blog has an actual genre. It kind of hops around in the lifestyle department, occasionally it masquerades as a beauty blog, and sometimes it’s just me rambling on. I’d like to think that I myself am what sets it apart from others. I keep things pretty positive, but I also don’t hesitate to tell it like it is. My lifestyle and marriage are quite different than most simply because of the whole football thing, so I guess that sort of sets it apart too.
WHY DO I WRITE/CREATE WHAT I DO?
What some of you might not know is I’ve actually had this blog for about five years. I didn’t get into the “blog world” part of things until very recently. Because I’m a writer, and I went to school for writing, it was ingrained into my head to practice writing every single day. This blog, for me, is a fun way to do that! I write what strikes me as fun or important.
HOW DOES MY WRITING/CREATING PROCESS WORK?
I like to think that I have a good balance of planned and spur of the moment. My best writing happens when something strikes a chord with me and I just set off running. But if I always waited for inspiration to strike, there would be a lot of blank space. So I tend take Sunday to loosely plot out my week. That gives me some time to allow inspiration to strike as the week goes on, but it also ensures that I don’t go weeks without writing anything at all.
Youtube channel sounds fun! I have been bad lately about planning out my weeks for my blog. I find myself hopping on and staring at a blank screen a lot lately. I need to get my life together! haha!
What nice intros to other bloggers!
You have a YouTube?! Eeeek. I'm a little obsessed with watching YouTube videos, I won't lie. How fun!
Yes, I agree that I think it's you yourself that sets your blog apart. I've loved your blog ever since you somehow found mine a couple months ago and took the time to comment and point out the (many) things we have in common! And you've been one of my most favoritists ever since! 😉
Aww loves those girls too!! I had no idea you blogged for 5 years – that's awesome!
