For which I am, well, very appreciative. Honestly, it's always such a pleasant surprise when I get one of these.
In order to accept the award, I must:
1. Thank the person who nominated me by linking his/her blog: Thank you, Jean!
2. Answer the four questions below.
3. Award the Blogger Appreciation Award to fellow bloggers.
4. Let those bloggers know that you have nominated them.
Questions:
- How long have you been blogging?
Almost a year and a half now. I started in January 2011 after about six months of hemming and hawing.
- Why did you start blogging?
For a couple reasons, actually. One, because it’s hard for me to visualize how a trend would look on my shape when I see it on a dissimilar shape. It’s like shoes. They look so cute in a size 5 ½, but bring them out in my size 10 and Borrowers run out from under the Nordstrom couches to try and appropriate them as boats. I figured if I had these problems, other giants tall women might feel the same.
Two, because I’ve always sort of thought I’d like to be a writer. But, I know it’s like anything else in that you have to practice. I wasn’t doing a very good job of keeping a journal and thought blogging would be a good way to practice writing, see if I actually liked it and see what my “voice” sounded like.
- What type of blogs do you like to follow/read?
Mostly, but not exclusively, personal style blogs. I don’t really read “fashion” blogs because while I try to stay aware of the trends, I don’t consider myself a particularly trendy person and I don’t try to be.
- What is the one thing you’d like to improve on as a blogger?
My writing. I think I probably write too much. But, I talk too much too, so I think that may just be me. Still, I’d like to be more succinct at times. Just at times though; basically nattering on about nothing is sort of my thing.
