"Confessions of a Blogger"

I was going to take the rest of this week off of blogging, but when Tammy Jo tagged me to fill out the "Confessions of a Blogger" I didn't want to wait to spill my bloggy guts!

"Confessions of a Blogger"

1. When did you first start blogging and why?

I started blogging back in July of this year after reading a few bloggers that I found via Pinterest. I really just wanted a creative outlet and thought why not? Maybe someone will be interested in the same things as me. 

2. Have you had any past online presence?

I mean I was cool back in the day and had an Xanga (Throwback!), but other then that I am a newbie!

3. When did you become serious about your blog?
Pretty much immediately. If anything I have chilled out since then. I just blog whatever these days rather then have a plan for my entire week.

4. What was your first blog post?
It was called Blogger?and basically just introduced myself to the blogging world.

5. What have been your biggest challenges blogging?
Feeling guilty when I either don't write for awhile or when I don't have anything interesting to write about. 

6. What is the most rewarding thing about blogging?

Meeting new people. I have been blessed with meeting so many people through blogging. I feel like more of an interesting person just knowing some of the bloggers that I do. Reading their bloggers everyday keeps me so motivated.

7. What is the most discouraging thing about blogging?
How hard it is to spread the word of your blog. I would like to think I don't care if people read my blog, but I love those who always check my blog not just stop by one time.

8. What is your lasting inspiration or motivation?
Other bloggers. So many times a day I read blogs and it triggers some sort of idea for my own blog.

9. What is your blogging dirty little secret?
I planned my entire Christmas Week like 3 months ahead of time, because I was so excited!

10. What is your current goal as a blogger?

Well since I have been slowly becoming an inconsistent blogger I want to start regularly blogging. I am also going to work on the look of my blog. (anyone want to make me a button? haha)

11. Have you learned or become passionate about anything through blogging that caught you by surprise? 

I wouldn't say passionate, but I noticed that a lot of things on my Christmas list this year are things I found through other blogs. 

I am going to spread the love and whoever wishes to do this tag can participate! Just tag me back so I can check out your answers! Thanks ladies, have fun with it!
