I really appreciate her kind words about my blog. I've always been concerned about my lack of focus. I've considered trying to separate my blog out into various topics such as literature and writing, education or health but it would just be too time-intensive, considering all the other things I have going on in my life right now.
So from now on I will think of myself as a "versatile" blogger. It gives me a sense of freedom. I'm a woman with a lot on my mind and my blog gives me a place to share it. The first rule of the Versatile Blogger award is to thank the person who gave it to you. Please go and take a ramble with Ms. Cat ... she's a fantastically entertaining blogger.
The second rule is to post seven random things about yourself. It's difficult for me to dredge up seven things I haven't already shared about myself in this blog, but here goes:
1. I was born in the "new town" of Glenrothes in Fife Scotland. I have big plans to blog all about it and the link between sculpture and creativity in childhood.
2. I dislike team sports but I love watching gymnastics and competitive ice-skating.
3. I love trashy pop music. My current favorite is "We R Who We R" by Kesha". It makes me dance like a wild woman.
4. I'm obsessed with buying blank journals. Even if I have ten in the house I'll still buy another.
5. I'm very vain about wearing my glasses in public. If I see you at the store and I'm wearing my glasses, I will be tempted to hide from you.
6. Before I wanted to be a writer it was my childhood dream to become an actress. I'm a bit of a ham, really.
7. I've picked out a pretty girl's name for my second child but I'm not sure I want another!
The last part of accepting the award is to pay it forward to five bloggers who you think are deserving of such an honor. I plan to unveil my selection very soon!
I'm happy to have positive feedback on my blog. I've now moved my platform back to its original home at Blogspot, where I can widgetize and monetize to my heart's content for free. In my next blog I'm planning to write about the connection between versatility and crowded teeth ... there really is a link but that's a post for another time ... to be continued!
I don't know if our second child (son) is going to appreciate a girls name ;)
ReplyDeleteI thought I would jot down a random thing about myself...
I have a constant inner monologue, I hear it's actually a terrible thing, it means I cant just shut off my brain. And now it's developed a Scottish accent.
