Christoper and Tia (contributor to
The Mama Dramalogues). I was first tipped off about The Mama Dramalogues by my
mom. :) And I have been enjoying reading Tia's blog as well.
So I have been tagged to answer the following questions about writing! I assume this can be about blogging or any writing!
What word do you use too much in your writing?Cute, nice, also, especially
Which words do you consider overused in stuff you read?Hmmm, well on blogs..."quite" "lovely"(well I use that one a lot too!). In media "viral" or "it's gone viral" seems to be the new overused thing.
What's your favourite piece of writing (written by you)?Hmm I think it would be one of my papers I wrote in college. This is nerdy, but one favorite was a paper about plastic surgery and consumerism. (for a "consumer culture" class, I graduated with a Sociology degree so, haha).
Regrets, do you have a few? Is there anything you wish you hadn't written?Not really. On my
other blog in the past maybe I would rant too much sometimes. Nothing was mean, but it would be passionate about something I was thinking. That could be a good thing, but I just don't like ranting all the time.
How has your writing made a difference?For me, it has given me an outlet and also a good time passer. I enjoy writing this blog especially as I needed a hobby like this at this time in my life.
Favourite wordscornucopia(hah I never use it though), gobbledygook, as well
Least favourite wordsSwear words (keeping Tia's answer!). And sorry if anyone loves or should I say luvz it, I mean no offense, but LOLcat gets on my nerves! :D I don't want to see "haz" used in
every sentence. I like a little silly talk too, but not ALL the time!
Do you have a writing mentor, role model or inspiration?In the paper writing sense, C.S. Lewis. I love his work. I have loved it a long time and both his theological writings and his fiction are my favorites. He really makes me think, imagine and feel inspired. He digs very deep.
Writing Ambition?I don't have lots of it, but I did start a children's fiction book before I was pregnant. That was over two years ago! I still have most of the story in my head but need to write it down and that may take years! But I am going to do it, even if only my family reads it.
tagging time!!Melanie,
Angela,
Audrey, and
Evelyn you're all tagged!
We decided to head to a small local beach Friday evening to see sunset and we knew Kavi would have a blast. His favorite part was chasing seagulls and making noises at them. The sky was mostly cloudy so we didn't get to see the sunset but it was still a very nice and relaxing time. We want to do it more often! We wanted the weather to just get less hot outside. I'm not a beach person really. I used to be when I was young, but now if I swim I'd rather be in a pool. Although the wonderful breeze at a beach can't be replaced! So soothing. (by the way, I am one of those people who is hardly ever happy with a picture of myself, and I felt like my eyes were really puffy Friday night)
