Thank you so much, Dearest Rob, for nominating me for this award! I have received it before, so as thanks, I am reblogging it!
But, I do like answering questions… so here are my answers!
Why do you blog?
I blog because I enjoy writing, and it fuels my creativity to read what others write too.
What most frustrates you about blogging?
Nothing as such, but I just wish I had more time!
What do you enjoy most about blogging?
I LOVE the interaction with others, and the connections with people across this world of ours.
How do you define success?
In my eyes, success is being satisfied with what you have, fulfilling your goals and feeling at peace.
What is the one thing you most want from your followers?
My followers are wonderful. I couldn’t ask for more from them! But if they want to give more, I always welcome comments!
What is the one thing you most want to give the people you follow.
Support for their writing 🙂 We all have an opinion, and a certain style, and they should all be applauded!
How do you define the difference between positive and negative criticism?
Criticism is all good, as long as you label it constructive!
How do you deal with moments when a blogger you like posts something you don’t like?
If need be, I’ll scroll on. They are entitled to post whatever they want.
Is your blog a journal, a literary experiment, performance art or none of that?
A total mish-mash of all of the above, kind of like me!
What is success as a blogger?
To me, it’s gone beyond figures and stats, which initially it was all about. Success for me, is to get positive feedback on my posts, seeing posts appreciated and shared, and if I am able to help even one person with a post, I’ll be happy!
By your definition, do you consider yourself successful?
I feel that I am successful in my blogging journey. Despite a blogging hiatus, I have still maintained my followers, and notifications have been acted upon. Getting a welcome back from my readers shows, to me, that I was missed, and appreciated!

It’s been rather bittersweet… I had to rush to my Pops who has been unwell, and he needed emergency surgery. Thank goodness he is stable now…

He is a lot better than before Thank Goodness, but still in hospital. It’ll be a long recovery, but he is aware of it. 🙂
