'Why I Write'

I saw a 'Why I Write' meme on Erin's blog, Seven Little Australians & Counting. She tagged everybody, so I thought 'Why not?', and I have proceeded to fill it out!

What am I working on?
I've got a few drafts on the go, I haven't quite found the right words to express what I want to say, yet. So, for now, they're just sitting there, waiting for me to open them up and finish them!

How does my writing differ from others of its genre?
I'm not entirely sure. It's my words, my thoughts, my opinions. I don't see many other blogs delving into the topics that I want to, maybe that's it? I'm not entirely sure.

Why do I write?
I write for a few reasons. One is that, recently, I haven't been writing much at all. I've only done online chats, and Facebook statuses and the like. But, I haven't really 'written' anything in a long time. I thought that starting up my blog again would help me to write more.
Another reason is I think there are multiple problems that I have with the modern world, and I thought I could express them through blogging, while I cannot find the verbal words to express them.
I also think it might be interesting for people to read about a former-homeschooler's life, as she progresses through her tertiary education, and, hopefully, later to university. About a teenager's life as she gets used to a new life. As she learns the ways of living in a populated area, as opposed to a very small country town.
On my art blog, I want to show the world my drawings. I am thinking that, in the future, I will also write up a few tutorials on how I drew while I only had a regular pencil, and a piece of paper.

How does my writing process work?
I write everything down, checking for spelling mistakes as I go. I will usually re-read it, but sometimes I just hit 'publish'. After every post is published, I find I forgot to put the labels on. At this point, I hit 'edit' and put in the labels.
I will usually go back and change a few words around for the longer posts, but ideally I'd like to leave them be after I publish.


I will also tag any and all readers to my blog!



Alas, here is an edit, like I previously stated.  I forgot to request that you let me know in the comments if you complete this meme! Also, feel free to join the link party, as well!

Sararose's Questions:

1. What is one of your favourite things to catch a whiff of?

Freshly baked bread, or freshly baked anything for that matter.. and the smell of new books!

2. What's your favourite colour?

I'm actually not sure.. it seems to vary from day to day. Today, it is blue. I think it's a royal blue? Here's the colour, anyway:

3.What are your hobbies?

My hobbies include: playing clarinet/saxophone/piano, drawing, and reading.

4.What flavour chip is your favourite?

Oh, here's a tricky question.. I'd have to say probably cheese and onion!

5.What is the weirdest sandwich combination you've ever had?

I tried peanut butter, cheese, and tomato sauce once (the tomato sauce was gross, but the peanut butter and cheese wasn't too bad!)

6.What is your favourite drink?

My favourite drink is actually water. Although I also love coffee!

 
7.What is your favourite song at the moment?

My favourite song? I always have a few.. I like Crazy by Simple Plan, House of Cards by Human Nature, Go The Distance from Hercules, The Middle by Jimmy Eat World..
Also:
Doumka's Freilach by Alexis Ciesla - it's been a favourite since I played it at the eisteddfod last year!

8.What is your favourite store?

Another tricky one, as I don't go shopping all that often. I love op-shops in general. But BigW is the store where I buy the most new things, because I know that I can walk in and grab some jeans that fit me (it's hard to find pants/jeans that fit a tall, thin girl!)
