Blog questions challenge
Tagged by: Jedda
Tagging: anyone who would love to play along! (I really need to follow more Bearbloggers on Mastodon!)
Ava came up with some great questions on Bearblog and when Jedda tagged me, I had to jump in 😃
- Why did you make the blog in the first place?
I have blogged for years, using most blogging by platforms under the sun. I fell out of the blogging habit a while ago, and really wanted to write again. I knew I wanted to blog somewhere I could keep a blog without much fuss. I tried several places but fell in love with Bearblog's ease of use and stuck around. - Why did you choose Bearblog?
Ease of use and the ability to keep multiple blogs was appealing too! - Have you blogged on other platforms before?
So, so many. I've been blogging since the early 2000's and I tried them all. Bearblog feels just right. - Do you write your posts directly in the editor or in another software?
Funnily enough, I write my posts in Bear! It's such a great app for writing. - When do you feel most inspired to write?
Whenever I can get my mind to shut up long enough to let ideas pass through. - Do you publish immediately after writing or do you let it simmer a bit as a draft?
I usually let it simmer. That is mostly because my first draft is always stream of consciousness writing, throwing words on a page. Then a while after, either within a few hours or the next day, I edit and post. I always keep the spontaneity in the post, just edit out miss-spellings or weirdly constructed lines. - Your favorite post on your blog
I had a hard time choosing as I love some posts. The one I keep coming back to myself is the one I wrote about keeping a journal - Any future plans for your blog? Maybe a redesign, changing the tag system, etc.?
None! I just love the blog as it is.
Thanks for the fun questions, Ava! And thanks for tagging me, Jedda.
