Tour Through Blogland/Tributes to Writers Tag

I was tagged in the Tour Through Blogland tag. I was tagged by my lovely blog friend Katrina. If you are tagged answer the questions I answered. 

What am I working on?
I've been working on so many blog designs. Currently I have 12 or so to do. Even though I know that most people would find that hectic, I really enjoy helping people out with their designs. I've also been working on my design shop. Since my designs will no longer be free I must figure out a way to let people pay for them. I've been looking all over for a way to make a little shop on my site but it's harder than it seems. I've also been taking pics of my little sis which I will post right after this. :)

How does my work differ from others from its genre?
I think my blog has a lot of options for people. I share do-it-yourself projects, recipes, photography, and blog design tips. Sometimes I show a glimpse of my life and share my writing pieces. I'm not one of those people who pretends to be perfect so I try to tell my readers about the good and not so good days in my life.

Why do I write/create what I do?
I write and create what I do because I simply love to do it. I love sharing easy diy ideas, and bits and pieces of my life. I'm so glad I'm apart of this blogger community where I know I have so many internet friends that got my back. It's great to know that i have so many friends from all over the world. I wish that someday, all the teen Christian bloggers could meet. Now that would be epic!

How does your writing/creating process work?
Well first of all, I try to think of something original for a post. I don't want to copy what other bloggers have done. I rather think up my own unique idea. If I ever have writers block I simply do a life update or maybe share a poem.

You're supposed to nominate three bloggers, so here I go.:)

I nominate:

Sarah Grace- Her blog is full of lovely photography and writing pieces. It's always a joy to see a new post from her. :)

Bethan-Her blog is just so awesome. She loves to read (like me), and she has such a beautiful writing style.

Danielle-Her blog is amazing. :)  I love her post and her giveaways! I'm in awe of her amazing photography!

Questions:

1. What is your favorite type of writing?
I really love poetry. To me, they're so beautiful. I like how everyone seems to find a different meaning of what a poem means.

2. When did you start writing?
I've always loved to write. When I was around 10 I started writing songs about Jesus's love and nature. Then I started writing poems. I never really thought I had a talent for writing until I entered my poem in 4-H and won grand champion. Not that I think I'm a great writer now but I just never knew people would even like what I wrote.

3. Your favorite author?
Oh goodness! Hmmm... Let's see.
Lois Lowry.


4. Have you ever finished a novel?
I've started many novels about futuristic alternate societies, but I've never finished them. Maybe I could share them with you all sometime if you like. I am currently writing a short story for school. It's going to be based in World War II and I've thought of a really cool storyline to go along with it.


5. On a scale of one to ten what would you rate writing?
10!!!


Why I like writing:
I like writing because I can express my thoughts, hopes, and even fears in ways speaking can not. I think writing is a way for people like me, to show who they are and who they hope to become.

A piece of my writing:
Why Rush

To tell you the truth,

I'm not in a rush to grow up.

Some girls

are in such a hurry to

to be independent

and go out in the world alone.

But as for me...

I'm not in a rush.

I want to savor each moment of my childhood

and my teen hood.

I'm not the kind of girl who is anticipating her future,

or living in her past.

I just want to be me.

Right here.

Right now.

Because I can't go back in time,

or speed up the clock.

I want to just live,

and be thankful for every moment.

I have my whole life ahead of me.

Why rush?
