Morning is holding a blog party at the moment! I'm so glad to be able to join in.
Rules:
+ Post about the blog party on your blog with the button image above included.
+ Answer these ten questions:
1. What do you love about the fall season?
I love how everything gets colder, snuggling up, the smell of everything, can I just say, everything?
2. If you walked in a mall and saw a guacamole chip hat, would you wear one or eat it?
OK, I must say I would probably do both. Eat it while wearing it:) (Gru, much?)
3. What is one of the most frustrating or aggravating things in the blogging world?
When people comment on your blog just to ask to follow them and comment on their blog and don't say anything, they don't even comment again. I don't mind people leaving their links, but when they say nothing else, urgh! This is worse when the people don't even write on their blogs.
4. Would you rather build a snowman or sing in the rain? (See what I did there?)
Hahaha, build a snowman. It doesn't snow in Australia and where I live it always seems to be raining. I have sung in the rain so many times:)
5. If you had to chose how you were a part of a theater or movie production, would you be: an actor, props designer, set designer, light/technical director, audio coordinator, costume director, music director, dance coordinator, stage manager, or a part of the audience?
Costume director!
6. List your blogging inspirations (blogs and people).
1. What is real beauty to you?
2. How did you first learn about blogging?
3. Who is the biggest inspiration to you?
4. What's your favourite movie?
5. How would you describe yourself?
6. What want people think about you?
7. Which blogger is your best (blogging) friend?
8. Have you ever had a pen pal?
9. What is the best kind of weekend to you?
10. If you could meet any musician, who would it be? (I bet I know your answer Lizzie:))
11. What's the best thing that anyone has ever done for you?
I hope you enjoyed that. No one feel pressured to do this.
Also, please watch this video. It really shows what real love is to me!
A while ago I talked about starting a YouTube channel, and (FINALLY) I have done so.
It's really basic at the moment with not much around. I have uploaded my first video however and I'm very pleased with that.
I'm not very brave at the moment though. I won't be doing any talking ones or ones with me in them because I feel very awkward, but I hope that the video I have made it clear enough!!!
I'm super excited about a good friend of mine coming to visit, so this is just how I'm feeling. Also, with the help of my friend, Imogen, I have created a facebook page for this blog. Please pop over and like it!
Today I'm feeling a bit lazy, so I'm going to post a tag that Lizzie from Castle in the Air tagged me for.
The Rules:
1. Copy and paste the questions below and then answer and turn them into a blog post. Or, record a video answering these questions and upload it to your blog post.
2. At the bottom of your post, tag anywhere from 2-10 bloggers you want to see answer these questions. (I also suggest hitting up your tagged people via social media just to let them know you tagged them to do this tag challenge.)
3. Use the title: 20 Things You Might Not Know About Me Blog Tag. Once you’ve hit publish, leave a comment below with the link to your post.
4. Use the hashtag #20ThingsBlogTag when sharing on social media so we can all find your awesome posts!
Now for the questions:
Question 1: How tall are you?
Well this is rather embarrassing, but I have no idea! I'm not tall though. Question 2: Do you have a hidden talent? If so, what?
Um, maybe music. I also like photography! Question 3: What’s your biggest blog-related pet peeve?
Please don't take offence, but blogs have custom cursors. Question 4: What’s your biggest non-blog related pet peeve?
When someone constantly talks over you. Question 5: What’s your favourite song?
At the moment:
Will probably change when I find another one with such a good message. Question 6: What’s your favourite Etsy shop that isn’t yours? Made Upon a Time by Charlie (a fellow blogger) Question 7: What’s your favourite way to spend your free time when you’re alone?
Writing, mainly flash fiction! Question 8: What’s your favourite junk food?
I don't really like junk food so I don't have a favourite. Question 9: Do you have a pet or pets? If so, what kind and what are their names?
None at the moment. I have had quite a few before though. Question 10: What are your number one favourite nonfiction and fiction books?
These change so often, but at the moment, The Cure of Ars and Love Comes Softly I have just finished reading it and it was so amazing. Thanks Imogen for recommending it! Question 11: What’s your favourite beauty product?
I don't have one. I don't wear any makeup at all. Question 12: When were you last embarrassed? What happened?
I went to some friend's house and we took some ridiculous photos of ourselves, then my friend showed them to some other people. Question 13: If you could only drink one beverage (besides water) for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Tea! Question 14: What’s your favourite movie?
Beauty and the Beast, no question. I'm hunting for the broadway version. It has song amazing songs. Question 15: What were you in high school: prom queen, nerd, cheerleader, jock, valedictorian, band geek, loner, artist, prep?
I never went to school, but if I did I would be either nerd of loner, most likely both, I'm a bit shy. Question 16: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
In the bush. I lived there for about a year and it was lovely. Not outback Australia, just a small village somewhere. Somewhere quiet at any rate! Also somewhere where I don't have to see many people. Question 17: PC or Mac?
PC, I've never used anything else, but I would like to try Mac. Question 18: Last romantic gesture from a crush, date, boy/girlfriend, spouse?
I have neither! Question 19: Favourite celebrity?
I don't really have one. I like a lot, but I don't have a favourite. Question 20: What blogger do you secretly want be best friends with?
Why do I tell people this when they might read it? OK, Morning!
Today I watched Colbie Caillat's song-Try. You have to watch it. Even if you're not a fan of that stuff, please give it a go. It has a great message, one that not many people get. This message needs to be shared.
This is my fiftieth post which to me is amazing! I can't believe I have reached it. I haven't even been blogging that long. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and helped me reach this HUGE number of posts.
I know I said I wasn't doing anymore awards and tags, but this award was just too good to pass up! I feel really honoured at having been nominated for this.
Thanks so much Jollygirl for nominating me for the Tribute To Writers award. I'm so excited to get started!

Rules:
1. Answer All Questions
2. Put the picture in your post (has to be linked back to Jollygirl)
3. Tell what you love about writing (if you like writing. if you don't, then you don't have to do this award)
4. Share one piece of writing.

5. Have fun!
Questions:
1. What is your favorite type of writing?
Novels and the sort of paragraphy things I do. I'm not sure what they are. If someone can tell me what type of writing I write, I would be ever so obliged. It's just I don't know if it's poetry or ...I don't know!
2. When did you start writing?
When I was about six. My mum used to get me to write short stories to help me learn to spell. Ever since I have been hooked! Mum never thought I would take to it so.
3. Your favorite author?
It changes a lot, but at the moment it's Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl and Airman
4. Have you ever finished a novel?
Not properly. I got one through two edits though.
5. On a scale of one to ten what would you rate writing?
10.5 because it's better than anything else to me.
Why I like writing:
I like writing because it's the only way I can really express myself and make a difference. I'm to shy in real life and wouldn't have the courage to stand up and say 'Hey I have something to tell you'.
I have been really bad recently, comments have gone without replies, emails haven't been read and all in all I have been hopeless. I'm really, really sorry. I have had a terrible tummy bug and I wasn't up to going on my computer. I am feeling a bit better today, so I caught up with everything and I'm writing another post.

Part two: Cheering others up!!! 1. What do you do to cheer others up?

Here finally is my post about Morning's blog. So sorry it took so long! It's a really amazing blog, but I have been so busy I haven't had time to write about it before.
The first thing you notice when you visit Morning's blog is her amazing blog design! I really love it. Morning sure knows what she's doing with the codes. (She also designed my blog). Isn't it lovely?
Morning's blog was one of the blogs that made me want to start blogging. Her posts always inspired me and made me want to go start my own blog, which in the end I did.
Morning writes all kinds of posts, from stories from her life to bits of writing she has done. All of them are amazing and have her mark of awesomness on them.
Morning's been a great friend to me, so be sure to go check out her blog. It really is amazing:)
For my Big Helper's tag, I have to write a post about each of the blogs I tag. Today I will write one about Imogen's and tomorrow I will write one about Morning's. Sorry this took me so long to do! I hope I do this right.
Imogen's blog is mainly a writing blog. I have found heaps of really cool facts on it and it's really helping me with all my writing.
She often posts book posts also, so if you're ever in need of a book to read. Be sure to pop over there at once.
Imogen has an interesting way of writing. I have never seen a blog like hers. She suggests things and tells stories about her own experiences. I really love visiting her blog.
If you're ever in need of writing advice or want books to read, pop over to Imogen's blog!
The other day Anna from Banana and Bear tagged me for the Summer Rewind Tag, thanks so much Anna! But because I live in Australia where winter is just finishing, I will do it as a Winter Rewind Tag. Make sense?
