Does Anyone Else Have Trouble With Picking Favourites?

 

After being out of town for a few days, I'm back! Whoopee (does anyone else eat these?)!!! And guess what I've come back to? I blog award. Thank you so much Lydia @ The Fashion Cheetah.

Rules:

1. Copy and paste these rules on to your award post.

2. Come up with at least 5 fun questions for your nominees to answer.

3. Nominate at least 5 people who you think are amazing and have an amazing blog.

4. List at least one reason why you appreciate the people you nominated.

5. Put this award on your sidebar or award/tag page if you were nominated.

6. Leave a comment on your nominees' blogs letting them know they've been nominated.

 

Questions:

 

1. How are you so fabulous?
By being utterly nuts and confusing everyone? Does this count?!

 

2. Are you currently writing anything?

I'm so glad you took the time to ask this question, because yes! As most of you properly have realised by now (if not you haven't read my last posts), I'm writing a novel.

 

I'm really excited about it. It's a fantasy world travelling book. If that helps ya at all. I have no idea how to sum it up. I did post some quotes from is though, so take a look at those. And if you'd like (or not like) I'd also love to post more of them!

 

3. Where do you find your inspiration?

Oh, the mundane things in life. I busy train, teens mucking around in the shops, a cup of coffee and scones.

 

There isn't really a set place I find my inspiration. More like I find it everywhere, in everything I see, do and hear. Inspiration doesn't just come from one place, but many!

 

4. Favourite drink?

Tea, tea, TEA!!! I'm a tea addict. You can't stop me from drinking it. Not the herbal tea, just plain, black tea with no sugar. Ah, heaven!

 

5. What inspired your blog name?

Well it's no unknown fact that I'm mad and crazy and bonkers. So I just though, 'how do you make that completely obvious from the first glance at my blog?' Well the answer was, put it in the title.

 

And then I thought that it might not be a great idea to scare people away, so I lied a bit and put an '(Almost)' in there. Yup, a big fat lie.

 

So that is how (Almost) Completely Mad got it's name. It didn't take much thinking. In fact I put no thought into what to call my blog at all. It was the first name I could think of and it's stuck.

 

Who I Nominate:

 

Imogen @ Gossiping with Dragons : For being a great friend, a constant inspiration, help and flow of ideas.

 

Stephanie @ Called His: For helping my faith and showing me that we're not all perfect. And for always making me smile.

 

Cait @ Paper Fury: For always giving me a constant stream of books to read and ruling over me. You're advice is always wanted.

 

 La La in the Library @ La La in the Library: For awesome posts, comments and suggestions and the best blog feature ever!

 

Paige @ The Joys of Being Paige: For the best advice and recipes. Your blog always inspires me to go and do something.

 

My Questions:

 

1. What's your favourite broken character in a book?

2. Who were the last characters you shipped? Were you right?

3. What instruments can you play and what kind of feel does it give you? (i.e romantic, jazzy, joyful, exciting)

4. What inspired the last thing you wrote and what was it?

5. On a scale of 1-10 how MAD are you?

 

So as you might have noticed, I'm really bad at awards. I hate picking favourites in friends. I don't like any of you more than the others. I hope you understand that.

What do you guys think? Should I follow the trend and have a Q & A. Would you be interested in having your questions answered? BTW, my FAQ page is being launched soon.

I Try To Mix It Up a Bit + Lot's of Answers

So, I have a lot to cram into one post today, I'll just jump into it and not waffle around.

Firstly, Jollygirl @ Reflections of a Jollygirl is holding a blog party for her first blog anniversary.

Questions:

1.How did you come up with the name of your blog?
OK, so I think that my name states just about all you need to know. Very knows I'm almost completely mad, so that became my name!

2.Favorite party snack? Why?
Um, I don't actually go to parties! *kind of embarrassing* I have no idea what my favourite snack would be. But let's just say  that if it has chocolate in it, then I want it.

3.What type of chocolate is your favorite? Milk, dark, white, or other?
Dark. I have a thing for dark, but for something sweet, rocky road. Is there anything else to say? They're awesome.

4.Describe your favorite memory?
I'm not too sure I have one. But I do have a lot of fun memories from when I was little. My brothers and I used to spend heaps of time over at our cousins'. We used to play all these games, like soccer with boys against girls, or hide and seek with heaps of seekers and one hider. None of the games were very fair!

5. What is your favorite post that I have published on this blog?

Thanks for letting me join in Jollygirl. Sorry if I was brief, but it's a double post, so I have to be quick so people don't get bored!

BLOGGING
How To Take a Good Blogging Break
I don't know about you, but I'm frankly scared of taking a blogging break, just in case I happen to loose readers, not be able to get back into writing properly and many other reasons.
So today, I thought I would share with you some tips for taking a great blogging break and getting back ...

Top Four Blogging Tips to Get Readers
So many new bloggers go, 'I wish I has more readers. I've written a post, why is no one commenting?'. It's kind of a bit silly. They don't seem to realise that there is more that they have to do to get people interested.
You can't just go 'I've got a post, I will just sit back and wait for readers'. Now I don't have a big blog, so I can't really say how to get popular and huge, but I can tell you a few...

OTHER
My Top Five Places to Find Inspiration
Inspiration is one thing that always bugs me. Every few days I need a new idea for a new blog post and after a little while, the inspiration just stops flowing!
So today, I decided to put together my top five places to get inspiration...

Is Your Faith Something to Hide or Be Proud of?
Do you ever think that no one really wants to talk about their religion. It's something that people seem to be really afraid to talk about. They're afraid of being judged for it.
I've always admired those people who go straight out and talk about...

The Ins and Outs of Being Short | Can You Relate?
Most of you have probably worked out that I'm short. I've mentioned it in a couple of posts, but I don't think I've ever made a huge thing about it.
Today I thought I would do what I do best, ramble about being short. Because there is a lot to say about your height.
One of the biggest problems about being short is not being able...

Enjoy rereading these posts! Thanks Emily for creating this tag. It's a great help.

I might be a little bit busy of the next few days as I'm in the process of setting up a share blog with my good friend, Bryleigh. So be warned!

Where In I Reveal My Fandoms and Dream Friend

I'm feeling all special (and glittery *thanks Cait*) because Cait @ Paper Fury has tagged ME for the Sisterhood of the World Blog Award. I'm so EXCITED!!! Thank you Cait.

So before I get too hyper, let's get onto this award, shall we?

RULES:
1. Thank the blogger that nominated you and link back to their website.
2. Post the award’s logo on your blog.
3. Answer the ten questions you have been asked.
4. Nominator ten other bloggers and ask them ten other questions.

 

 

Well, let's just say Cait went all out and there are seventeen (?) questions to answer (she's a rule breaker), so I have quite a bit of answering to do!

What was the last 5 star book you read?

 

Ok, so I read like  a LOT. I can't read enough, so properly this well be different by the time you read this (I only seem to read good books).

 

But at the moment, my last 5 star book would be...Cress!I waited forever to get this book. I love the Lunar Chronicles.

 

Sadly though, after getting my hands on it, I didn't read it straight away due to other books begging to be read, but be rest assured, it's read now!

 

How many books are on your yearly reading challenge?

 

To tell the truth, I only joined Goodreads the other day, so sadly I couldn't make a goal for this year. I'm definitely doing it for next year though. I think I will be going for 150, but I'm not sure.

 

Have you met any authors?

 

No, sadly, I haven't, but I would give anything to meet one. It's my dream to get one of sign a copy of their book in person (you know, while I'm there)! That would be amazing. One day, one day (hopefully soon).

 

Are you the only reader in your family or are you a reading family?

 

I wish I had a reading family, but unfortunately I'm the only reader. Sometimes I get the feeling my family thinks I'm slightly strange and a bit loopy, but book are my LIFE!!!!

 

Which book published in 2014 surprised you the most (good or bad)?

 

Blood of Olympus. I don't know what I expected, but for some reasons, House of Hades slightly disappointed me. I wasn't sure about Blood of Olympus, but it turned out to be amazing and all my bad thoughts about House of Hades were cleared up at the same time.

 

What new author did you discover this year that you think people should keep an eye on?

 

Juliet Marilla (or however it's spelt). She's not a new author, but I've only just discovered her and she's a really good author.

 

If I was to give you a hint, go read Wildwood Dancing.

 

Which book-to-movie adaptation was your favourite this year?

 

I must admit, I don't actually watch my book-to-movie adaptations. But I did see the second Hobbit movie (was that this year it came out on DVD?). That was amazing. So I have seen something and hopefully I will be seeing the last one before next year.

 

Do you prefer writing negative or positive reviews?

 

Positive! I love telling people about what I love, I'm not so much one of those people who like to moan about made things. I try to just move on from them.

 

Is commenting on blogs an easy thing for you to do?

 

Ah, no! I love getting comments and talking to people, but it's not easy for me. I find it hard to find the right words and I'm always worrying that people won't think I've read the post properly and can't be bothered to take the time to write something unique

 

I do try to comment back for every comment I get and I love talking to everyone. I adore getting comments as well, so I shouldn't really be complaining.

 

What’s the book/series that everyone raves about but you just didn’t get?

 

I don't know. I'm not really one of those people who follow the trends,so I don't read what everyone else is crazy about! Sorry about that.

 

What bookish merchandise are you dying to get your hands on?

 

A graphic tee. Something to do with a favourite series hopefully. Here's what would be ideal:

 

via

via

 

 

What’s your most anticipated book of 2015?

 

Winter! I am simply in love with the Lunar Chronicles at the moment. Nothing would be better than getting Winter. Come on, be released quicker!

 

Which book character do you wish you could be best friends with?

 

Leo Valdez! Ok, I know I mention him all the time, but hey! He's amazing. Can you imagine being friends with him? He's got a metal dragon, can set himself on fire if I get cold and could make me anything I would want. Yup, I'd love him to be my friend!

 

What’s your favourite book outside of the genre you read most often?

 

Love Comes Softly. I never read Romances, but Love Comes Softly is different, it's kind hearted, clean, and the characters are crazily real! I love this book to the moon and back.

 

Any TV shows in particular that you’re addicted to right now?

 

I don't watch TV very much, but Doctor Who is amazing (especially Eccleston). I could rant for ages over how good it is. Doctor Who gives me feels that nothing else will. It's exciting and full of action and the best thing is, unlike other good things, it doesn't end. And it doesn't get old either. Seriously, just watch it!

 

Do you listen to audiobooks and, if so, where do you get them from?

 

I love audiobooks. I don't have many though. I can't afford to pay for them. What money I do have normally goes towards more kindle books, but sometimes I do stumble upon free audiobooks or things like that.

 

I don't really have a site for them though, sorry about that. 

 

What is the thing you love most about blogging?

 

I love this questions, it never get's old. My most favourite thing about blogging is being about to get to know of all you guys and talk to you.

 

I also love sharing my thoughts, hobbies, writings and other stuff with the world. Let's admit it, I wouldn't have much of a life without blogging.

 

Sadly I'm not nominating anyone else or asking any other questions today. My brain is kind of burnt out and useless, so sorry about that.

 

If anyone else wants to do this, feel free. Just answer these questions (or however many you want to) and leave me a link to your post.

Blogger Recognition Award (Again!)

Kat from Kiss Me Goodbye has nominated me for the blogger recognition award! Thanks so much Kat.

RULES

- Give a brief story of how your blog got started, and give a piece or two of advice to new bloggers. Thank whoever nominated you, and link to their blog. List who you've nominated in the post.

- Make sure to also attach the award itself! (You can do this by right clicking, saving, and uploading the image.)
- Comment on each blog and let them know you've nominated them. Provide a link to the award post you created.
- Provide a link to the original post on Edge of Night. That way, anyone can find the original guidelines and post if needed, and we can keep it from mutating and becoming confusing!
- For this award, you must nominate 15 peeps. You can't just go "I nominate this award to whoever wants it comment below" like that. You can decline the award also if you do not want to do the above rules.

My Story:
I shared this last time I did the blogger recognition award, but it's worth sharing again. So here I go...

I was always a writer. I loved scribbling in my old notebook full of ideas, but sadly there was no where and no one to share them all with.

My friends didn't seem interested in what I was doing, so I kept my writing to myself for ages, until I heard about blogging.

Blogging seemed perfect, a place where you can share your work and make friends, it was too good to be true. But it was there.

So I made myself an account and a blog and here I am, sharing my writing, thoughts and other such bits and bobs.

I'm very glad I didn't create this blog. It's been so much fun, I've learnt so much and made so many friends. Thank you to everyone whose helped my blog get this far!

My Advice:
Take your time. Think carefully about you blog name, your design and what you write. You want everything to be perfect. Don't just have any old thing, make sure it's what you want and not what other people say.

Also, edit. There's nothing worse than reading a post that hasn't properly been edited. Go back through it and make sure that it's all come out right. You want to be proud of what you've written remember.

My Nominees:
Lyndsey from A Writers Thoughts
Erin from Erin Estella
Noelle from Live. Love. Move
Cathy from Hello, Cathy
Mahnoor from Mahnoor Apple
Catalina from The Emo Wolverine Writes
Mackenzie from Think. Eat. Write. Read

Sorry, this isn't fifteen, but I don't know enough bloggers that haven't already been nominated.

Thanks so much for reading. I know my award posts aren't very interesting, so this means a lot to me.

I'm Talking About Winter?! But It's Almost Summer!

Oakstar over at An Amazing Case of Wanderlust, tagged me for the My Favourite Things About Winter  tag. Thanks so much!

Just so you guys know (though it properly won't bother you), it's actually almost summer where I live, but this tag looks cool and hay, I've been tagged for it. I might as well do it anyway.

So onto the tag:

The Rules:

1.Thank the person who tagged you. (Link to their blog!)
2. Tell your top 5 favourite things about winter.
3. Answer the person who tagged you's questions about winter.
4. Ask 5 questions about winter for the people you tagged to answer.
5. Tag 3 or more people!

My top five favourite things about winter:

1. Wearing scarves. I have an obsession with scarves. I'm collecting them. There is no such thing as too many scarves in my option. If you could wear scarves in summer, the world would be a better place.

2. Cuddling down in a blanket and reading a good book. There's nothing like an amazing book on a cold winter's night, when you're all wrapped up in a blanket.

3. Heaters. Being able to turn the heater in my bedroom always makes things more cosy and peaceful. I always know winter has arrived when I flick the power back on.

4. Tea! I drink tea all year around (some might even say I'm addicted), but winter is the time of year when I get an excuse to drink more tea than should really be good for me and get away with it.

5. Staying indoors. I'm not really a social butterfly. I love staying home, reading and writing. Winter is the time of year when no one expects you to go out into the world and see people. It's the time for getting on a doing your own things.

Oakstar's Questions:

1.Favourite carol, for any holiday in this season?
I'm not quite sure about this question. Sorry, about that. If it means favourite carol for any holiday that falls in winter where I live, then I honestly have no clue. I'm not even sure if there are any big holidays in winter.
But if this question means, for any holiday this season I'm in currently, then I still have no clue. Nothing falls in spring. But next month it's summer and it's also Christmas and my favourite Christmas carol is:

Wow! It feels strange to be sharing Christmas carols, I didn't realise it was so close.

2.Favourite winter dish (ex. turkey or hot chocolate or candy cane)
Does tea count? It's sort of my favourite thing all year around!

3.Favourite winter sport? I don't really have one. I can't do any of them, but my favourite to watch is the skiing or the ice dancing!

 4.How old were you when you built your first snowman? (if it's summer where you live, change this to sand castle)
Thanks Oakstar for this extra option. I was seven when I built my first sandcastle. That was the first I'd ever been to the beach.
Believe it or not, I've never seen settled snow. It hardly ever snows in Australia. Where I live it only snows once every few years and then it never settles and that's when it's really cold (for us).

5.Favourite holiday movie?
If this means, Christmas movie (I'm really bad at understanding questions, but we have different uses for words in Australia), then that would be A Muppet's Christmas Carol. I think that's what's it's called, I haven't watched it for a few years.

I tag:
SW from A Free Mind
Celia from Celia Boldizar
Jollygirl from Reflections of a Jollygirl

My Questions:
1. What's the first five words winter makes you think of?
2. What's your favourite thing to do in winter?
3. What's your favourite winter drink?
4. What's your favourite winter clothes?
5. What months are winter where you live?

Thanks so much for getting to the end of this post. It's seems really weird to be talking about winter when I'm sitting here on a really hot train heading to my job.

Blogger Recognition Award

Thanks Lydia for tagging me for the Blogger Recognition Award. I feel really special for this!

Rules:

Select 15 other blogs you want to give the award to. Do some digging if you must! Find those blogs. You cannot nominate yourself or the person who has nominated you.

Write a post to show off your award! Give a brief story of how your blog got started, and give a piece or two of advice to new bloggers. Thank whoever nominated you, and provide a link to their blog. List who you've nominated in the post. Make sure to also attach the award itself!

Comment on each blog and let them know you've nominated them. Provide a link to the award post you created.

Provide a link to the original post on Edge of Night. That way, anyone can find the original guidelines and post if needed, and we can keep it from mutating and becoming confusing! (It happens LOL).

Story about my blog and my advice:
I started my blog about four and a half/ five months ago. I can't really believe it's been that long already.

I mainly started my blog to share my writing and make friends. I wanted somewhere to share all my little bits and bob that had no where else to go and blogging seemed like the best thing to do.

My advice is, don't expect too much at first. It takes a while to build up you're blog and you can't expect too much all at once.

Also, talk to other bloggers. People won't find you unless you do, so it's worth it.

Nominees:
