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.

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 from when the ideas stop coming.

1. Pinterest, Tumblr, ect.
Any place that you can look photos up on. Just go surf through other people's photos for a little while. I'm sure that after a little bit you will find ideas starting to come.
 
2. Quotes.
I don't know about you, but I love looking through famous quotes and seeing what inspired other people. Quite often, these quotes will give me an idea for a blog post. My favourite place to look up quotes is BrainyQuote (just so you know).
 
3. Other Blogs.
I'm not saying to go out there and steal other people's ideas, but looking through what other people have written about might help you. Going through your favourite blogs might also help you get into the mood to write.
 
4. Life.
Life is an amazing place to look for ideas in. Will a review of that amazing book you just read be interesting? Would people enjoy hearing about how you're trying to get fit and healthy? Think about what is interesting in your life at the moment.
 
5. YouTube.
Try watching your favourite videos. Even music videos might strike an idea and get to racing to go write. Don't get distracted though, YouTube can keep you from your post if you stay too long.
 
 
Well those are my top five tips on where to find inspiration, if you have anything to add, feel free. I would love to hear of some more places to help keep me inspired.
