Recently my blogging has been completed in the wee hours of the morning with my son's laptop sitting in my lap, in my bed. That is why it's called a laptop, right?!
For the life of me sitting in front of my desktop to write just doesn't happen. If I am creating a digital image, art or something on one of the many drawing programs I have then, for some reason, I can sit there for hours! However...The creative juices just do not flow when I am in that computer chair, uncomfortable and I need words. I know...I'm weird!
Last night, for the third night in a row, sleep would not come. Period. I'm not complaining because I do enjoy the writing and updating on my blog when the house is quite and no one is stirring. Yet - on the other hand, if I don't get some sleep I am never, never, never going to get these dark circles under my eyes to brighten up!!
My bedroom, specifically my bed, is my haven. My estuary. I know, I know it's not a body of water but I feel comfortable here. Like the lower end of a river, quite, alone and offering all I need from its surroundings. You don't like that? Okay, let me try something else......Lets see....it's my retreat? No, that sounds like I rush to get there...that's not quite right. My bed is where I feel most comfortable physically when doing certain tasks like reading, cross-stitching, gaming so it is my sanctum!!! yeah, that's it!! My sanctum. PG Note: If I had a husband I'd call it my sanctuary and I guarantee I wouldn't be writing and sewing..(clearing throat) LOL
Wow...how did I wander off in that direction?? I just know that when my son is out (which is 80% of the time, he is 24) and my granddaughter has left for the day, the rest of the house seems lonely, empty, void. I don't like it. That's when I retreat back to my sanctum and I write.
Just curious...I blog and blog away, however, I don't "publish" all that I blog. Sometimes just typing out what is in my mind is like having a pros and cons list. I wonder if other Bloggers do this? Do you create articles and just keep it under your posts' list? I may go a few days without publishing a post but it doesn't mean I've not written one. Hard to believe I know... but... every article I write isn't always beaming with smiles, dandelions and the scent of honeysuckle! ☺
So my questions are
- Where are you when you write? (I know your're at the computer silly)
- Do you seem to have a certain time of day when you are more creative?
- Once you begin your writing do you find your thoughts wandering or are you focused?
- Is blogging personal or more of a task you feel obligated to complete?
- Does your day dictate your writing?
- Are you a self taught blogger or have you attended a conference?
- Do you host ads on your site and if so do you you find it to be profitable?
- Are you a "bed blogger" like myself?
- How did you get followers and does that really matter?
I'm just being me...curious.
okay, okay, guess I've been nosy enough, I've got a lot more questions but I'll chill as my kids say! haha! Time to lay my head down and try to nap for a bit!
