Regular readers will know that I love tags /awards like this as they can be a great way to get to know the person behind the blog a little more. They’re also a great way to get back into blogging or writing after a break.

My answers to Catherine’s Questions…

1. What are your goals as a Blogger?

At the moment my main goal is to get back to blogging regularly, as I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately. The coronavirus is partly to blame and I spoke previously about not feeling very motivated at the moment. So that’s something I’m going to be working on over the next few months. I have a few posts scheduled and ready to go live and others in the works.

2. Do you use music to help you write?

No. Personally I prefer to work in a quiet room with little / no distractions.

3. What inspired you to start writing?

Honestly, my GCSE English teacher. She’s the one that made me fall in love with writing, although I’d always loved literature. I began writing in journals when I was in school and Chimmyville became an online journal of sorts during college.

4. Do you prefer a coffee with a bone or wine with crackers?

Wine with crackers.

5. What are your goals as a writer, blogger, Poet?

My main blog as a blogger is to increase my engagement as I feel that’s more important than page views.
