Behind the Blogger Tag

I'm so excited for this tag sweet Emma Starr @ Seven Billion Smiles nominated me for! I actually have a BUNCH of tags to catch up on (Mystery Blogger awards, another Liebster, etc.), so you should probably expect to see several of these types of posts in the coming weeks. ;)

And now, without any further ado, here's the . . .

Behind the Blogger Tag!!!

THE RULES:

1). Thank the person who nominated you

2). Answer the questions

3). Pingback to the creator: Ellyn of Allonsythornraxx 

4). Nominate 5+ bloggers to do the tag

EMMA'S QUESTIONS:

Why did you start blogging, and why have you kept blogging?

I started this blog because my mom told me to. ;) I'd just finished my service as Mrs. Marlow's temporary ghostwriter and couldn't wait to build a following of my own and share some encouragement with the world. I continue to blog now because of  1). this awesome community I've been placed in, 2). I find it a way to spread God's love with many souls, and 3). I'm able to connect with young authors, Andi fans, and those others who may be interested in reading The Whispers God Gives. 

What is your favorite type of blog post to write? Eeks, hard one. Probably a devotional or a life update. :)

What are your three top favorite blog posts? God Is Good, Exciting News and a Request for Prayer, and Release Day!

What are some of your favorite things to do to relax? Take a walk, listen to music, read a book, hold a baby, eat dumplings, and write. :)

What are three of your favorite things? Snail mail, my Kindle, and curling up on the couch with my family for a late night of watching I Love Lucy, Leave It to Beaver, or The Andy Griffith Show episodes.

What are your proudest blogging moments? I'm gonna change this question a little bit so that instead it asks what are my most fruitful blogging moments. These moments would be when a reader takes the time to comment and tell me she's been blessed by something I've posted, I'm hit with sudden inspiration for a fresh musing, or a new blogging friend wants help, advice, and/or encouragement for her own little corner of the web. :)

What are your hobbies outside of blogging? Writing, editing, reading, cuddling babies, spending time outdoors . . . 

Describe your personality in three words. Ohhh, I always seem to have a problem with questions like these. I think I need someone else's opinion of me. *hurries off to ask Mom* *returns with the following* Outgoing, heartfelt, compassionate. :D

What are your top three pet peeves? Anything (especially a spoon or someone's nails) scraping against something plastic, people disregarding the way I care for my books, and not having a towel in my hair the moment I emerge from the shower. 

What is something your followers don't know about you? I got sick on canned green beans once and haven't touched them since. xD

Whoosh, that was fun!! Now it's my turn to nominate some blogger buddies.

Abby, Caleigh, Caitlyn, Scotia, Sandrina, and Martha, (along with anyone else who'd like to do this award on their blogs or in the comments below), you guys have been tagged! ;)

Have fun! I look forward to seeing your answers. <3

Blessings,

Ellen S.
