I’ve been nominated by two lovely Canadian bloggers for the current Why Do I Write Blog Hop that’s making it’s way through the blogosphere. Although it’s always nice super cool to be thought worthy of by my peeps, I get vaguely panicky…I always think I have nothing interesting to say about myself. This blog hop, however, is a little different, with three of the four questions relating to writing. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m still panicking. But it’s a focused panic. I mean, why do I write? Before I get to the questions I want to thank Margo and Heather for thinking of me. Margo, from Creating In The Gap, hails from Nova Scotia, Canada. I’ve not yet made it to the Maritime provinces, but I definitely want to dip my toes in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean one day. I want to see the incredible Bay of Fundy with it’s massive tides, visit the home of my beloved Anne of Green Gables, and take in the beauty of the colourful architecture in Saint John’s, Newfoundland. Margo has impeccable style…think Jacquie O and Audrey Hepburn, and she’s gorgeous, and she’s got serious sewing skills. That’s like a hat trick in hockey, eh? Her blog posts are all kinds of pretty from her makes to the beautiful scenery. A little closer to home is Heather, from Where Heather Grows. Heather’s home base is Calgary, Alberta. Calgary had a freak snowstorm a few days ago, so no, I’m in no particular hurry to go there. Heather travels a lot, {I can understand why…snow! in summer!} and she also spends a lot of time in my home province of B.C. Heather has a fun, casual style with lots of funky pattern mixing. She has fabulous pink hair, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that she has three adorable senior pugs. Thank you both for nominating me! So why do I write? I guess the obvious answer would be so that we, you and I, can connect. I write, you comment…BAM…we’ve made a connection. {It’s a little more complex, but you get the idea.} Okay, seriously, I think a big reason I write is because it gives me a voice, and a voice I can EDIT. Take this post for example…I’ve written one {edit}two paragraphs and I’ve hit the backspace button eleventy hundred times. I can’t edit like that when … Continue reading WHY DO I WRITE : : BLOG HOP
