The thoughts and life of me

I was not going to post anything today, as I have no plan to take on too much when I am just back and end up suffering a blogging burn-out after a short while. But I was tagged by John Rieber in a blogging challenge. I Don’t really do a lot of these, but I enjoyed reading what others did on this and it seemed like a good time for it now that I decided to return to the blogging scene. I do fear I migh not have very interesting answers on these questions, but I will do my best to give truthful ones, even if they might be a bit boring.

How did you come up with your blog name?

When I was starting this blog, many years ago, I though about what I was going to post about on the site. And as it was going to be a personal blog without any other theme than it being me posting about my life and thoughts I checked if the domain the thoughts and life of me was available and it was. So, to my mind the name of the blog reflects what you can find here. It does what it says on the tin.

If your blog was a person (fiction or real), who would it be?

I suppose a lot of people will have very good anwers to this question, but as narsissistic as it may sound, this blog is all about me and my life, so I guess it could not be anyone else than me.

What helps you create new content if you feel like you need some inspiration?

My content is based a lot on my thoughts and what is going on in my life, so if I don’t have any inspiration I just have to do something, so I have something to write about 😉 I am mostly joking, but there is quite a lot of truth in it. Sometimes I just don’t have any inspiration, so I like to have somethings in my drafts drawer for those times. Or if the inspiration just isn’t there at all I just won’t post. I don’t often suffer from lack of inspiration, maybe because I don’t hold myself to a very high standard as to what I think it is worth to post about. If you don’t like it don’t read it…

That being said I do often get inspiration when I read other peoples blog posts, even if I don’t search around for inspiration. I also find a lot of inspiration walking around in nature and that is something I enjoy doing weather I am stuck for ideas or not.

Is there anyone you would like to collaborate with?

Probably loads of people I Would have loved to collaborate with as there are so many great people on this platform, but I have no idea as to what I might collaborate on. And to me the what has to come before the who. It has to be the right person on the right project.

Is there anything more you wish you had or would like to learn as a blogger?

Oh, there are loads of things. I have a lot to learn and there are probably many many things I want to learn, that I don’t even know about. But for a start I am just trying to get used to the new things that has come in the app and online since I was here last. So I’m going to start small and do some research here before I undertake any other projects and learn more about both the writing, photography and all the technical stuff that can make blogging more fun. And learning is one of the things I enjoy the most about blogging. So this question will probably have a different answer in a few weeks, but for now I just want to get a new overview of the platform and such. But I feel like I learn new things all the time.

Do you have a specific style of blogging?

If I do it is not very intentional, so if you detect a specific style it is completely accidental.

I have enjoyed doing this blogging challenge, but I really don’t enjoy tagging people in these things. If you think it looks like fun and would like to join in consider yourself tagged and I would love to read how you got on with these questions.

Lastly I want to thank John for the tag and I would like to also direct you to his mouth watering food blog.
