Sandra Williams from Parenting Under The Stars has tagged me to answer five questions about blogging. After I answer my questions, I will tag five people who blog, and they will answer on thier blogs.

Here are the questions:
*How long have you been blogging?
*What inspired you to start a blog and who are your mentors?
*Are You trying to make money online, or just doing it for fun?
*Tell me 3 things you LOVE about being online.
*Tell me 3 things you STRUGGLE with in the online world.

How long have you been blogging?
I have been blogging on and off for about 3 years, but steadily for one year.

What inspired you to start a blog and who are your mentors?
Honestly, I am most inspired by my kids. I have always written journals, or other creative things, but when I saw my kids begin writing online, using myspace.com and xanga.com- I was very interested.
My husband inspires me to write from my heart, and let God use me.
My mom is also a great mentor and inspiration She keeps a journal, a prayer journal, and has always encouraged me to use my gifts.
Another inspiration to me is the ladies at the momwriters group I belong to. They are always encouraging each other, no matter what the writing venue is.

Are You trying to make money online, or just doing it for fun?
I began doing it for fun, but am now making money at it. I would do it just for fun….but I would rather have fun and make money. My other writing ventures are strictly for money. (and I have fun!)

Tell me 3 things you LOVE about being online.
1) I love the convenience, I can write and work from home.
2) I love meeting people from all over the world, and I hope to touch many lives.
3) It gives a sort of freedom to say things I might not say to a person face to face, and enables me to express myself with more grace than I can verbally.

Tell me 3 things you STRUGGLE with in the online world.
1) I struggle with impersonal relationships. I feel hindered from getting to really know people.
2) The way it is so easy to be phony and hard to know when someone is.
3) I don’t like meeting people, developing online friendships, and then never hearing from them again.

Now to tag others:
Country Gal at livingruralonline.com
Bryan Comer at sympathypain.com
April Gilford at Life As A Christian
Woman
Valerie at Just Thinking
Sandra Hamlett at Money In the Pocket

Have fun answering, and hopefully playing tag will help us get in shape. (imagine that??)

    Thanks for playing Jean! Yes kids can be inspiring can’t they. The way my 11 year olds fingers fly on the computer blows my mind.

    God did give you a gift and I enjoy reading your posts. :)
