I was literally thinking of writing a post similar to this when I logged onto my computer to find that the blogging queen herself, Zuky The BookBum! Thank you so much Zuky, I had no idea you could read minds! I’ve been wanting to et you guys get to know me better lately, so I hope you enjoy!
RULES
- Answer the questions down below
- Credit the creator of the tag (InkGirlWords)
- Nominate as many bloggers as you want, it has to be 5+ though
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN BLOGGING?
I have been blogging since June 1st of 2016. So, I’ve officially been blogging for just under 2 years. I know its cliché to say but, I honestly hadn’t realised I had been blogging for so long and time has just flown by so quickly, and that’s all due to you guys! (because you’re all awesome)
DO YOU ENJOY DOING TAGS?
I do enjoy doing tags, and I hope to create my own someday, but I definitely don’t do them as often as I could o maybe should on my blog. I just find that I am less creative when I do tags, and my blog is really the only place I have a creative space, so I guess I just do them less because I’m a snob and must always be at the centre of attention. *not really and am I writing sarcasm right? help me!*
DO YOU FOLLOW THE BLOGS THAT FOLLOW YOU?
Um… am I a bad blogger if I say no?
DESCRIBE YOUR BLOG IN 5 WORDS?
Recommendations. Anxiety. Honest. Aussie. Red.
HOW MANY POSTS HAVE YOU MADE ON YOUR BLOG? (not counting this tag!)
372. Oh. how time flies by! And, I can guarantee that at least half of those posts are not even worth your time because I was not a quality blogger™ back in the day and I don’t know how my OG followers even dealt with me.
ON A SCALE OF 1-10 HOW MUCH DO YOU ENJOY BLOGGING?
I think I’ll have to say the same as Zuky and go with 7.5
I love blogging (and sometimes blogging loves me) but, if I told you I wasn’t constantly stressed out about my blog and that I don’t sometimes stay up to 3 am because I’m anxious about my blog aesthetic then I would be lying. I am definitely proud of my blog (and myself) but, this is the second most anxiety-inducing thing in my life. Which is quite the achievement because, not to brag, but my life is a mess and I am an anxious heap 275% of the time.

WRITING OR READING BLOG POSTS?
It really depends on my mood, and I am one moody person so really I don’t know how anything gets done. Actually, I am pretty stubborn, so it’s probably that. Sometimes I will literally refuse to let myself get up until I finish my blog post/outline. You need to pee? Type faster!
Yup. I’m classy, don’t you know?
Honestly, though, it really does depend on the day and whether or not my brain wants to work with me. I will either bake 10 cakes, write 5 blog posts, finish a book and “sing” the entire Aladdin Musical soundtrack 30 times throughout the day, or I will sit on the couch, probably bake at least one cake and watch like, half an episode of The Office. I generally have to force myself to go through my reader though, because I guess I hate socialising or something, I don’t know.

Great answers. I think I’d probably put myself in a 7 or 8 range for enjoyment of the blogging process too. I am a perfectionist, and like you have spent many a late night worrying over my blog or a specific post!

Thank you! Haha, I don’t think I know any bloggers who would actually give it a 10??? I think we all love our blogs but they can just be so stressful, especially if we’re perfectionists. I think between 7 and 8 is a pretty good rating tbh.

Thank you so much for the shoutout! ♥ You are so kind and I loved your answers. I don’t think it makes you bad AT ALL for not following everyone back – I only follow back about 15% or so of the people who follow me, plus a handful more blogs who don’t follow me back. I get overwhelmed very easily. I actually was following about 400 blogs at the start of this year, and I devoted a couple of hours a day for a few days one week and went through every single blog that I followed. If they were inactive, only posted once or twice a month, or we never interacted, I looked at their posts, and if their posts weren’t something super interesting to me, I unfollowed them and I think I got my number down to somewhere in the 90s? Now I’m back up to about 130-140 but it still feels so much more manageable than it did before.

Not at all, Destiny! Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Sometimes I do feel bad for not following back but I do usually check out my followers’ blogs and sometimes I just have no interest in the books they read or talk about.
WOW, YOU FOLLOWED SO MANY PEOPLE!! I try to read all the recent blog posts for the people I’m following every day or two so I don’t know how you did it! I definitely don’t follow even 100 people so I bow down to you nonetheless!

Haha, you’re too kind Emma! 😍
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I think it’s just too much pressure to follow back tbh, also it’s just too much content that I probably will have no interest in?? And I already struggle with reading all the blog posts I follow already???
Crazy thank you for reading my post! I can’t wait to read your answers!

Thanks for the tag!
I loved this post and agree so much with everything you said, from not posting tags often to not following everything back. I think you need to learn pretty quickly that there is a line between what feels like courtesy to looking after your own sanity.

Thank you so much! I completely agree, it’s easy to get too crazy with your blog and the community and if we did everything we possibly could in the blogosphere we would be blogging 24 hours a day and we would all be sporting massive migraines 100% of the time.
