Saturday is here which means that once again I will be sharing my opinions, musings, and writings with you. Today I have a haiku about how time seems to stretch out into forever but soon it is gone leaving only memories in its wake. It is called Forever Gone.
We had forever
But forever is so short
And soon it was gone
I was recently nominated for the Sunshine Blogger Award and I am so excited to do it. A big thank you to The long distance relationship for nominating me. Let’s get started.
Questions
Which is your favorite childhood story book and why?
That’s a hard question since I had a lot of story books that I loved. But if I had to choose I would have to say Puff the Magic Dragon.
Had any paranormal experience? Please share.
No, unless you count my cats as ghostly devilish beings.
What is the one thing that you certainly want/wanted at your wedding?
Ummm….no idea. So, lets just move on.
What’s your thinking about a perfect couple?
I don’t know. It changes depending upon what couple I am reading about.
What is your plan for old age?
To travel the world and read way too many books.
If you could go back in time which place or whom would you love to visit?
This one is hard. I think I would go back in time to London during the 1700s or 1800s but then again I have always wanted to meet Robert E. Lee and Abraham Lincoln. Or I could visit the Dark ages or the Renaissance. I don’t know. I want to visit and see it all.
Camping or slumber party?
Camping!
Which book or movie would you like to be the hero/heroine of?
Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco!!!
What is your favorite thing about being single?
I don’t know. I’ve never dated so……
What is your most prized possession?
My books.
Share the funniest moments of your life.
The funniest moment I can think of is when my sister told me that I had a mosquito on my face. Without thinking I slapped myself in the face in an attempt to kill the mosquito. I found out mere seconds later that there was no mosquito and that my sister was just joking. It was hilarious.

My Questions:
Sharing Saturday is once again upon our doorstep. Today I was looking back upon my old posts and seeing how my posts have changed since the beginning. I look at what I have added and what I have dropped in my posts. Blogging is a continual experiment. An experiment to find what works, what is fun, what doesn’t work, and what people want to read.
For me personally, I noticed a major growth in the length of my posts. Looking at my first post I wonder what I was thinking when I wrote it for it is two measly paragraphs stating that I liked the book and what it was about. Beyond that, for the first four or so months of my blogging journey all, I would write were book reviews. No tags and no personality to really show what my blog was all about. I also seemed to neglect the writing portion of my blog which is part of the reason I started Sharing Saturdays. Furthermore, I posted irregularly for the longest time and it is only recently that I have really started to post at evenly spaced intervals.
So, what am I sharing today? My blogging story? No, I am going to show you a comparison of my first book review and the one I just recently posted.
| Measurement | First Book Review (An Ember in the Ashes) | Most Recent Book Review (The Robber Bride) | Difference |
| Total Words | 112 words | 390 | 278 words |
| Number of Images | 1 image | 2 images | 1 image |
| Words spent on personal opinion | 45 words | 287 words | 242 words |
| Words spent on explaining what the book is about | 67 words | 103 words | 36 words |
| Number of Paragraphs | 2 paragraphs | 4 paragraphs | 2 paragraphs |
I notice the changes that I have wrought since I started this blog slightly over a year ago. I know that my blog will change as I change and I am excited to see how my blog grows and changes.
Please leave a comment below on what you have changed about your blog through the months or years.
Thirty-one weeks of Sharing Saturdays has reached us. Time has just flown by me. So, today I will share with you a poem I wrote about time. It is about how we have little time on this Earth and we must use it wisely. The poem is meant to be encouraging to show that each and every person is important in the scheme time has laid.
We are but minutes in the vast expanse of time
A single tiny thread in a grand tapestry
As one ends another continues
Without one thread or minute
The pattern of the world itself is disrupted
Write your Destiny
