THE RULES:
1. Thank the person who nominated you with a link to their blog.
2. Make a post of the award (with a photo of the logo).
3. Post the rules
4. Ask 5-10 questions of your choice.
5. Nominate 10-30 other bloggers (or more) and notify them.
Here are my responses to Darell’s questions:
1. What is an example of something good to have come from your lockdown experience?
Answer: In my lockdown experience, I have been able to spend a lot of time with my family that I am very grateful for. Also, I have been able to dedicate a lot of time to my writing and this blog. My love for writing has truly blossomed.
2. Which blog is currently your favourite and post the link here?
Answer: It is hard to pick a favorite out of the blogs I have written. Each came from a different place in my heart. However, my post Butterfly began my love for writing more poetic pieces. You can check it out here: https://alattawords.wordpress.com/2020/04/18/butterfly/
3. Why do you blog?
Answer: I blog simply because I love writing. Since I was a child I have had a rather large imagination. When I played with my toys I would always come up with stories for them. I didn’t begin my own writing until I was older, and didn’t find my true love for it until more recently. I firmly believe that I was born to write. I am still growing and a lot of what I write isn’t perfect, but I enjoy it nonetheless. It warms my heart when others love my writing, too.
4. What are the features of a great blog?
Answers: I believe what makes a blog great is if it comes from a place of love and creativity. If you blog about something you love, whether that be writing, travel, or even food, it makes it great.
5. Who is your favourite writer and why?
Answer: My favorite writer is Stephen King. So often I say I would love to just get inside of his mind and listen to his thoughts. I love the way he writes and develops characters. I also love how he focuses on the human experience and how they handle the unexplainable. Stephen King’s book On Writing has also been a huge influence.
6. What is your favourite book and why?
Answer: My favorite book currently is Stephen King’s Institute. It is one of his most recent novels. The reason I love it is because the main character is a child and I believe it shows how children are capable of incredible things, more than adults often realize.
7. Where in the world would you like to take a vacation?
Answer: Australia has always been my dream destination.
8. When is the best time to write/blog?
Answer: Often my best thoughts come at night, so that’s the best time for me.
9. Where does your motivation to write/blog come from?
Answer: My motivation comes from my love for writing.
10. If you had the opportunity to be stuck on a desert island with anyone from history to the present day, who would that person be and why?
Answer: I would choose either Stephen King or Stephen Hawking. King because he could teach me so much about writing and share his thoughts with me. I know I would leave that island a better writer. Hawking because his mind fascinates me and I look up to him for the fact that he never let his disability define him. He continued doing what he loved the most.

Alexis! 😃I’m so sorry for the late reply, I don’t know why this comment went to the spam folder (maybe because a link was included)
But I’m so happy and glad to see that you were nominated by Darell! 😃
Stephen king? 😃honestly, because of your emphasis on this great writer, I will have to look him up on google to also learn unique things from him.
You are a wonderful writer and one day, you will meet with Stephen King himself.
Awwww, giving your toys name, that’s cute 😇
And yeah, at nights, motivation to write do come. But for me, sleep is always the close company of motivation to write, at nights.
So instead of me to write, I choose sleep 😂😂😂😂
But I sure learnt something from what you said about Stephen King. Thanks so much for enlightening me on that.
And congratulations 🎉🍾🎈🎊
You are a blogster!!!😊😊😊

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any methods to help stop content from being stolen? I’d really appreciate it.
