Sunday Stealing: The Meme About Blogging

This meme is called Sunday Stealing. I got an invitation to join in my other blog but was unable to join that week. This time, I made sure I'd join and decided to post it here in my first (I have four) and original blog.

Originally, this meme was "stolen" from Momma of Momma Blogs A lot.



Sunday Stealing: The Meme About Blogging

1. How long have you been blogging?
I started blogging last December but I stopped. Then I became active again last February.

2. Any advice to beginners?
I always say write to express and not to impress.

3. What are the good things blogging has brought to your life?
Well first off, I was able to meet a lot of interesting people. I haven't had the chance to meet them in person but I don't mind. Next, it helps me to be more expressive. I'm really not a good writer but blogging helped express more what I cannot say in real life. Yes, my alter egos were formed.

4. What would you consider the pitfalls?
I guess the only pitfalls that I see is that no matter how I try to be open and expressive to my readers, there are just some things that I just need to keep to myself. Other than that, careful with the Google page rank. LOL!

5. Tell us about your blog name. Ever think of changing it? If so, to what? Why?
It took me a day or two to come up with my blog name. I am talking about this one, my first and original blog, Big Eyed Gal. I wanted something that describes me. And since I was a kid, I've been constantly teased for having big eyes. I've been called an owl or Ms. Flashlight (kids can be really mean! LOL) because of my big eyes and this is what prompted me to use this name for my blog. I don't think I'll be changing it. Heck, I even bought a domain for that name. Hee!

6. Knowing what you know now, was starting a blog a good thing for you? Why or why not?
Knowing that blogging is addicting, I'd still think it's a good thing for me. My family and friends get updates from my blogs even though it gets in the way of my studies. Haha!

7. How do you think blogging, bloggers, or the blogosphere has changed since you started?
I've only been "seriously" blogging since February of this year so this is kind of hard to answer. But so far, I would have to say that a lot of people are now doing paidblogging.

8. Ultimately, what would you like your blog to accomplish for you or others?
I want my blog to be able to inspire and give useful insights about the things I blabber about. Plus, I want my readers to be entertained. As for myself, I want my blog to be able to continue helping me to vent out with whatever it is I am thinking or feeling.
