the blog Muthering Heights And Other Senseless Sensibility.
Here's the first of the standard questions. Why do you blog?
Well, the short answer would be that I blog because I can! But to elaborate, I blog because I enjoy the pursuit…not so much the pursuit of writing, as I have never found my writing to be terribly interesting, but more so to connect and communicate with other people en masse, as I have little time to leave the house, and after three successive pregnancies, little memory on which to rely on to prompt me to call anyone!
I have also found that connecting with other bloggers has allowed me to learn quite a bit from persons that would never have had the opportunity to encounter otherwise. The blogging community is an amazing place, filled with lovely people!
What's the story behind the blog name?
I have always enjoyed a good play in words…nearly as much as I enjoy classic literature! (But not to worry, Jordan and I are certainly not Catherine and Heathcliff!)
What is the best thing about being a blogger?
(Allow me to preface my answer by noting that I will soon be giving birth to my third child in three years, which should suffice to explain that I do NOT get out much!) The best part of blogging, as far as I am concerned, is the opportunity not only to share my life with others from, but also to cultivate positive, edifying relationships with other people.
What key advice would you give to a newbie blogger?
I would advise a new blogger to get “out and about” in the blogging community as much as possible. I have found that to be, by far, the best way to connect with other readers/writers!
What is the most significant blog post you've ever read?
This is a difficult question, as I have absorbed so many interesting and engaging bits from the blogging community. I couldn’t possibly narrow it down to just one!
What is the most significant blog post you've ever written?
I’m interpreting “significant” as the post that has touched the highest number of people in the most meaningful way. In that case, my post detailing my 100 pound weight loss has been the most significant. I have received an incredible amount of feedback about the inspiration and encouragement my story has provided to readers in many different areas of life, not simply those struggling with health issues!
