The Tribute To Writers Tag

(This image was created by Rose)

Rose @ Truly. Madly. Deeply. was tagged, and said that whoever would like to do the tag may. So, guess who wanted to?

RULES:

1. Answer all the questions.
2. Say what you love about writing (if you don't like writing, then there's no need for you to do this tag).
3. Share one piece of your writing.
4. Nominate 3 other writers/bloggers and make up 5 new questions for them to answer.
5. Have fun!

Rose's questions:

Is writing your passion, or a hobby?
It is most definitely my passion. It has been since I was five years of age.

Do you set daily goals for yourself? (such as writing 1,000 words a day?)
No, I don't. I write whenever I get the sudden urge to. (as I talked about in my last post) I love it when I get those urges.

Do you like reading books or writing them?
If I'm being very honest, I just can't choose. I would like to say writing them, but I can't say that truthfully...it's a very hard decision.

Have any helpful writing tips for your readers?
One: Just keep writing no matter what. You will probably go through stages where you feel discouraged and you don't want to go on. I've been through those stages. But the best thing to do is not give up.
Two: Write about what you know. Feel your writing for yourself.

What's your favorite word?
Hmm...I think it depends whether we're going by sound, meaning or spelling. For sound: probably flawless. For meaning: probably laughter. For spelling: probably flamingo. (that counts, right?)

I loved her questions. ♥

WHY I LIKE WRITING:

It just takes me away. I am so indescribably and blissfully happy when I am writing. I feel like everything bad...everything I don't want to think about just vanishes.
Another thing is how creative I can be. I can write anything, anything I want. And there are so many words in this world with amazing meanings. I love putting them together and seeing the result. It's like chemistry, I guess.

A PIECE OF MY WRITING:

Every human is like a puzzle. Every piece counts, whether it be a fault or a quality, a good or bad memory, a smile or a tear, a hello or a goodbye. It adds to the picture and builds us up to who we are meant to be and will be in the end.

I TAG:

I'm going to take a page out of Rose's book and say- anyone who wants to do this tag.

THE QUESTIONS:

1. What genre of writing do you enjoy most?
2. How important is writing to you?
3. Do you have a favorite author? Who?
4. Do you prefer to write or to read?
5. What is your favorite quote? (This question is optional, since I know it is oh so hard to choose)

I really enjoyed this...thank you Rose, for tagging me. :) 

Warm Hugs Tag

Hey there.
I promised to do a post that has nothing to do with a writing challenge...and...here it is.
I was tagged by both Kayla, Madeline and Lauren (ohmygoodness you all have lovely names). Thank you SO much, girls, you are all amazing...I'll be answering all of your sets of questions, so, yep, I have a lot and I need to get answering.

Rules:

❅ Follow the blog(s) that tagged you (optional)

❅ Post two or more pics that include your fave characters, books, movies or lyrics from songs (they can also be your own edits and pictures

❅ Tag five or more bloggers and tell them

❅ Answer the ten questions the blogger that nominated you has written, related to books, characters, etc.

❅ Create your own questions having to do with the same thing

Pics: (specially picked out from a personal point of view by yours truly)

Ever since I read that book... Divergent fan all the way... :) I still haven't watched the movie yet, though, and I can't wait to. And Tris is one of my all time favorite characters from a book. So, yeah, those are the two photos concerning movies, books, and characters...now one for lyrics from a song...

I love that song. The rhythm, her voice...I could just listen to it all day. #lovely

My fave Disney movie...

And another Disney movie that I'm warming up to. (catch my drift?)

Wait. Wait...one more...(not concerning princesses, though Katniss could probably be a pretty good one)

I ♥ these two in The Hunger Games movies + I ♥ reading The Hunger Games Trilogy books...

And don't get me started on The Fault In our Stars. I've added enough pics. But I will say...I'm a fan of that, too.

That's all.
Was it too much? (all pics via Pinterest or Google search, none my own, I take no credit)

Moving on. (heads up, this is going to be a long post)

Madeline's questions:

Favorite Disney quote?
answer: Hmm...I don't know many...so, I can't give an answer. Sorry. 

Favorite fictional characters?
answer: Tris, Tobias, Augustus Waters, Katniss, Peeta.

If you could party with one fictional character, who would you want to party with?
answer: Um...let's see...need someone who is funny, energetic and slightly witty for a party...I'm gonna go with Uriah from Divergent. I think.
Favorite Disney princess movie?
answer: Tangled.
Would you rather spend a day with your favorite fictional character in their world or have an unlimited amount of money to spend on books for the rest of your life? (hehe evil >:) )
answer: That is evil, Maddie. :P But, I'm able to answer. I would like to have an unlimited amount of money to spend on books for the rest of my life - gives me more happiness for longer, the other would (obviously) be over in a day.
Have you ever been to Disney Land? If you have, how many times?
answer: Nope, never. You see, I live in South Africa. No Disneyland here.
What song describes you the most?
answer: I'm afraid I can't answer.
Which character death made you the most sad?
answer: Tris or Augustus. :'( Quite hard to choose...
Which fictional character can you relate to the most? 
answer: I can relate to a few, but only slightly...I guess books aren't written about people like me that often. Anyways, I won't be able to answer this question, either.
What is your favorite message in a Disney movie and why?
answer: I kind of like the message in Frozen - love will thaw a frozen heart...why? Because it's true that if you show enough love, you can change someone's heart.

Kayla's questions:

Favorite movie series?

answer: I haven't watched too many, actually. But...there's a really old series called the A-Team...you might have watched the new movie...but that is my fave series.
Favorite Disney princess?
answer: Anna. ♥

Favorite Disney song?
answer: Let It Go.
Frozen or Tangled?
answer: Tangled.
M&M's or kisses?
answer: M&M's.
Fact about yourself?
answer: I don't like coffee.
Favorite book character?
answer: Tris.
Favorite singer/band?
answer: Taylor Swift.
Favorite quote?
answer: Impossible to choose. #ilovequotestoomuch
Favorite season and why?
answer: I think that my favorite season is Autumn, because of the way everything feels fresh, and because the temperature seems just right.

Lauren's questions:

What is your favorite Disney film?
answer: Tangled.

If you could spend a full day with any fictional character, who would it be?

answer: Tris Prior  or Tobias Eaton or even Peter Hayes. (why Peter? Dunno. Don't be shocked. I just think I'd like to learn more about him. Hopefully he doesn't stick a butter knife in my eye) Actually, you know what, on second thought, definitely Peeta Mellark.

If you could go to Hogwarts, or a school with five of your favorite fictional characters in your class, who would you choose?

answer: Because I'm homeschooled I'm let off this one, right? ;)

If you had to marry a fictional character and spend the rest of your life with them, who would you choose?
answer: OK, then. This is tough. Peeta Mellark...maybe...
If you had to live in a book for the rest of your life (with the characters, and in the place they life, etc.), which book would it be?
answer: OK, here's one where I can't (won't) choose Divergent. And...I don't have an answer.
What is your favorite Disney song?

answer: Let It Go.
Favorite fictional characters?
answer: I'm sure I answered this one and the one above before already. But, doesn't matter... Tris, Tobias, Augustus Waters, Katniss, Peeta.

Favorite fictional authors?
answer: Suzanne Collins and Veronica Roth.

Which song describes you most?

answer: I can't answer.

Now, my questions... Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to choose ten questions out of the ones I answered above - my favorite ones, or the most creative ones. And then just one bonus question for Divergent fans.

1. Favorite Disney princess?
2. Favorite fictional characters?
3. What is your favorite Disney movie?
4. Favorite singer/band?
5. Fact about yourself?
6. If you had to marry a fictional character and spend the rest of your life with them, who would you choose? (gave this one cos it's hard)
7. If you had to live in a book for the rest of your life, which book would it be?
8. What is your favorite song(s)? (OK, that one isn't recycled, just one I wanted to ask)
9. Favorite book character?

10. What is your favorite message in a Disney movie and why?

Bonus question for Divergent fans:
Who would you like to live instead of die most out of the characters Veronica Roth killed in Divergent? (I gave you an evil question, like Madeline did me...)

I nominate:

Nyah
Morning
Grace
Cindy
Rachel

and...anyone who comments Tris Prior. (for fun, for the people who want to do the tag but weren't nominated)

I'm done. Thanks for reading. ♥
PS: When I hit 70 followers (yay, I've got 66!), I'll host a writing challenge/contest.

Sunshine Award

this is my sunshine award image that I just felt like making (image my own). feel free to use it if you're nominated

this is the sunshine award image I got off Brooke's blog 

The lovely Brooke nominated me on her lovely blog for the Sunshine Award...thank you so much, Brooke!
First thing first, the rules:
→Thank the person who nominated you and link to their blog.
→Answer the questions they asked you.
→Nominate other bloggers.
→Give them a list of questions.
→Let them know that they have been nominated.
→The Sunshine Award button must be on your blog post.

Brooke's questions:
Who do you most admire in life? Uh...I admire Jesus the most. He works in mysterious, wonderful ways in my life and I admire Him extremely for not only that...I mean, c'mon, He died for me.
If you could do one thing your whole life what would you do? I would probably like to write poetry. (valid answer?)
If you were a chair, who would you let sit on you? OK, then. Now that's a question you aren't asked everyday. Well, I guess I wouldn't mind letting my little brother sit on me. He does all the time anyway.
If you could listen to one song your whole life, what would it be? I like this question. :) It would either be "Hey Stephen" by Taylor Swift or (this song is going to be one you probably haven't heard of, but I love it) "Sugar Beauty" by Amber Hunter...click HERE to listen to Sugar Beauty. I'm sure you'll love it.
What is something no one really knows about you? Another tough one. Hmm...most people don't really know that I'm actually not so shy? I'm just quite quiet often.
Are you an obsessed fan [of anything] or dedicated? Well, let's see. I'm a swiftie, I love marvel, (especially concerning Ironman, Captain America, or Spiderman), I'm a big fan of the Divergent trilogy and can't wait for the movie. That's more than one thing, sorry. But there is more. Nah, won't bother you with it.
If you had to be locked in a room with one person for 24 hours, who would it be? Hmm...one of my sisters, maybe...I dunno - that's the third tough question I've stumbled across in these series of questions. ;)
Who would you like to accidentally call you? OK. You got me...because this is the first question I can't answer. Not that I don't want to...just...can't find the right answer.
Are you a night owl or an early bird? Night owl.
If you had one wish, what would you wish for? [besides more wishes!] I think I'd wish that all people were blind to looks, and the thing that mattered in our society today was not beauty, but personality. It would take a lot of stress off a lot of people, including me.
I think I'd wish for that. But it's pretty hard to rack your brain for what you truly, really would want above all.

So, that's Brooke's questions done. These are my questions:
→If you had to choose one smell to be the only smell you smelt for the rest of your life, what smell would it be? [that was a bit of a weird question, but try saying it five times fast. OK. guess it's not that hard...]
→What's your favorite quote? [stolen question]
→What blog do you find the most inspiring out of the blogs you visit? [it would be nice if you linked to it]
→What is a life dream of yours?
→How old were you when you started your blog?
→Would you prefer a trip to the beach for the day or an overnight camping trip?
→Choose one place you'd like to visit above all other places in the world. [doesn't have to be a country, it can be a particular place, or a shop even, if you like] What is it?
→Do you prefer asking questions or answering questions?
→Strawberry pattern or watermelon pattern?
→Fiction or non-fiction?
→Which question out of all the ones I've asked did you enjoy the most?

Done!
No, wait, I have to appoint my nominees. ♥
Rachelle: at Beloved Bluebird [cos - I love your blog girl]
Rose: at Truly. Madly. Deeply. [both the author and the blog from Truly. Madly. Deeply. are amazing. Rose is a helpful, fantastic girl]
Aaliyah at Growing In His Image [you're so lovely, Aaliyah]

and...as Brooke said on her blog...anyone else who wants to do this award.
Thanks for reading this. ♥♥♥

PS: I asked my readers if I should continue doing awards. Most of them said that they liked awards, because they got to know more about other bloggers. So I've decided to do some awards, just when I feel like it and I've got nothing else to post, you know? Hope you learnt more about me in this post, and that it wasn't way to long and boring... xxx
