  7. First, I want to say thank you for nominating my blog, for this award.
    1. My inspiration for starting my blog, was to talk about issues, that need to be addressed. That is why I call it the truth blog. But I do a variation of different topics to keep it fresh. Most every topic I talk about is my idea, unless stated in that piece, I am writing for that day.
    2. Sometimes I have writers block, and that can be the worst thing to have. I have no idea what to write about, But what I do is, if I see something that inspires me, then I talk about it on my blog. I also came up with an idea, well actually someone gave me an idea, to do videos on my blog. I have a lot of people who are inspired by my blog and I am blessed to have all these people who love my blog. Thank you everyone.
    3. If I was to travel through time, I would love to go back to where everything was good. You may have to work hard, but at least back then we don’t have to deal with what we are dealing with today. I know that may sound crazy.
    4. I prefer Chocolate sometimes, and sweets sometimes. It depends on my mood.
    5. I love to read, but I also started writing a book to, along with my blog. I also have 3 poems published in books, which are sold on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
    6. I always wanted to do children’s books or non fiction/ fiction books.
    7. I love Nora Roberts Books, she is great. Her books also play on TV on Lifetime movie network to.
    8. I would buy a book, that would help me make myself a better person. Because I didn’t have someone to teach things when I was younger, so there are things I could learn to make myself better.
    9. I prefer to write at night, because usually there is less noise at night.
    10. If you ever heard about the this lady Tracy Frank, who opened a 360 acre farm to animals, I would love to be like her. But I would also do it for children to. So, I would love to protect the children, animals and the environment. That is my goal someday.
    11. I love to read printed books, because I love pictures, but e-books are good because I have e-books from J.R.R Tolkien and more and when I listen to them, you actually feel like you are in the story.
    I hope this isn’t to long for everyone

    1. Thank you so much for taking the time out to answer my questions. It’s fantastic to hear about you and how caring you are. I don’t think you answers are too long at all. I love animals and think that is a superb idea. Protecting children is wonderful too, as is the environment. I know what you mean about go back to when everything was good, I do a day job and the pay is not great for meeting todays’ living costs, never mind about anything else.
