Bookloving writer

I found this on Themis Athena's Garden of Books and I wish I'd found it earlier in the evening. I was just too tired to do it then and unfortunately after that I forgot about it. Still, I want to do it now, even if I'm very late. Better late than never, I guess.
 

How long have you been a blogger?

I can't remember anymore. Probably over ten years now.
 
At what point do you think you'll stop?

Who knows? At the moment I'm not planning on stopping any time soon.

What's the best thing?

It's a way to express myself, quite simply. And it's fun!

What's the worst thing?  What do you do to make it ok?

Feeling guilty about not posting as often as I'd like. Trying to post more often will help, obviously, but only if I have something to say. Posting nonsense won't help.

How long does it take you to create/find pictures to use?

Usually not very long. Wikipedia is my friend... :)

Who is your book crush?

As in book character? Author? The actual book? Interesting question. Character? Conrad in Conrad's Fate. Author? It depends. Relatively recently I've had contact with several different authors and fortunately, all were very nice. But crushing on them? No, not really. As for books - I'm pretty crazy about Anthea Sharp's Feyland series and I'm now looking forward to reading her Feyguard series set in the same universe.

What author would you like to have on your blog?

Pretty much anyone I like and admire.

What do you wear when you write your blog posts?

What I always wear around the house, sweatpants and jacket usually with a stretch top underneath.

How long does it take you to prepare?


Not as long as it should, but I usually write on the spur of the moment.

How do you feel about the book blogger community/culture?

It's generally very nice but I don't feel that I have really come to know most of the people, unfortunately. Like in real life... Of course this is real too.

What do you think one should do to get a successful blog?

Write posts you are passionate about and to post regularly. Also, be nice to your potential commenters. I always thank them for commenting and usually comment back.
