So, my friend Sarah Lynn of Tunay Na Mahal, has this really fun meme up. I stole it. :)
Interested in the history of Rattie Corner? Here you go!
1. How long have you been blogging?
Rattie Corner started on Oct 8, 2004. (Sheesh! 5 years ago??)
2. What made you start?
I had 5 sweet rattie girls and no one to brag about their cuteness to. So I figured I'd brag to the ether. Ha!
3. Who inspired you?
Um, no one I can think of. I just kind of stumbled across the term "blogging", read up on it a bit and decided to start Rattie Corner.
4. About how many hours a week would you estimate you spend on your blog?
Oh, geez. I'm really, really bad about it. I don't update Rattie Corner much more than once or twice a month. I was much better when I had rats and more free time. I do spend a lot of time updating my business blogs. My skincare blog is updated daily.
5. What kind of experience or background do you have with writing?
Well, I have done professional writing for many years. I always enjoyed writing poetry and have been published twice. I've written several novels and short stories. One way I make my income is by my articles. It's what sucks up all that free time I used to have to update Rattie Corner.
6. Talk about how you come up with blog topics. Where do you get your ideas?
Right now my blog topics center mostly around Clikker, my German Shepherd, and any special rat news.
7. What or who inspires you and your blog?
The love of rats & German Shepherds! (And the owners of those adorable rats!)
8. Where and/or how do your brainstorming for your blog?
I don't brainstorm, even when I write professionally. I just go and write.
9. Do you have any blogging rules or guidelines you follow?
Not really. I try not stray far from rat related topics, because that's what this blog was intended to be. I have now expanded it to topics on German Shepherds.
10. Is there anything you will not blog about?
I don't blog about work or much about my personal life. You may get a peek in a picture here or there, but mostly it's rat related.
11. Do you have any sort of a publishing schedule in terms of day of week or topic?
What? Once a month isn't a schedule? Dang!
If you're inclined, feel free to copy and post to your blog. I absolutely want to read about your experiences!
