Starting this blogging journey has been so rewarding for me. I still consider myself new to blogging, so when Kat of Lemonade Linings asked me to be a part of Tour of Blogland, I was thrilled! I saw it as a great opportunity to meet new "blogging friends" as well as share some of the amazing bloggers I have met so far.

For anyone who is not familiar with Tour of Blogland, I answer a few questions about my blogging process, and then I nominate three others to do the same! Below are my answers to the questions with a short bio of the three bloggers I nominated to follow after me, so be sure to follow Hannah, Nicole, and Carli to see how their blogging process works as well!
1. What am I working on? I am working on really developing the voice and branding of my blog. I am working on a little inspiration board that will help my posts keep true to what truly inspires me. It will be a source to go to when I am stuck on coming up with content and creative for my posts. I will definitely share once complete! I have also been working on my photography and Photoshop skills, so if anyone has any tips, please feel free to comment or message them to me! Also, I am trying to find a great, affordable, first-timer camera. If anyone has any camera suggestions... please let me know!
2. How does my work differ from others in its genre? That is a really great question! I think mine is very similar to others, but at the same time, the voice is uniquely branded to me! My blog is about the things I am really passionate about and the things I personally want to share with my readers. I incorporate my own style into my fashion posts and my personal taste in flavors to my recipe posts.
3. Why do I write/create what I do? I started blogging because I always looked up to other lifestyle and fashion bloggers, and I wanted to be that source of inspiration for others - whether it is inspiration through my outfits, or a simple recipe to make for their next party.
4. How does my writing/creative process work? I have been keeping an ongoing list of things I would like to write about. I have been trying to at least write two posts a week. I know it doesn't seem like much, but I am a firm believer in quality over quantity. I try to get ahead of my posts, starting a couple days out, but it seems like often times I am up till midnight the night before I want the post to go out! A lot of times I scour through Pinterest, the Zoe Report or Refinery 29 to get some inspiration for upcoming posts. What did we ever do before Pinterest?
Now I would like to introduce you to Nicole from Class to Closet, Hannah from Sweeter than Serenity, and Carli of Puppies and Polka Dots!
I agree that every blog has a unique voice, or that they should!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you keep an ongoing list of things you want to write about. That's a department I sometimes struggle in and you might have just inspired me to continuously write things down as the pop into my head!!
ReplyDeleteAww I love this, Natalie! You are so right that we are what sets our blogs apart-- so keep on being your awesome self :) And I love how you introduced new bloggers at the end of your tour. That is so sweet! Keep up the great work, friend!
