Hello, how are you today? I am doing just fine, if sitting next to a computer as early as eight in the morning sounds okay. I was nominated by MCreen (visit his blog: Mcreen’s Galaxy) for the Christmas gift of the Liebster Award.

What’s The Liebster Award all about?

The Liebster Award is a blogger award for new bloggers, those with few followers, who are still getting the hang of this dynamic industry. It is a fantastic way of giving exposure, recognition, and motivation to these talented newbies so as to keep their blogging fire blazing!

Rules of the Liebster Award

1. Create a new blog with the graphical image of the Liebster Award as the one above.
2. Thank the blogger who nominated you while also providing a link to their blog.
3. Answer the Questions you had received from your Nominator(s).
4. Nominate 10 bloggers and share your blog post with them so that they can accept their awards.
5. Create a set of questions for your Nominees to Answer.

Let’s do this!

1. What Sparked You To Start Blogging?

I don’t know if you would call it a spark, but I have been keeping a journal since I was twelve and a blog gave me a fresh insight into sharing my life experiences. My first blog still exists: Jodie and that’s because those are the kind of experiences I’d not want to forget.

2. What Do You Intend To Achieve With Blogging?

I intend to reach out to new audiences and by being on WordPress I see that happening everyday.

3. Why Do You Have an ‘On’ and ‘Off’ Blogging Pattern? What ticks you off at times?

I write when I’ve got something to write about and when I don’t, I scroll through my reader and read what others have to blog about. However, when I am immersed in writing a book, it’s often difficult for me to post anything on the blog.

4. Aside From Blogging, What Other Things Are You Passionate About?

• Reading books (Nilichosoma)
• Writing. I am currently working on two manuscripts that I look forward to publishing in 2018.
• Cooking. If it involves cooking oil, then sign me up!
• Traveling

5. What’s Your Vision 2018 Concerning Blogging?

I’d love to reach out more to the Kenyan audience and set up a shop/store so my Kenyan friends and their circle of friends can buy and read my books.

I’d love to know more from the awesome people behind these blogs:

• Lamusicjunkie
• A scripted maze
• Lessons in love and war
• A Voice from Iran
• My bucket full of love
• Boyojosh
• KDScribbles
• The Withering blog
• Amaefuleprecious
• Elly in Nairobi

My questions are:

1. What would you say has been the highlight of your blogging experience this year?
2. If you could pick a theme to blog about, any theme that scares you or you know very little about, what would it be and why?
3. What’s the best and the worst part of being called a blogger?

Let’s spread the love, type away and have a merry Christmas!
