An officemate.

4. About how many hours a week would you estimate you spend on your blog?
About 5 hours a day during weekdays, 3 hours on weekends. That’s spent surfing, coming up with topics, and writing. If I had a Bluetooth headset it would be easier and faster for me to update when out of the house.

Aside from just loving writing and keeping diaries since I was 8, none.

I need to read a lot – a full brain is a treasure for blog topics.

I just blog to share stuff.

8. Where and/or how do your brainstorming for your blog?
Surfing other blogs, spotting trends.

Do not write stuff that you don’t want your kids to read when they are 20. Once on the net, it will always be there FOREVER.

Personal problems.

11. Do you have any sort of a publishing schedule in terms of day of week or topic?
Yes, I am organized that way.

No dates aside from the husband and somebody. A friend though had this nightmare date with someone who would not stop sharing his rheumatoid arthritis stories!
