Why I Can't Stop Teaching Music

I remember the first time a couple approached me about teaching their daughters music. One wanted to play piano and the other, the violin. I was fifteen at the time, a total novice myself, and up for the challenge.

I was nominated by the lovely Olivia from Studio Liv to participate in the Liebster Blogger Award! For those who don't know, this award is a fun way to interact with other bloggers, explore new sites, and meet new friends.

The Rules
  1. Thank the blogger who nominated you.
  2. Display your award.
  3. Answer the questions you were asked. 
  4. Nominate 5 other bloggers.
  5. Ask 6 new questions. 
  6. Let our nominees know they were nominated and give them a link to your post.

My Questions from Olivia

1. What inspired you to start blogging?
When I began, it was a way to share my love of stories and writing with friends and family. Not a whole lot has changed, yet I realize now that my sole inspiration for blogging is simply to encourage others. I want them to walk away from my blog, devotions, or mini newsletters refreshed and inspired!

2. What is your favorite instrument to listen to?
I love listening to any of the instruments that I play... haha! Piano and violin are a couple of my favorites. However, I have always loved listening to the harp and I would love to learn to play it someday. 

3. What is your favorite sport to watch?
I never watch sports!! I'm always playing them. Haha! Volleyball is my favorite. ;)

4. What is your favorite season and why?
Spring or Fall. Why? Because I love the smell of change that fills the air. Both seasons are incredibly fresh and promising. 

5. What is your favorite flower?
Right now, wildflowers, especially prairie roses. They are so delicate and such lovely surprises - like a little smile from God tucked inside the grasslands of North Dakota. On a more formal note - you can never go wrong with roses!

6. If you could have any animal as a pet what would it be an why?
Hmmm... the only answer I could come up with for this is a horse. And I have one. Five actually. They are such powerful yet graceful animals, and they make wonderful friends. ;) Training and riding our horses is always an adventure and they teach me something new every day.​

What resources would you recommend for writing to a 14 year old girl?

Hey Lilly! Thanks so much for your comments!!
Resources for a young writer... For starters, definitely check out Story Embers, and HelpingWritersBecomeAuthors.com. Both websites are super helpful when it comes to story craft and learning to write effectively. There are a few books I could recommend as well - what do you write?

I write fiction and I eventually want to write for The Rebelution. I will definitely check out those websites.

Oh yes! I don't know if you will see this or not - lol - but another great blog to follow would be Julia Nelson's. She is a regular contributor to TheReb and writes fantastic articles for young writers!
