Delve Into Me: A Close Look At the Bloggers You Love (009)

This lovely interview stars O Williams from the wonderful blog, Life As A Young Lady! Keep reading to learn more about her. :)

Please introduce yourself, and tell us a little bit more about you and your blog.

I'm Olivia a.k.a O Williams, one of those horrible people who's overly obsessed with Netflix, music, and sleep--a combination which usually doesn't work right. My blog consists of lengthy life rants, confusing fangirl posts, and me forcing my music taste on you.

When did you start your blogging journey and why?

I started blogging August 2013 for a school assignment--I originally had a blog on Wordpress which was terrible, but decided to switch to Blogger as more bloggers my age were there and I felt more freedom using that program rather than Wordpress. So here I am! *crickets*

What's the most challenging aspect of blogging for you?

Being consistent. I'm not a particularly busy person; I just procrastinate a lot and end up spacing my posts out for days, even weeks. It's frustrating for me and my followers.

Do you have any blogging rituals (like following a strict schedule or making sure to procrastinate by going on Pinterest first, etc.)?

Not really--I mostly just write a post when an idea pops in my head, and I wait a day or two to tweak it before posting.

What's your number one blogging tip?

Okay so probably every other blogger in the history of blogging says this, but I'm gonna dig up that dead horse and beat it some more: BE. YOUR. SELF. Guys it looks soooo bad when you fake your personality and interests, and yes, people can read "fake" through blog posts. Please please please be yourself; if everyone doesn't like you, that's okay, not everyone is supposed to like you. As long as you've got loyal followers who like you and your blog, that's all that matters.

Besides blogging, what other hobbies to you enjoy participating in? Which are you most passionate about?

My hobbies include napping, binge-watching Netflix, eating, peeping other blogs, somehow spending hours on Pinterest, watching LoveFromLiyax and CinemaSins, and, very occasionally, writing. I think I'm most passionate about sleeping--it's the one thing I think most about even when I'm doing my other "hobbies".

(Due to the title of my blog, I feel like I should ask:) Do you feel like you know yourself?

I think I do. I definitely don't know everything about myself--no one does, especially a mere 14-year-old. But I think I'm learning myself, and God teaches me more every day--sometimes good, sometimes bad.

May I ask for your [honest] opinion?

via Alrighty. I recently just completed my one hundredth blog design order [insert celebratory balloons, glitter cannons, and thrown pies here]. ;} And I was talking to my mother about this in the car, to and from the store. Basically, what she said was; "You've been doing your designs for a long time, right? So why don't you start charging for your services?" This got me thinking, and in my eyes, I feel as though charging for my designs would probably make me feel like I'm getting cocky, and too proud of my work, yah know? But I wanted to ask you guys, my honest readers; do YOU think my services are worth spending money on? Like seriously. If you wanted a new design would you choose me, even if it cost you ten dollars? I know most of it is just a matter of opinion. Every designer has their own way of doing things. Their own unique style. It all depends on what the "order-er" wants. I'd like to know if I have the capabilities of giving s...

Clothes Don't Apply--In The Summer

via | enjoy this random photo of the ocean. No, it's not that kind of post. But I sure bet the post title caught your eye. ;) Ahh. Summer. It is here my friends (or it was...now everything is just cold and wet -.-). And as it rolls in--knocking Spring to the side--so does the heat. And thus my wardrobe drastically changes from sweatshirts and leggings to large (borrowed) shirts and shorts. It's also time to pull out the razor and shave away my still attached winter coat. -.- ^ something cute I wish I could wear. ^ *cough* Anyways. Summer. Lots of heat but also, lots of free time. My mother has decided my summer project is to learn how to drive. (Oh...yay... *sobbing consists in background*) And I hope to hang out with Kenz. But we'll see how June 6th goes. Also, I'm planning on getting lots of writing done, AND looking into (advanced) CSS and HTML for Blogger. AAAAAND I will hopefully take a writing class over the course of a few weeks. Maybe . I don...

"Look," she breathed, studying the sky. " Oh , look... Do you see it?" He looked down at her, his eyes twinkling like the many stars above. "Yes..." "Isn't it beautiful?" "Yes...yes it is..." She looked back at him, meeting his gaze. They were both thinking the same thing, and they were both scared of it. She ducked her head as his eyes moved away, focusing on the ground and the stars and the distance between them. + + + Oh, the fragile doubts of these teenage souls. Why is it that they fear each other? Why is it that they must disregard their feelings? Their emotions? All I can say is; be brave. Take a leap of faith. Because there is a chance it will work out.
