Question & Answer with Project Castaway

MeMe and my friend Meg from Project Castaway wanted to do a bit of a collaboration (of sorts anyway), so we came up with the idea to do question and answers with each other. I previously did a Q and A with Vengeance writer Roger A. Price and I thought continuing the theme would be a cool idea and Meg wanted to start doing more Q and A's on her blog as well so it was a good way for her to introduce it! We both hope you'll learn a little bit more about us through these mini question and answer's!

Q: So Meg, what is your blog about? 

A: I blog mainly about reviews on TV shows, films and musicals/plays. I blog my adventures that I have been on and now and again I blog about something I'm feeling at the time whether that'll be advice, food or a topic of interest. 

Q: Why do you enjoy blogging?


A: I enjoy it because I find that it is a great way for me to express myself and to say my opinions. It also helps me to relax at the end of the day.


Q: Why did you decided to call your blog Project Castaway?


A: It's not a very interesting story but at first I saw some blog names that had project in it and as my blog is a project for me I wanted to use that in the name. Then I was looking around in my bed room and found my game called Sim Castaway and came up with Project Castaway. Not very inventive I know, but I like it. 


Q: What type of blog post do you enjoy writing the most? 


A: I mainly like writing reviews on things and my adventures the most. I think that's why I do them more than other posts. I find it really interesting to look back on what I have put. 


Q: What have you got lined up for the future of your blog?

A: I'm wanting to start collaborating with people more. So I think that'll be the next step for my blog really.


Q: Is there any genre of blog posts you'd like to try out? 


A: I would love to try out more food posts as I haven't done much and I want to see what I can do with it. 


Q: When did your start your blog?


A: I start on the 3rd January 2015. So this is my 3rd year of blogging. 


Q: What do you find the most challenging about blogging? 


A: How to word things, sometimes it's tricky because you want to come across a certain way but you're not quite sure how to do that.


Q: What's one thing you wished you'd known before you started blogging? 


A: How to advertise my blog properly. I'm still learning how to do that really. I think it's a great way of connecting with other bloggers and it's such a tricky thing that I don't think has been explained properly. 


Q: Have you been to any blogging events? If not would you like to go to one?


A: I haven't, but I would love to go to one. I just can't seem to find any local ones.


I hope you've enjoyed this blog post as much as me and Meg enjoyed creating them. If you want to read my answers to Meg's questions then click here!

The About Me Tag

My bestfriend Meg from the blog http://projectcastaway.blogspot.co.uk/ tagged me in the About Me tag - this is a little bit different from my normal posts but I'm excited for you guys to get to know me a little bit better!

Q: Whats your Middle Name? 
A: My middle name is Marie
Q: What was your favourite subject at school? 
A: Whilst I was doing GCSE Drama and Maths were probably my favourite subjects to learn, however I think enjoyed my music and English classes more because we always had a lot of fun. But for my A Levels I think Media was probably my favourite subject - I was with one of my good friends, had a good teacher and I really enjoyed learning about the subject. 
Q: What is your favourite drink?
A: Probably Chocolate Milkshake or Coke - I absolutely adore chocolate milkshake I always love trying different ones in different places and coke is kind of my go-to drink when i'm out for a meal. 
Q: What is your favourite song at the moment?
A: This is a hard one for me - I'm listening to a lot of different artists at the moment but I think it's gotta be either The Energy Never Dies by The Script or Over and Over Again by Nathan Sykes.
Q: What is your favourite food?
A: Margarita Pizza is probably my go to food. But my mums homemade Slow Pulled Pork Burger is also REALLY good. 
Q: What was the last thing that your brought?
A: This is really boring - but I promise I also bought a really nice skirt in H&M just before - but it was a plain white long sleeved top from Primark. 
Q: What is your favourite book of all time?
A: This is such a stereotype but it has to be The Fault In Our Stars or The Maze Runner Series (I can't decide) 
Q: What is your favourite colour?
A: Blue has been my favourite colour since I was little (the colour of Cinderella's dress) 
Q: Do you have any pets?
A: No, unfortunately not - I use to have a goldfish and although it lived for a good 7/8 years it died a few years ago - sad times. 
Q: What was your favourite holiday?
A: I have a few as I've been on holiday every summer since I can remember so it's impossible to narrow it down. One of my favourite's, that was hard to top for a long time, is when I went to Spain with my whole extended family. However, since I've been to Appledore in Devon and Solva in Wales, which were the prettiest little towns, I've been unable to decide on my favourite. 
Q: Are you married?
A: No, but I would like to be one day if I meet the right person. 
Q: Have you ever been out of the country, if so how many times?
A: Yes I have, but only a few times - I've been to France twice and Spain once. 
Q: Do you speak any other languages?
A: Well I did French in years 6 to 9 but I gave that up at GCSE as I didn't really enjoy it - so no. 
Q: How many siblings do you have?
A: I have two older sisters - Emma and Katie.  
Q: What is your favourite shop?
A: I absolutely adore two crafts shops we have in my town - Cheltenham Collective and Sugar Loaf. But if i'm talking mainstream shops then Vinegar Hill, WHSmiths (I love the book section) and H&M 
Q: What is your favourite restaurant?
A: This is probably either Nandos or Boston Tea Party - I love going to both, however, I tend to go to Nandos with my friends, where as Boston Tea Party I normally eat at with my family, they do a big variety of food from burgers, to toasted sandwiches to pancakes, so its it's good for an unexpected meal out as there is a lot of variety and it isn't too expensive. Another restaurant I love from when I went on holiday to The Mumbles in Wales, I absolutely adored Verdi's which was an italian restaurant that did everything from morning coffee to ice cream to evening meals - so check it out if you're in the Swansea area. 
Q: What is your favourite movie?
A: Probably the first two The Maze Runner movies, War Horse or Now you see me. 
Q: What is your favourite TV show?
A: My favourite TV show is Teen Wolf - I've watched the first season about 4 times now and it's always kept my interest and attention. 
Q: Do you prefer PC or Mac?
A: Since my sister purchased a mac a few years ago - I have say I now prefer using that to my normal PC whenever I get the chance. 
Q: What phone do you have?
A: I have an iPhone 5s
Q: Can you cook? 
A: Well as I'm going to Uni next year, my mum has been teaching me how to cook different homemade meals, so I suppose so? 

I hope you guys enjoyed learning a little bit more about me, why not give the About Me tag a go, it's surprising how much thinking you have to do to discover what your favourite song, book, movie and TV show is.
