My Writing Process

1. What am I working on?

I'm working on a few different things that include some sponsored products reviews, inspirational thoughts, and crocheting projects. I have so many things I can't wait to share with you all!

2. How does my work differ from others of its genre?

Well, even though most blogs I come across are beauty related, mine fits in the beauty and more category (thus my blogs name), because I wanted to talk about all the things I'm interested in. I figured that by adding the "and more by Pilar" part in my blogs name would let my audience know you can expect to read a variety of subjects. I also try to be honest especially when I write reviews. Whether I'm sent items to review or I purchase items with my own money I give an honest review.


3. Why do I write what I do?

Blogging is just like keeping a journal. I look at it as sharing my thoughts with others and the audience gets to know the author behind the blog.
When it comes to beauty, I like to write about makeup and other cosmetics. I know some people think it's superficial, but I look at makeup as a way to enhance beauty, and a means of artwork.

4. How does your writing process work?

I keep a journal and spiral notebook incase I'm not at the company and I jot down my ideas. I wrote a post about this last year :) I take photos of my items first so that way I won't forget to leave anything out when I write my posts. Lately I've gotten better with keeping to a posting schedule. So I'm really happy about that!



The Secrets of Blogging

1. When did you start blogging and why?

My blog first anniversary was actually last month July 27. I wanted to share my thoughts on various subjects and interact with people who share my same interests.

2. How many people in "real life" know about your blog?

My mom, my two besties, and companies that sponsor my blog. I don't really keep it a secret, I just haven't told many people.

3. What are your favorite posts to read?

Inspirational posts, beauty reviews, and arts and crafts. These are a few of my interests and I like to read these kinds of posts.

4. List a blog you have discovered recently.

I need to check out more blogs. I've been working on some posts and other things, so I haven't had much time to discover new blogs. I will soon though!

5. Which posts are you most proud?

I would have to say my inspirational posts! I like all the topics I discuss on my blog, but I feel everyone can benefit from words of encouragement etc.

6. What advice would you give to future bloggers?

Don't worry about numbers of followers you have and be yourself. Blogging should be something you truly enjoy, not a number game etc. It doesn't matter about numbers. You should always be yourself whether it's on social media or in real life in general.
