This post was written in response to the Writer's Post Blog Hop hosted by Suzy at Someday Somewhere.
At that time I titled the new site “Giggling Trucker’s Wife” because I still was a
trucker’s wife but I showed a little of me in that title. I have the ability to giggle myself silly
about just about anything. I am a perky,
happy little thing to say the least especially since I seen the big 4-0 come
and go.
Not too long ago the name of my blog
transformed once again. I went through a
blue period much like Picasso and my writing reflected it. I no longer felt like spouting silly witticisms
off the top of my head. I wanted to
write fiction of all things and the occasional haiku and no longer thought the
name of my blog fit. So one day I added “writes”
to the title and the blog transformed to its current form. I changed the blog description since the
focus of my writing has changed to the more creative sphere which takes the
microscope off of me personally which I like much better at this point in my
life.

I like the new look, which I've already told you and the new name feels like evolution. You have evolved and grow anchor "name" simply reflects that. Nice.
ReplyDeleteJo, I am so pleased you like the new look. It is an evolution because I have evolved and grown as a person and a writer. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteWhen did you add 'writes'? i'm not terribly observant am I? If not for this post, I never would have seen it!
ReplyDeleteJoJo, I added the writes quite a while back. I obviously didn't change the URL because then you wouldn't be able to find me! LOL I think it is a bit hilarious you never noticed the difference! LMAO Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteReading this post made me realise that you're not a quitter, and adapt to changes that will suit your lifestyle. I like the attractive appearance that the blog has.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I am so happy you like it! There are times when I have to step away and take a break, then there are times when I don't have the money to keep the internet on and I drop out a bit till I get it paid. I always come back to it as soon as I can. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteGosh, I didn't notice the addition of Writes. I always think of you as a writer, so it must have slipped my attention. Your fiction stories are fabulous and I enjoy your poems and your personal stories. I am glad you are stressing our writing as it is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWinnie, I am so happy you like what I write. You have simply made my day!! Thank you so much for stopping by and being so kind! ♥
DeleteLove the evolution of your writing and hence the name of your blog.I agree, adding the writes at the end opens up the depth of your writing. Thanks for writing on my prompt.
ReplyDeleteSuzy, I agree with you. It does open it up a bit. Thank you for stopping by and for your comments. It allows me to expand and kind of tells folks "hey this story is fiction, and not about me particularly! " ♥
DeleteI always liked the name of your blog from the first time that I visited it... And I guess with every passing year as we as individuals evolve , what we feel and thinks also evolves which you showed wonderfully by the changes in your blog's name...
ReplyDeleteNabanita, you are so kind. I went through a blue period and didn't have a giggle in my writing anymore, so I decided that I needed to branch out or quit. So I branched out and added the writes. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteWell, I got drawn to your blog even before WT simply because the word 'giggling' features in the title. It has that positive tinge to the title...and then I got drawn to your haiku and your stories. They are non complex (I won't say simple!) and connect with me....I like it here...the blog oozes with warmth and positivity :)
ReplyDeletemyriadrainbowhues, I am so pleased you enjoy my writing. I am pretty straight forward and my writing pretty easy to follow. It flows when I write it and that carries over when you read it. Not sure I would know how to do it any other way. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteLove the journey you've made, Kathy! Your blog is very reflective of you - positive and creative! ♥
ReplyDeleteCorinne, I am so pleased you like it!! Thank you for stopping by, your kind comments, and your continued friendship! ♥
DeleteA title can say it all, as you go back and forth depending on state at your hall
ReplyDeletePat, boy isn't that the truth? LOL I am so pleased you stopped by. Your rhymes are so clever!! Thank you for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteLove the story behind the blog name but must admit I've never noticed the 'writes' bit...probably because the link doesn't have it! :p
ReplyDeletePsych Babbler, LOL could be! I couldn't very well change the web address so I just modified the name and description of the blog so it seemed a better fit for the writing I am posting these days. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteThat's a perfect title for you blog, Kathy! Thanks, too, for sharing how this all came about in the first place. Truthfully, I'd always been a bit curious about the "giggling" part!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Martha, you would be surprised how much I laugh and giggle. When I look around when I go anywhere, my kids and I are always laughing and bouncing along and everyone else always looks so pious and serious and severe. I am definitely an odd ball in the world! LOL Thank you so much for touching my life with your blog and for your friendship. Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteI always smile when I read your blog's name and can imagine you giggling while writing your beautiful posts. I believe the blog name is a window into the writer's soul, loved yours.
ReplyDeletesulekkha, I am so pleased you enjoy my site and it makes you smile! Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments which have in turn made me smile! ♥
DeleteHappy to find the giggling truckers wife and the stories weaved off the blog. It's a sheer delight Kathy and love the history behind the name:)
