My story

My story would be very brief because all you need to know is here .
I have always loved reading and I wanted to be heard too, however, I kept putting it off for later and then, I decided enough was enough. I had to get past thinking about what other people would think of my writing. I had to let go of the fear of the unknown and accept that failure is not the end but the push I need to try again. My greatest motivation is lending a voice to touch lives in my own little way.

My Advice to new Bloggers

START NOW.
I say to you, if blogging is what you want to do get on with it.
There is no perfect time to start; the right time to start blogging is now. You have read a lot about how to start a blog, now go start one. Do not let fear limit you, don’t wait any longer. Make up your mind on what you want to write about and write. You would notice what works and what doesn’t as you go on.

HOLD ON
When you hit publish and the likes don’t come pouring in don’t give up. keep at it. Visit other blogs, see what they are doing differently; make your visit felt, leave some likes and comments on blogs. More likely than not most bloggers would reciprocate.It’s a great community out here.

and my nominees are,in no particular order…
