Why do you blog?
I first started my “love to read love to write” blog at the suggestion of a writing college.
Knowing I my wish to eventually publish my books etc. she said,” I’ll save you two years. Start a blog, and face book and twitter sites now.” So It began as a purely practical venture, knowing sooner or later (whether traditional or self publishing) I’d need to market my own stuff. However on first exploring the sites I began to see the potential of blogging for it’s own sake. (Hence my introduction – see about).
Since then I’ve become more and more interested in others blogs (how selfish to initially be just thinking of promoting myself). Now I enjoy the interaction and gleaning gems of beauty, inspiration and insight from others just as much as indulging my bent for writing. The world is a wonderful, multifaceted place, alive with different colours and hues, the blog sites reflect this. Happy blogging!

If truth be told, I was introduced to use WordPress by a dear friend when traveling in Cambodia. That friend knows how much I love writing and the way I am thinking of life and my dream to be a writer. And WordPress is a place that not only I can express myself but read and see all kinds of things from outside that I need to enrich myself. In a word, WordPress is my third home now. Welcome to my home! 🙂
