My Blog Story So Far…

I’ve mentioned it before in previous posts and I will mention it again. I’ve been writing stories since I was 6 years old. I won an award for a story I wrote in first grade. Since then, I’ve enjoyed writing stories and poetry. I don’t really write poetry anymore. I like writing about current events, other people’s stories and whatever is on my mind. I took a five-year break from writing in 2010. My friend Ryan asked if I would help him write in his blog and e-zine and I said yes! I then decided to start my own blog. I’ve worked as a reporter and freelance writer for many years throughout my life. I plan on writing fiction books and stories in the future. I am also looking for freelance writing opportunities.

Some advice…

Be yourself whenever you are writing. You might think it sounds ridiculous or weird but I can guarantee someone out there will like it. Don’t be afraid of rejection either. Keep writing during good or bad times! Writing will always be there for you. I consider writing my true friend and passion. People have come and gone from my life but writing will never leave me or my soul. I will continue to be loyal to it.

My Nominations…

It is so hard to choose just 15 blogs from an endless list of talented, funny, special writers on this platform! But I have chosen this 15, this time round… If you are not one to accept awards, that is not a problem, just think of this as a little nudge from me to you and all my Peeps, to read, follow, and recognize you too, as I have! No Pressure to Perform! Honest!
