THIRTEEN YEARS IN BLOG

It has been thirteen years since I have been writing a blog. How fast time has elapsed. When I look back, it gives me a beautiful smile. With a joke, I started a blog and didn’t expect I could go this long. There is an interesting fact about the blog. I have already mentioned how I started a blog.

In 2010, I was in the final year of my Bachelor's Degree. I was preparing for the final exam but there was Nepal Banda for almost a month.  Furthermore, Facebook was a popular social site and when I was scrolling through Facebook, I saw one of my good friends, sharing the link which was her blog link and I clicked the link. Then, I started reading her blog. I liked her blog and with her influence, I opened my account on the blog and started writing a blog. In the beginning, I was not serious about writing the blog but with time,  I continue writing. My focus was on the story stories but later I started writing on different topics and issues. Furthermore, I started adding different labels. In the beginning, I had only short stories but now I have different labels and categories which are :

•          Articles
•          Audio Novel
•          Blog Anniversary
•          Book Review  (English Books)

     To be honest, at one time, I wanted to stop writing. I felt I have written too much and thought there could be repetition in the blog. I was like feeling bored and I shared this with my few friends that I wanted to close the blog but they suggested not to close and not to stop writing. It will help me to grow. So, at the request of my friends, I didn’t close or deleted the blog. Although I haven’t deactivated the blog, I do write less. I started going for quality. In the beginning, I used to post plenty of write-ups and stories. Later, I deleted most of the posts because they weren’t good enough for me. As a reader, I didn’t like it. So, nowadays I do write less but effectively on. I do not rush to post on the blog. Furthermore, I didn’t have good writing but the blog helped to some extent. When I see my few early posts, I had a bad writing style but with good feedback and comments that have been improvised. I am grateful who had truly given feedback and comments. That means a lot. I will not write too much but I don’t stop writing.
