Blogger Recognition Award

I don’t have one of these yet and just yesterday I was complaining about all the wonderful posts that I have been writing which have basically gone unnoticed, so I will humbly accept this award which willowdot21 at An insight to a heart mind and soul has nominated me for.  I am supposed to do 6 things, but I will only do the first four.

1. Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
2. Write a post to show your award.
3. Give a brief story of how your blog started.
4. Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.

Thanks Willow

I started blogging after I read an article which stated that every author needs a platform to promote their books.  I published my first post on 4/23/2017 and this post is number 1930.  This time period amounts to 971 days, so I average about 1.987 posts per day.  I wrote three very long books, all of which remain unpublished.

My first tidbit of advice for new bloggers is to look for prompts and react to them.  Prompts are fun and this is a good way to get noticed.  My second thought for new bloggers is to write for your own enjoyment and not worry about not getting views, likes or comments.  If your writing is good, people will start following you.  Concentrate on writing a quality post and make sure that you review it before you hit publish.
