FROM seeker: a good friend, an excellent writer seeker
- to write a speech,
- thank whoever gave you the award.
- pass it on,
- let them know and
- post the Best moment award on the article
I am forever grateful to blogging and the many other writers and readers for welcoming me into a vibrant world of blogging. Blogging thawed out my writing skills.
Before I started blogging, I closeted myself in a room to sit down and write. Then, I froze. I considered writing to be a solitary craft but looking at a blank screen or talking into thin air was a sterile exercise in futility for me. I could not translate the same creative energy that I experienced telling a story verbally to the keyboard. My intuitive, imaginative side stayed buried and my logical intellect wrote boring drivel.
Somehow I heard about the existence of blogs, blogging sites and blogging directories and I snapped to attention. Suddenly, I was thinking up a username, a title for a blog, looking at templates and design and layout. All these activities loosened up my creativity while I sat typing
It was like an invisible barrier slowly melted, allowing my imagination to bubble up in a stream of written words that felt just as exhilarating as my oral tradition. I was excited to start sharing written stories with other people, people who would read them, respond, comment and give me feed back on what I had written. Within weeks, I was no longer an island but part of a community of other writers who had the very same insecurities and problems as I did.
So a salute to a fraction of the bloggers who helped me.

I still remember the time when you asked me about Daily Prompt how does it work: And my response was “think of it as a game. It’s fun”. I am so glad, Melanie that you are now in full force and using your God’s gift in bringing the goodness bestowed upon you. Have a blessed Sunday and keep on evangelizing. Seeker.
