Happy Belated Birthday Blog

Writer Revealed is now just over 2 years old. 27th of March was the official birthday, but while it was on my mind in the beginning of March, by the time end of March came, I had completely forgotten about it, so this is a late greeting.

I can't believe it's been two years already, but then that seems to be the feeling for this whole writing thing as well. On one hand it feels like it's been quite a journey, but on the other hand, it still seems like a beginning. While I started writing long before I started this blog, this blog has been the testament to when I started writing "seriously" with intention of publication as soon as possible, as oppose to that mysterious "one day".

I haven't always been as disciplined or as dedicated as I could have been, but I have managed to remain on the path. That - staying on the path - is no struggle at all, because after all, this is what I want to do. It is a choice. Sometimes, it just takes bit of time to get going with the action.

Thank you to all of my wonderful readers for taking the time to read this blog, and to comment on it. I appreciate all of you being here, and I am priviledged to know you.

Best wishes,
Dolly.

Happy Birthday Blog

This blog is exactly one year old today. And what an exciting year it has been! 

First about the blog - we have had name changes, layout changes, and even address change. I hope the current stuff is here to stay, at least for some time. 

The most important bit - THANK YOU to all my wonderful blog buddies. Your support and participation has been a real motivation behind this blog, and it has made the process all the more enjoyable. Of the many social networking tools, blogging is where I spend most of my time - and it's thanks to you :-) So THANK YOU. 

Some symbolism 
Though I hadn't planned on it, and frankly it didn't occur to me until I began writing this post - there is a great symbolism behind the journey from Lost Wanderer's Writing Blog to Writer Revealed. 

When I first started this blog, after several years of writing many first drafts and treating writing as a hobby, I had finally realised that I wanted this - more than anything, and this is what I was meant to do. So when I got serious about writing, I started this blog. At the time, I had good intention and a lot of motivation, but I was lost. I had no idea about all the blogs and information and all the millions of rules of writing and submitting. Before that, I just used to write. 

It has been a long journey, but during that journey, I have come a long way. From a Lost Wanderer, afraid to say I was a writer, now I say that with confidence. I may not be a published author yet, but I am sure as hell a writer, and I will remain one for the rest of my life. So how apt that I happened to choose "Writer Revealed." 

This blog has recorded the most monumental year for my writing - and I plan to continue this journey with you, as I progress to different stages as a writer. I hope you will stick with me. 

And I look forward to witnessing your own journeys, and cheering you along as we all move forward on this crazy-ass path, each in our own way. 

Lots of smiles and best wishes to you all :-))))
