This is one question I am often asked whenever someone I know in real life comes across my blog. The answer to this question is I really do not remember when it was that I started to blog. What I do know is that it was a gradual process.
It happened a couple of years back. Everyone was talking about blogs, and I wanted one but, being technically challenged, I found one excuse or another to shy away from it.
Then one day, I came across an advertisement in Reader’s Digest about a humorous short story writing contest. The prerequisite to enter the contest was that one had to have an blogging account with the site sulekha.com. So, left with no other choice, I opened an account with them and started to blog. I never regretted starting that blog or submitting the story for the contest.
In fact, sulekha, in alliance with Penguin books, is running another contest called Blog Print for bloggers right now. You can check it out, if you are interested in having a shot at getting published.
As I delved deeper into the world of blogging, I discovered blogspot or blogger, and had a blog on there. After a length of time, I felt the need for having my own domain name for my own blog and, thus, this blog was born.
That was my story, what is yours?
