Before pursuing to the next facet of my writing, first and foremost, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to our Lord Almighty for all the blessings He bestowed upon me; to my son and to my beloved mother who were always there with their untiring incessant support; to all my friends in Yahoo 360 whose quality accompaniment inspires me and to all my unswerving friends out there, thank you so much.
According to my late father, writing had already been a part of myself because at my younger age, I could already narrate to them a short story of my own composition. He often told us the same story that I shared in my younger days when we were all at home especially during Sundays before evening prayers or before going to sleep. I also remembered that during my high school days, I wrote a song intended to my classmates who were very close to me and a short story which was even played in a stage drama with the help of my teachers.
When I was in college, I supposed to take up Journalism but unfortunately the course was not offered in our locality so, I took up business course. Besides, I was not permitted by my parents to study in a distant place .
The same dream did not come to realize when I work permanently in the Government however, such interruption did not stop my writing habit. I always write something when I have the chance to write of whatever concept I have in my mind until writing becomes a hobby to me. It becomes an immediate accession during solitude and is now a part of myself. I am happy to stay home just to spend time to write. I am more fascinated in poetry and an avid reader of the works of Shakespeare, Kipling, Poe and Faulkner.
In my room, my accessions and accessories are my books, dictionaries, encyclopedia and all writing materials which I could readily use when burning my midnight candles. Any concept conceived to my mind, I immediately jot down for composition.
Until the Internet comes. Its existence becomes an integral part of my research and study tending me to patronize it purportedly for my writings. This innovation contributed a lot to my writing skill to possibly impart my work not only within the domestic sphere but internationally.
Yahoo and its messenger was the first domain I came to join with where I met quality friends who were also members in Yahoo 360. I joined Yahoo 360 in the later part of 2005 but not active in Blogging.
I then came to realize that by joining the site, I could possibly impart my writings. So, I started writing in just a simple lines in the later part of 2006. As my mind works, it convinced me to write more until I successfully posted twenty (20) Articles in 2007 which also increases the number of quality friends I met.
In the later part of October last year, I joined an earning site through my best friend where I posted several discussions and received cognitive responses. Although the earning is not much but am still happy with it. I enjoyed participating the discussions not because of monetary consideration but because of sharing useful insights.
Since I am still active in the Government service, I could hardly spare my time in writing, but the same is not a bar to push through my writing career as I could still write during leisure time.
The endeavors I've shared with the sites mentioned earlier, influenced me to have my own sub-domain to house my own writings and that's it, I joined in Blogger. In the 4th Quarter of 2007, I successfully posted twelve articles.
Successfully in 2007, I posted thirty-two articles which I hopefully believed to increase exponentially not only this year but onwards thus, indicate greater opportunity to a successful career in the future and to have my own domain someday.
As an Amateur, I do need to improve my writing skills. Therefore, to all my dear friends, thank you so much for being there and the incessant support to my writings!
MORE POWER and GOD BLESS!
