M – Thank you! I had never imagined, not even in my wildest dreams, that someday I’ll become a poet. I started my blog as an experiment. On one fine day, one follower commented on my blog post saying that my writing is quite poetic and I should try writing poems, I decided to gave it try. I got very good response to my first poem, so I continued trying to write poems, kept trying to improve my craft. After a year or so I was approached by two publication houses to publish my poetry collection. But I decided to go with self-publishing. I owe the success of my books to my WordPress family. Without their support becoming bestseller would have remained a distant dream. How To Level Up In Lockdown?
Advice for those who don’t like to read –
Read what you love until you start love reading. If you are a sucker for good lyrics while listening to songs, try reading poetry. If you are into adventure, read books of that genre. If you love to travel, try reading a travelogue. If you love horror then get Stephen King in the house. You can start reading in your mother tongue. Read books based on your locality or books of local authors.
In short, pick books goes well with your taste… Eventually, you yourself will try different genres, different writers.
