Today is a special day for me, and I celebrate with a Giveaway. Five months ago, I started this blog not exactly knowing what I was getting myself into. I wanted to write and share my love for words with the world while working on my first novel.
At that time, I thought I was going to give myself 4 to 5 months to decide whether blogging was right for me. For anyone who know me or followed me since the beginning, you know how much this site has evolved, and I did too. I’m constantly looking for ways to improve myself as a writer, but also improve my blog.
So today, I realized I’ve been blogging for 5 months, and guess what?
I LOVE IT!
Why? Because I had the opportunity to meet incredible writers, authors, and bloggers. I would not be the person I am today without your support. So thank you to all of you! Sharing this experience with you all made my life so much better. I’ve grown as a person and as a writer. I met talented people who candidly shared a wealth of knowledge and wisdom.
It’s important to push ourselves on a daily basis, and learn to become a better writer and a better person. But, it’s also important to stop and celebrate what we’ve accomplished once in a while.
For that reason, I decided to run a little giveaway as my way to celebrate.
The giveaway is now closed. Thank you all for participating!

Congrats on making 5 months blogging! It’s awesome to hear how much you’ve got out of it. I committed to blogging for a year before I make up my mind about it, and I must be getting close to half way. I guess we started around the same time. 🙂
