Thank YOU!

As the UBC and NaBloPoMo are coming to an end today, I would like to Thank you all. Yes, you, my readers, have been my inspiration to write better with each post. Whoever has cared to visit my blog and cared to drop a line or two, to let me know what you thought about my posts, I can never Thank you enough. 

Would you believe me if I said that each and every comment of yours has been saved in my inbox? So that I can read it over and again when I need a boost for my spirits. Or when I feel drained. Or just to know that all is not lost. That is how much you all mean to me. 

The past month has been a learning curve. I have read a lot of wonderful writers out there. A lot are still pending. I promise I shall read them soon, since this hectic month has come to an end. 

I would like to Thank Soumya, Confused soul, Usha Ma'am, Red, Stranger, PeeVee, Keirthana, Reema, Vinodini, Sreeja, Shanx, Vishal for the constant encouragement and being there for me and my blog! I love you all to the moon and back. My sincere apologies if I have left out any names in this list. Please blame it on the level of exhaustion that I have reached. But please do know that you are a part of the list. Yes, everyone who reads me. A big hug to all of you!

This month has also taught me discipline in terms of writing. That if needed, I can write everyday. Even if on some days, it means scribbling just a few lines. I have never been popular for completing things that I've started off. Of course, there is plenty of energy in the beginning, but it soon fizzles out after a couple of days. Maybe because I have enjoyed writing and being read, I'm proud that I have competed the challenge and can give myself a pat on the back. 

Thank you, July 2014, for teaching me a lot of things and gifting me a bunch of wonderful friends. August, hope you bring much more surprises :) A lot of us are going to be celebrating birthdays, including me :) Yayyy!!! This definitely calls for celebration. Soon!

Lots of love,

A

  6. Yahoooooooooooooooooo!! You completed it! Congrats my darling, you have no idea how proud I am of you! :D

    It always gives me a thrill to see my names in your posts. I don't know why!

    I loved each and every post of yours this month. They were as diverse as it could get and I have seen no one do it as beautifully as you did. Its got a lot to do with discipline. If you want you can even write two posts a day, let alone one. Its all in the mind.

    I try my best to write atleast one a day, but at times times don't permit. I feel bad, but then I realize that there always is a tomorrow! :)

    1. Thank YOU, my Love :) Your name topped my list, you are after all one of my first friend from the blog world. Had it been not for you, my blog would still be decaying in this corner of the world. Or I may not have written this much. So, it's all Thanks to you!

      I do agree, writing daily requires a lot of discipline. Which I was not sure I had till the past one month. Writing daily has its benefits. Should practice it more often now :) And you, my Dear, are doing a fab job as always with your posts.
