  1. Great blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out
    there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Many thanks!

    1. Thanks for the compliments! I really enjoy writing on my blog. It’s not all that difficult but it takes time to get around. I would definitely
      start with a free platform like myself and so far I’m happy with alter vista.org. They give you lot’s of support. You have to have patience and build your website gradually…it took me a while. I even took a free online course on building a blog. It won’t be perfect all at once if you do it yourself, but that’s the nice thing about it…to see it grow.
