WHY I STARTED WRITING.

Finally, I am doing this. Thank you for reading my very first write up. If you did not get a chance to, please find it here https:iknowsham.wordpress.com/2021/01/08/2020-in-three-words/

After procrastinating for months and months about what to write in my very first write up and getting distracted with all kinds of things like the festive season celebrations, the unpredictability during this pandemic leading to lack of motivation to do a thing,eating too much and then starting to worry about my weight,here I am finally writing my second post.

Last year I decided I should probably start writing because I had so much time on my hands during the lockdown and spending most of it reading different interesting articles, blogs and books.The best thing a friend of mine did for me in 2019 was to add me to a books group on WhatsApp, and as I speak it is one of my favorite groups because it is only book talk and a few jokes here and there which jokes are book related too, nothing off topic. I really like the self-discipline among the members. We all know this is rare in most of our various WhatsApp groups that we are in. On this group, there is always someone that has the book you want always. Reading all the books made me acquire the desire to also put something out there that would maybe interest a few people. They tell us to do a lot of the things we love to do. I love books and therefore let me write some maybe.They may not be books but who knows, we could get there.

I usually note down things and this helps me internalize what I have to do and also for purposes of not forgetting. One of the things that motivate me to note down things is having beautiful notebooks. I am the kind of person that will look for a beautiful note book and will not buy until I find one that will interest me or I will move to various shops and supermarkets just looking for a good one. I do prefer real note books to taking digital notes. Yeah I sometimes I am rigid like that. I usually buy these at the beginning of the year. I also like to look and admire the work of my hands and brain after writing paragraphs and taking these notes. This is therefore going to be my other NOTEBOOK.

I do hope to share some of my life experiences here. I don’t intend to be a motivational speaker or use some kind of hard English words to over complicate my life and yours but to find solutions to our everyday problems, to find inspiration and motivation to feel connected and know that someone else is going through the same life experiences.

I have known how to write for over twenty years since the age of three.I should have actually started writing earlier. My parents did not pay school fees for nothing.

I write because it is the easiest and most kind way I can express myself, I am not a person that talks much. Words sound better from my hands than from the mouth.

I am also writing because I mean WHY NOT?

But to everybody that has been wondering, those are some of the reasons I started writing. I do hope to add on those in the future.

So keep around and please don’t hesitate to leave a comment to let me know you have been here.
