I started blogging for the very first time in January 2019. It was on a Sunday afternoon, in Oxford. It was just a few days before starting the Drama Writing course. I remember that I was happy and nervous, at the same time – I’ve always loved writing dialogue and I was finally having the opportunity to learn to write it better. I was curious. I was excited. I couldn’t wait to get started!
I wanted to give my mind a break from this course excitement. And to do a blog was a great idea. In fact, it was an idea that I was having in mind for quite some time, but I never had the time to sit and do it. Maybe, it was then the time to start blogging. I’m happy and honored that the beautiful, historical, and highly academic city of Oxford inspired me to start blogging.
I knew from the beginning that I wanted a writing blog. I wanted to … practice online writing essays, comments, reviews, and dialogues – categorized as ‘uncategorized’. J It is different to practice online rather than on paper. Only the idea that someone may be reading it and, as a writer, you are more attentive to the style, the word choice, clarity, etc. I loved it!
However, the more I was writing, the more I wanted writing and the writer’s information in one place. Please, don't get me wrong! I loved blogging on BlogSpot! I think it’s a great free and user-friendly service. But no matter how much I liked it, it seemed that a website would be better. But what website? It’s obvious that I was looking for something similarly free and user-friendly. And I searched until I found a YouTube tutorial on Weebly.
Last month, I worked on making myself a website to include a Writing Blog. Obviously! I followed the steps, I chose some pictures, I personalized pictures, I posted them, and I waited for October 1st, 2021 to continue blogging. In order to stress as strongly as I can that this new Writing Blog is a continuation of the Writing Break Blog I saved two movies from the Old Film Reviews: Hitchcock Series to review on the new blog. And it is just last week that I posted the review of the movie Notorious (1946).
In conclusion, I
haven’t posted on this blog because I was working on a new website, equally
free and user-friendly, to include a blog, too. The new Writing Blog is a continuation of this Writing Break Blog which was a great idea and a great experience
born in Oxford.
Thank you, Google, for this blog
app! It was such a lovely experience that I’m already missing. Thank you for
offering each blogger the opportunity to have a public platform to express their
point of view. I’m committed to continuing my objective approach to the new blog. In general, I don’t take
sides, and I don’t close chapters that were a great experience. I, simply,
leave them open. Consequently, I’m not closing this Writing Break Blog either. Maybe a future idea will need its own
platform and this old blog will be just perfect. Who knows?!
Last, but not least, you’re all welcome to visit the new website, comment, and inscribe your email address to be the first to know about book discounts, give away,
and the back story of my books!
