The Struggling Blogger

I am The Struggling Blogger… not because I am struggling merely to survive, but I am surviving amidst all these struggling.

I am a survivor… I have been put down so many times, yet still, I thrive.

I am a dreamer… and while I dream, I work to reach those dreams.

I am an inspiration… I touched lives not because I performed miracles, but because I believe in miracles.

I am an author… not because I am a good writer, but because I share my heart, my soul… my life.

These past few days, things weren’t doing well… but they’re not really doing bad either. Actually, I didn’t care.

Honestly, I never thought I’d see the day that blogging would feel like a chore to me… but it did, and I wanted to quit.

At first, I thought it was just another case of writer’s block, or I was just finding some lame excuses to procrastinate, I thought I was just being lazy.

But I wasn’t.

I was tired.

I have quite a number of reasons why Jena Isle is the first featured blogger in the Bloggers Connection, aside from being my Cabalen. For one, she has been a major influence for me coming out of my blog… err, shell. She seems to have taken it upon herself to look out for new and ’shy’ bloggers and encourage them to go out, explore the blogosphere and of course, to enjoy blogging. I have met a lot of great bloggers because of her initiative.

A great motivator indeed, but Jena’s mission does not end there. She has an ongoing campaign in eradicating violence on TV for our children’s sake. She is in fact encouraging everyone to guest post in her blog should they have any articles, stories, poems or pictures that can help her cause. Please take this as an invitation and join Jena in this worthy advocacy.

Linkity-link, linkity-link
An SEO-wannabe, hmm… let me think
I’ll drive more traffic, I’ll get more hits
If only I know how to linkity-link

Linkity-link, linkity-link
Cash registers ringing, klankity-klink
I’d love to hear that sound, e’en the faintest ‘pink’
Oh, if only I know how to linkity-link

Modesty aside I have been googled at
And Yahoo searches have found me, just like that
Yet I really don’t know how to play the game
So I still have a poor Page Ranking, oh! what a shame!

I am planning to start a new blog. Yes I know, I already have one blog too many, so sue me. Seriously, I have been thinking, and having this itch for quite a long time, which motivates me to start another blog.

In this new blog, I will be writing… or will attempt to, write short stories. Stories of different genre, from romance, suspense, actions, comedies and satires, and yes, maybe even of horrors, and to the absolute macabre, who knows. I’d like to test myself.

In line with this, I am now in search for the best web hosting company there is. I would like this blog to feature me not just as The Struggling Blogger, but as The Writer… okay, make that The Struggling Writer. So, I would like it to have it’s own domain name instead of one on a free-hosted blog. But I have just found out, searching and making a choice isn’t really that easy.
