My Liebster Award Nomination 2020

First, I would like to thank Trish for nominating me for this award. It was quite an unexpected and pleasant surprise. I am deeply touched and humbled.

Before I discovered my love for writing, I was an avid reader. Any member of my family would tell you that I spent most of my time with my nose buried in a book. I don’t remember when I decided to put a pen to paper and start writing but writing has become my passion. And I used to fill exercise books with short stories and romances.

The blogging world is a writer’s paradise and I quickly became enamored. I’m grateful to Trish and all the amazing bloggers who have visited me and commented on my posts. Their support and encouragement have helped me to improve as a writer.
