Bonjour mes amis: I was just saying hello my friends in French. This is my first time publishing a post on this platform and to be sincere I feel really nervous on how to go about my introductory post.
Ah no! I’m not a newbie when it comes to blogging. I’m a consistent writer on a platform called read cash.
I have heard about hive many times from friends and acquaintances but I have been reluctant to give it a trial. You might be tempted to ask: why?
I definitely can answer that. I have opened my hive account through ecency some months ago but I have been reluctant to publish any article. The first reason was that I wasn’t familiar with how the platform works, and I didn't know anyone who would put me through on the dos and don'ts. I myself wasn't eager to learn as I didn't crave out time to learn about the workings of the platform.
But I think the major reason why it took me so long to finally make a post was because I was reluctant to move out of my comfort zone. You see I have been a writer on read cash for more than 6 months so I have become used to the platform and I have made a little name for myself there. So I wallowed myself in the comfort of read cash without thinking about exploring other platforms.
But as a writer you don’t sit in one place or use only a particular method of writing. Writers need to explore by reading the works of other writers, make friends, write and publish on numerous platforms. I believe those are part of the ways a writer can make name for his or her self. But I have shied away from taking most of the steps I listed above.
Today has been a turning point thanks to the right motivation from a friend, as I have decided it is time to give hive a trial.
I am sure you must have heard this popular proverb of Chinese origin which says that: "the journey of a thousand mile begins with a step".
Today I have taken that bold step, and I know in the nearest future I would be glad I did.
About me
It is a norm I believe that an introductory post should reveal its writer be if fully or partially. Well, my username Tomi Ajax isn't my real name but my pseudonym that I use in almost all platforms including in my social media accounts.
My pseudonym is gotten from my real names and a lot of people have come to regard me by it. I’m a young lad in my early twenties. I’m also a student, to be precise: I'm an undergraduate studying industrial chemistry in the University.
As you can guess from the opening sentence of my post, I'm interested in French language and I have been learning for more than a year now with the app Duolingo. I'm far from fluent because I do take breaks from learning but lately I have been learning more enthusiastically than before and I hope I keep up with the tempo.
I also need to mention that I'm a history lover, and I also deeply interested in international politics. Well I believe history and politics are interwoven. Without proper knowledge of history one won’t be able to understand the crisis in today’s international politics.!
I picked up my interest in writing when I was age 10, this was because I was an avid reader. Before I began blogging I specialize in writing short poems and quotes. Don’t worry I would be sharing some of poetical works with you as the time goes by.
Hey hope you enjoyed my introductory post. Thanks for reading.
