When I started writing it never occurred to me that I will be able to write anything. I mean, with the kind of material around the internet I never stood a chance to get noticed. That was my line of thought then. It was intimidating.
I had started on a social website called Quora. I started commenting on most of the answers I liked. I tried to be creative while doing so. I got few upvotes on my comments. Felt great.
After reading so many answers I decided to start writing. I would not say I have achieved much. However, I am at a level where I can think of an idea and write about it. I have been appreciated by many strangers across the globe. I take that as my accomplishment.
At one random night, I was riding a motorcycle. The speed was around 70 to 80 km/hr. I had a deadly encounter with a pothole in the middle of a highway. I survived with the pillion rider friend. The wheel broke. It was middle of the night. I can never forget that night. It was horrible.
I was taking a walk the next day. Thinking. What if a pothole could talk? What would he say? If I write about it, how can I present its story in a different way? I thought and thought. I created a blog and wrote my first post. A Unique Resumé of a Pothole. Read it here if you like. https://steemit.com/life/@dev/a-unique-resume-of-a-pothole
Everybody has a different face. They have different experiences. Their perspectives are different.
There will be a time when you start adding your unique style to your writing. That is the time when people will like what you write.
