  53. Fantastic blog! What advice do you have for aspiring writers?
    I hope to start my page soon, but I am a bit
    lost in total. Would you suggest starting with
    a free platform like WordPress, or do you opt for the paid option? There are so many options that I am completely overwhelmed.
    Some suggestions? Thank you!

  54. Nicely written & done.
    I started writing in the last few days and realized that lot of
    writers simply rework old ideas but add very little of value.
    It’s fantastic to read an informative post of some genuine value to myself and your other followers.
    It is on the list of things I need to replicate as a new blogger.
    Reader engagement and content quality are king.
    Some terrific ideas; you’ve most certainly managed to get on my list of blogs to watch!
    Carry on the terrific work!
    Well done,
    Cheryl.
    Thank you!
