Words empower you! It's a tool that you can use to change yourself and this world. People did it actually which took us to this 21st century. Today I'm going to tell you the motivation behind my blog Neuron Blast and what I've learned by developing and maintaining it.
My writing journey started when I was at junior high. It started with writing rap songs. I was obsessed with it. A great thing about writing rap songs is you can literally show your creativity by telling someone stories with words, rhythm and rhyme.
After that when I was at senior high I started writing short horror and suspense stories. I enjoyed it but it didn't get continued for too long. I stopped.
You really don't know where your skills would be helpful believe me! That's why I would suggest you to explore as much as you can. Writing skills helped me a lot when I was at the university. In every varsity you must have to participate on course presentations. At first I was shy but after the first presentation it became my another obsession. I like to tell people stories and I applied this in presentations too. I was always focused on making presentations that take people on a journey with me. Till today it helps me to write software documentations, emails, articles and tutorials!
Writing isn't a magical thing that you aquire by birth. Even 10 years ago I didn't even think that I would express myself in a blog of my own. It's a skill that you aquire by reading other people's writings, articles, stories, books and understand how you are going to express your thoughts with words. It doesn't have to be very formal or cool. It's just like you are talking with someone in an open conversation with some topics.
So why should you have your own blog?
The answer is simple: to express yourself! By expressing yourself you share your knowledge and ideas to the world. Ideas are important.
If you are in software development field my suggestion is to build your blog by all by your own. All blogs are different. It will definitely lead you to so many problems and you'll generate solutions all by yourself. Building a blog website like this will enhance your software development skills. Building Neuron Blast helped me to explore new skills and technologies. It may look simple but believe me building a good blog is always challenging and fun 😁
