Blogging was fun and exciting at first. Getting a few loyal friends to sign-up seemed easy. The rope was short enough for comments, and there was the 'bubble bath patting' made ready, if I made silly mistakes. I even had two freelance chief editors who were there to tick the box for me.
But as days went by, and weeks stretched into months, writing for my blog(s) became cumbersome and tiring.
Then, my workload increased—responsibilities skyrocketed, activities here and there, hustle and bustle of everyday life won't let go. It got complicated when surrounding bloggers increased—we all scrambled for space, readers, shares, comments and fans.
Trouble came knocking when comments started to grind to a halt, and some friends taught I was becoming overwhelming. Some exited quietly while others dramatized in a way that I was left to wonder.
My once uphill statistics flattened out and my novel write-ups bade creativity the usual good-byes. It did not end there, I was tempted to quit and the horrible sight of seeing the skeleton of my blog haunted me day and night.
Did I quit? Of course not! Did I learn? Yes! Many
lessons even hard to recall! Do I have anything to show for it? Yes!

‘Pardon me!’
This is no viral collection. I will tell you about that in a few months, but the point here is that I survived the early crash, I didn't quit and I don’t intend to, at any time.
