How & Why did I start writing on Candlemonk?

• I have started writing on Candlemonk from the last week of April. I always wanted to have a space of my own for blogging.
• I have a WordPress blog website. I had been writing there, but still never got any relevant feedback from readers.
• Yeah! The reason being, WordPress is an international platform. Millions of blogs have been uploaded there, how to be get highlighted is a huge task.
• One day, while scrolling down Instagram, I got hold of Candlemonk's blogging & monetizing opportunities.
• Candlemonk is our own Indian blogging platform, a newbie & in the developing phase. I thought of it as a great chance to own my blogging place on the internet.
• I decided to jump in & start writing on my own blogging space on an Indian website, gaining profit for myself & my country too :)

How Did Candlemonk Help Me in Writing?

Writing a blog on any platform requires an amount of research, writing, editing & re-writing. I read about the struggles of bloggers but never experienced that.

Writing consistently for at least 3 blogs per week is a task. It builds your muscle memory of writing. 

I started searching for writing ideas, reading books & relevant articles. To make a blog week is a push & motivation for me.

Infact, I now write every day at least 100-200 words easily. But publishing every day a new blog is still a challenge for me!

Initial Problems I faced on Candlemonk

Initially, there were many spam accounts, some with misleading content & clickbait topics with nothing with it. 

Candlemonk, after a while, changed its guidelines to regulate these accounts. It has become a cleaner blogging environment to write upon.

In fact, now Candlemonk has strict rules regarding the blog's body comment section too! :)

How Did Candlemonk Readers & Writers Help Me in Writing?

When I have started, I didn’t get that many views or likes. Slowly, views & likes increased. 

There are many Candlemonk readers who have appreciated, pushed & inspired me to write more.

I got a chance to read many awesome blogs written on life experiences, stories, political views, family stories & sarcastic topics, beautiful poems, travel blogs, food blogs, etc.

I am thankful to Candlemonk bloggers for enhancing my knowledge by sharing such happening topics & experiences.

Not to mention, there were also few naysayers who didn't acknowledge the writing or indifferent readers who just read for completing their read numbers.
