Very good blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
ReplyDeleteI'm planning to start my own blog
soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you suggest starting with a free platform like
Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm completely
overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thanks!
