Exactly eight months back just before going to sleep I thought of an idea to self publish my story. On my cell phone, I made an account on WordPress, wrote and published a post ‘my broken shell’ straight away. It was for this reason my blog has a strange site address of ashellinmaking. It somehow manages to resonate with my overall insight and journey into writing. I was overjoyed to see my blog viewed by the first visitor followed by a personal message.

Today at the end of the year, after eight months, my blog has been viewed 3599 times. With 263 followers.

May I take this opportunity to appreciate everyone who took some time out to check my blog and leave me a comment or a like. Every word of encouragement and criticism has helped me see in a different light.

I had most of my posts viewed in the Uk, Pakistan, USA and India. Some posts surprisingly made more impact than others.

Thank you ever so much for the support from near and far, throughout this time.

I wish you all a prosperous new year.
