So many other girls my age were doing it so I thought what the heck and it will help build up my author platform. I had no idea how much discipline and creativity it took. During the first year or so, I got discouraged and quit for a while, because I had no clue what I was doing, but starting in late 2014, I decided I&#8217;m going to really try to get this blog going.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Since January 2015 I haven&#8217;t missed a post and now I get several comments a week; across Google+, blogger, and Blog Lovin I have about a hundred followers; I post five times a week; and get about 2000 views a month. I&#8217;ve come a long way from maybe one post a month and it keeps on growing.
