Brief Story How My Blog Started

I limit myself to a 99 word challenge, because I cannot keep it short. I don’t see myself as a blogger, because I never felt I had anything to say each day. I love to write, it was in my dreams at nights for years, just as a passion. Those who know my story, I initially started this as poetrasblok.com as I wanted to create a platform for my brother who died almost 4 years ago. But this turned into LateNightGirl.org because I was bullied during bereavement at work in Pret A Manger. I survived to tell my story.

My 2 Pieces of Advice for new Bloggers:

1. Stand up for what you are passionate about; it may be a cause, an injustice, a love for unpopular art, rescuing cats in Istanbul, creating an unforgettable vegan recipe on a high street in America surrounded by fast food giants, holding the hand of a dying patient in a hospice, standing in the streets with fellow demonstrators for what you believe needs to change, collecting metal lunch boxes … whatever. And then write your heart out about it! Whatever it may be, stand your ground no matter how little support you’ll have initially. And maybe you will never have the support that you wish for or need, and silence often is the loudest motivator to keep going.

Just know who you are, and stand.

2. Don’t follow rules if they are damaging, flawed or limit creativity. Reinvent, even if your knees are shaking, as long as you don’t hurt people or break the law.
