		<description>Hi Kate,&lt;br/&gt;I got into blogging because a friend wanted me to read her posts in her blog. When I visited her blog and tried to leave a comment, my comment was being denied until I signed up as a blogger. I didn&#039;t post anything in my blog, for I didn&#039;t intend to maintain an active blog. I only opened it to be able to leave comments at my friend&#039;s blog and at her readers&#039; blogs when I visited them, which I enjoyed doing. After a month, she finally convinced me to start posting. However, I was posting forwarded jokes, poems, and stories I received in my email. I learned from reading some of the blogs I visited that, that was not very ethical, so I had to write my very own. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;About the same time, I started writing my first novel. I saw some blog novels published, so I thought be a good thing to try for my novel. I had only my friend for a reader for quite sometime. When people started reading my posts, I was pretty stoked. I thought, &quot;wow&quot;, people are actually reading and liking what I&#039;m writing. I got high from their comments and positive feedback. So now, I&#039;m here to stay as long as people enjoy reading what I&#039;m writing. Sure, ultimately, I&#039;d like my novel to be published in print form someday. I&#039;m wishing.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Tasha</description>
