Swati’s World of Thoughts – My Blogging Saga

Today, we’re delving into the realm of the letter “S”. As I pondered various topics, it dawned on me to delve into the saga of my blogging journey, starting with SwatisWorld ofhoughts, my first blog. Just to avoid any confusion, let me clarify that I manage two blogs: “Swati’s World of Thoughts,” about which I’m sharing my blogging expedition, and “Imagemakeover,” the platform through which I’m crafting this narrative.

So lets begin………….

My journey with my blog began in 2015, that was the time when I sought solace in the written word. For me it was more than just a blog; it was my sanctuary, a place where my thoughts could flow freely, unfiltered, and unencumbered by the constraints of daily life. With each keystroke, I poured my heart onto the digital canvas, creating a space that felt like home.

In those early days, my blog was a reflection of my inner world, a place where I penned down my thoughts, feelings, and emotions in form of poetry with a raw honesty that resonated with readers. It was a medium through which I found catharsis, a way to lighten the burdens that weighed heavy on my soul.

But as my love for literature grew, so did my aspirations for my blog. I discovered a passion for books—a passion so intense that it ignited a spark within me. With each book I devoured, I realized the power of words to transport, to transform, and to transcend. And thus, a new chapter in my journey began.

I decided to channel my love for books into my blog, transforming it into a haven for book enthusiasts. I started writing reviews that were not just critiques but love letters to the authors who had captured my heart. I wanted that the words I use danced off the page, weaving tales of wonder and enchantment that would inspired others to dive headfirst into the magical world of literature.

As my blog gained little traction, so did my confidence. I then realized that my voice mattered, and the words had the power to inspire, to educate, and to ignite change. And with each review I penned, I actually found myself growing—not just as a writer but as a person.

Today, Swati’s blog stands as a testament to the transformative power of passion and perseverance. What started as a simple outlet for my thoughts has evolved into a platform that helps me not just to express but to inspire too.

In this journey, I’ve come to realize that being a book reviewer brings both advantages and disadvantages. What I really enjoy are the opportunities to explore diverse genres, having power to influence readers’ choices and contribute to the success of authors and books I admire. The best part is receiving advanced copies of books, allowing me to read and review titles before they are officially published. Engaging with authors, publishers, and fellow reviewers that can lead to valuable connections within the literary community is the most motivating factor. But there are moments when I’m compelled to read books that don’t align with my preferences or are simply unengaging. Unfortunately, the constraints of time often mean I’m unable to indulge in books of my own choosing. Often face tight deadlines for reading and writing reviews, which care stressful, especially when juggling multiple commitments. Reviewing books requires subjective judgment, due to which personal preferences may affect the assessment of a book’s quality, potentially leading to biased reviews.

Despite the challenges, my passion for books eclipses any drawbacks. My happiest moments involve sitting with a steaming cup of hot ginger tea, nestled in my cozy corner with my favorite book in hand.
