Why/How/Where do I blog?

When I need to express myself in short posts, I do it here on this site – in the form of flash fiction and poetry. I like the community engagement here, and it keeps bringing me back.

Another one on WordPress is Empowered Women, which has been abandoned for some time. I chastise myself for not giving it enough attention but am unable to do so with my increasing workload. I would love to have guest posts in this space.

My professional blog is MoneyGoalz, where I write about personal finance.

I learnt how to make a website on Wix, and created an author blog for myself. I updated it recently.

Other than these sites, I write on

In the past, I wrote about 100 articles on LinkedIn, and enjoyed good interaction, till Microsoft took over and changed the formats. LinkedIn for me has never been the same after that.

I dabbled with guest posts on some other sites but then realized some of those get pulled down after a while.

I do feel I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, and need to limit it to a maximum of 3 sites. It is just the lure of being found in a Google search easily.

Presently, I’m converting excerpts from my latest book to video with the help of AI, and getting good engagement on YouTube.

Let’s see how the future unfolds.

  1. Wow, Reena! You are a busy lady and thank you for informing us of the other sites where you share your work. I used to write on LinkedIn, as well, but decided it wasn’t worthwhile. I also had 2 blogs, off and on, and found it was too time-consuming and not worth my efforts. In addition to WordPress, I write on PoetrySoup, Spillwords Press, and Tumblr.

      1. I love Spillwords. There are some amazing authors that share their work there. Interaction is a major part of blogging and if it is lacking then I feel it best to move on.

  2. Kudos to you. I dedicate the majority of my online time here at WordPress. That is enough for me. As you know, I am on Medium, but I don’t post there as much. The amount of articles about writing on Medium is super annoying. I wish people would share more original thought.
