Top post on IndiBlogger, the biggest community of Indian Bloggers

I celebrated  my birthday two days ago and it was heart-warming to see my friends and relatives trying to make it special through their messages, calls and wishes. My family made it memorable through cakes, gifts and gastronomic adventures. had been a great but hectic month for me as I wrote daily for the A2Z challenge. I had decided to allot more time for reading in May. There had been a sense of restlessness in my heart for the past few months and I decided to finally attend to it.

In the recent past, there were times when I felt stuck in my writing journey and couldn’t concentrate on reading either. Instead of identifying it as just another phase and waiting for it to get over, I have chosen to face it heads on by taking a professional decision. This June, I am planning to get back to academics once again as I commence my third masters degree program. After a M.Sc & a MBA degree, I have decided to enroll for an online MFA course in creative writing.

I intend to keep this blog active, though there might be a dip in the frequency of posting. But I hope that through this program, I would finally get back to my usual reading pace while working on my writing assignments and the much-awaited second novel. Need all your wishes as I get back to becoming a student yet again.

You could follow me on my social media handles on FB, Twitter and Instagram to stay updated with the happenings in my academic career. The links are available on the home page of the blog or you could search for @soniasmusings on these platforms.
