From Coding to Writing: My Unexpected Blogging Journey

I am so happy to be a part of the DEV community. While writing my latest blog, I came across an article about we_coded. WeCoded is an event held by the DEV community on the occasion of Women’s Day.
I read some of their blogs, and I felt happy to see the DEV community encouraging and supporting women.
It filled me with pride that I am part of such an inclusive and supportive community. Moreover, I thought to share my journey with my fellow developers and build connections with like-minded people.

I am here to share my blogging journey with you and how I started writing the blog from being a professional developer to a blogger.

As a professional developer I never thought of stepping into the world of blogging. However, one fine day my husband (Rajeev) made an unexpected sugesstion that why don’t you write a blog which helps beginners struggling to find a solution, or searching for a simple and basic informative blog which make them kick start their jorney into the world of technology.

When I first heard of that I was taken a back. I had so many questions in my mind how do I do that, I am not into writing, what if there were no readers? But his faith in me make me do that.

I researched many different blogging platforms, weighed the pros and crons and finally settled on one which suited for me.
Now my biggest challenge is to find my writing voice as developer I always communicate in code. Futher I started researching how to write a contents, on which topics should I write first? What technology it must be?

I started with small tips and tricks, coding tutorials in steps. I enjoyed converting complex concepts into simple and smallest steps. While writing from my very first blog to another, I thought I would not write more than two to three blogs ,but I was wrong. I deeply involved and I enjoying it. Though I am not good at writing content, I belive I am improving day by day with each blog post.
Moreover, comments from the readers overwhelm me to write more.

It wasn’t always easy task. There were days when I felt sad and wondered if anyone was even reading my posts? Is any one intrested in. But by considering my husband (Rajeev’s) faith in me and trusting myself that my love for coding would shine through. So I keep on writing I will write more.

Conclusion:
Staring a blog has not easy task and requires patience, but it’s been worth it. It has its own challenges which grows me as a writer as well as a good coder. It introduced me to the wonderful community of like-minded peoples.

This is my journey from developer to blogger. I can’t wait to see where it takes me next.

Thank you for reading. Please forgive for any mistakes, as I am still learning and growing.

Thanks!!
Happy Reading and Happy Coding!!
