1 YEAR ON: MY HITS AND THE MISSES.

TO TAKE PART IN THE TOPIC DISCUSSION FOR BAT 22 KINDLY CLICK HERE!!!

Continue reading our newly inducted Veteran Blogatonic's BAT XPeriences!!!


From “Hidden” to “The Other Day”, it been a journey of 10 participation's. Started with less than 50 followers and average of 3 responses per post, things were different in the Pre-Blog a Ton period.

1 Year On: and here are my Hits and Misses at BAT:

The Hits:

Fiction 55/ Acrostics: These are 2 forms of writing, i was unaware of, until BAT happened. Not only did i get to know about them, i but even managed to attempt them, on a few occasions.

Comments/ Followers: It will be too modest on my part, if i say, i write for self actualization only. From the time i started blogging, till date, Comments and Followers have been the greatest motivating factors. And must admit, BAT' allows you feast more generously on them.

Consistency: In last 1 year, that my blog has at-least 1 post a month, courtesy BATOMs. Whether i made other posts or not, BATOM ensured the discipline is not lost. Its been 4 years into blogging, and i would say, the last 1 year has been best on the consistency front.

The Misses:

Batom Medals: Well, its like the “Grapes are Sour” story. Ask me, and i have a dozen reasons for not making it, to Batom medals. Busy Schedule, Adhoc Posting, Time Constraints...and the list goes on. But the fact remains, this platform is laden with Ace Writers. Each time i read the winning posts, i realize, the gap that needs to be filled, to reach up there. Kudos to all seasoned writers, indeed a lot to learn from you all. Blessed to be a part of this forum.

The Meet: I was very new to this section, when your meet took place. If i recall it right, parallel meets were held in different cities. I really missed it, wish i could have been a part of the same. Hoping to make it next time :)

Signing off on that note. Wishing this concept of Marathon for Bloggers a great success.
