                           Why I Started Blogging            

Hey my lovely readers, hope you are well.


I thought I'd do this blog on the reasons why I started blogging and why I love writing so much. I started 'Reach For The Stars With Abbie' in 2015 but I had a smaller blog before that so I'd say I have been blogging for about 7 years. In that time I have wrote about so many different topics and important moments in my life. I have loved writing each and every one of them!

When I started blogging, I think I wanted to explain the different things that went on in my life as a teenager with a disability. I loved explaining my disability and I wanted to blog about subjects around that. Then I was able to come up with more interesting subjects when I knew what the main purpose was for my blog. So I think this is why I started to write. 

Writing has always been a love of mine, whether it's a blog, a story or something else, I just love jotting my ideas down and making it into a piece of writing. Writing always makes me feel positive as it has always been more of a hobby rather than something I have to do. So therefore I love writing as it brings a smile to my face. Also everyones feedback is always lovely to receive and I like getting ideas from people.
  
Blogging makes me stop to think when I am really busy, I like blogging as its lovely to let everyone know what I've been up to or I like giving sharing positivity with people. I think I love to blog when I've tried something new or have something to share, these are amazing to write as I love sharing about something I have done or offer out any information or advice to anyone who needs it. Sometimes it's even nice to do just a hello blog and check in with the amazing people who takes the time out to read my blogs.

Writing blogs can be challenging when you are trying to think of what to write as I don't want it to sound boring, and I have to be mindful of what I have written in previous blogs so it doesn't sound repetitive. I love writing blogs when I love the subject, I think the more I love the subject, the more its easier to write about. I enjoy being creative with my writing so I always try to make it fun and interesting to read and make my audience want to interact and extract something from it, whether it is just for enjoyment or they can learn something from it. I try to write a wide range of blogs so there's something to interest everyone.

Another reason is, I have always been interested in writing as I find it really therapeutic as I love explaining the reasons of the topic I am writing about. I like giving people something exciting to read and be able to allow them to learn something or take something from the piece of writing. Also I just love writing about things that matters to me and I like sharing these things as it may help someone that reads my blogs. I do sometimes put myself in the readers shoes and think about different topics to interest people to read more of my blogs.  

I never find the actual blog hard to write, I just really struggle sometime with what to base it on because I don't want to sound like I am repeating myself in blog to blog. I sometimes get stage fright about posting if it is slightly out of my comfort zone. Once I have the subject that I want to write about, I find it easier then to plan out what I want to write in the blog. Now I have written quite a few blogs, I have got into a rhythm and a pattern about how I like to write, and what sort of things does well and maybe things that doesn't do quite as well. I like experimenting with my blogs to see how the different subjects work.

So in a nutshell, I started to blog because I find writing so fascinating and I just love to share positivity to all of my lovely readers! Writing my blogs always make me smile and I hope make others smile too!!

As always, thanks for reading 

Abbie

Slowly approaching the next stage of life

Hey guys Thought this blog may help others that are starting to think about coming to the end of school, sixth form, college, uni etc and have worries or fears about starting a chapter in life. I am in my last year at sixth form and starting to think about what is best for me in terms of needs, skills, learning to work with a wider range of people etc. I don't know about others but I worry about going somewhere new, meeting new people and adapting to their way of working. It scares the hell out of me but how I look at it is I am there to widen my own knowledge and skills to better myself for the future. Has anyone got to the school gates or waiting for a interview for college or uni etc and thought I don't want to be here, lets face it we all have been in similar situations. I remember sitting in a meeting to start sixth form and felt physically sick and was thinking will I be ok to do the course? will I get along with the people... 2 years on sixth form feels like my secon...

Get Over Yourself...We're Only Disabled! Part 25

Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled ! Hey my lovely readers. I hope you are well.  Acknowledgements   Well, what can I say? I can't believe I have written my first book!  It took me a whole year to write this, with support from staff at National Star College and my family.  I thought writing a book would be really difficult and I would have just given up over time but despite amending how many chapters I wanted in this book, I achieved what I wanted to get out of writing a book. I must admit that I haven't worked on “Get Over Yourself, We’re Only Disabled” religiously.  However, it has been refreshing to have a goal to work towards.  Something that can be my thing, my aim, and my success.  I feel that I have achieved that. I want to say a massive thank you to my family for helping me over the years to get to this point where I’ve been able to write this book and have the knowledge and understanding of my life and mine...

Up Movement, The Adult Cerebral Palsy Movement Hi my lovely readers, hope you are well. I know after I finished posting my book, I wasn't sure on what to post on my blog. So I decided to have a little break to think about what I could post about but I really wanted to come back with a special idea for my blogs, I wanted to talk about what is interesting me lately. I attend a Zoom meeting each week with a lovely organisation called UP movement, a group set up by an amazing lady called Emma and then another brilliant lady called Mirriam. Emma has Cerebral Palsy herself, so that in its self is really lovely as it gives others a sense of achievement and encouragement, just to learn about her journey with Cerebral Palsy. Emma is incredible, she has Cerebral Palsy, however she is a wife and a mother, she is the founder of Up Movement and a strong advocate and a voice for people with Cerebral Palsy.    The people who attend are adults with Cerebral Palsy, so this ...
