How I started:

I started blogging in March 2018, having had no experience of blogging whatsoever.

I have always had an interest in creative writing and have enjoyed writing fantasy stories and the odd poem. In January 2018 I attended a six-week creative writing course in the City Lit Academy in London, and this really opened up the floodgates of my creative mind. Instead of writing something now and then, I began writing something every single day. I found the experience both Awesome and awe-inspiring. Having my writing read and commented on by my fellow writers was an experience that I found really helpful to me. It helped to dispel any sense of lack of self-worth. It made me want to share my material with an even wider audience. I also wanted somewhere to keep my written material. I decided to write a blog.

I called it Tales from the Mind of Kristian because that is what it really is. It is the creative brain burps of my mind. I am happy to share them with you.

I hope you like them.

Two pieces of advice for new bloggers.

Do what you love, write what you love, as long as you love it and are enjoying it, what everyone else thinks is really not important.
Keep doing it. The more you write the better it will get.
