For today's read, you will find that I have interviewed a close friend of mine, so close that in fact, she sleeps right next to me. In this blog, I will try to write thoroughly based on her answers, as to why she started blogging and her main focus when it comes to blogging.
Zumrotus Sholichah, a 21 year old female, that is currently pursuing her study in the Department of English at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. I would describe her as a book-worm, as I have seen it myself, that her cupboard is full of books in every genre one could ever think of. Not only does she read hard-covered books, she also spends majority of her time reading wattpads, before sleep, after she wakes up from sleep and anywhere in between really. Oh I should also mention that she is a die-hard fan of the KPOP band, NCT.
This friend of mine first started writing her blog in 2018, with the intentions to vent and make it a personal diary. Her blog consisted of a few short stories, without any specific theme. She told me that it wasn't her main focus to establish a particular theme, because her purpose of writing a blog is simply just for herself.
When I asked her how many of her writings she has published, she mentioned that only two of them she has made public, and the rest are still draft. I also managed to dig a little deeper and find out what two of her writings were about, she said that,
"One of the writing I have published were based on my opinion about a certain topic and the other one is about how to love oneself"
I didn't get to ask why she has decided to write about 'loving oneself', but I find that quite interesting. Not a lot of bloggers write about self-love and how important it is to take care of themselves. Now I bet that if she writes for the public, she might get a lot of readers hooked, because I believe that she has a lot of ideas to share, and opinions that may spark conversations with strangers.
Anyway, as of for now, she is taking a break from writing because she is focusing on finishing her thesis paper. However, she is planning to write more for her blog.
"Aku akan tetap nulis bebas, sebebas-bebasnya", utters Zumroh.
I second that actually. I used to also write blogs, but for personal interest and its all free-writing, no theme or particular topic. I find that it's best that way because I always have room to explore and find topics to write about, and not just be focused on one specific idea. Nonetheless, I do hope to read her blog, but I am not quite sure if she will be fond of that. Maybe I will tease her about it until she lets me read it. That's all from me 🥰🥰
The blog has a detailed information about your topic, but there are some grammatical errors, especially about the use of comma in some sentences.
