It is scary to start a blog. Writing on X site you know what the page looks like, where the photos go, and feel, somehow you are 'safe'. But with so many of these publishing sites being marked "Content Farms", ranking very low on the algorithm, you may get more hits on your own site.

Many beginning fiction writers do not know how to get started making writing their career.
