First off I would like to say wonderful blog!
I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if
you don't mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.

I've had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.
I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure
out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
Thanks!

Heya! I realize this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask.
Does managing a well-established blog such
as yours require a large amount of work? I'm brand new to
operating a blog but I do write in my journal every day.
I'd like to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and thoughts online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips
for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!

Hey there! Quick question that's entirely off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
My site looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone.

I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this problem.
If you have any recommendations, please share. With thanks!

I have no idea about who you are, my good visitor - but I was never a programmer - so have no idea of how these sites can be configured for Mobiles etc. I am an author - Deepak Menon on Amazon Worldwide - and I have simply posted here on their normal template. I suggest you get a professional to do yours.
Regards and have good times
Deepak
