Wanderingscribe - The Blog

The last time I spent about two hours in the library was in 2007 when I was reading and finishing the book 'The Raja Bahrin's Story'. This morning I spent about another hour again reading in trying to inculcate back the reading habit in me. I was reading The Reader's Digest February 2008 issue, 'The Nights I spent in my car', about a blogger who was homeless, spent nine months in a car but created interest among her readers.

The blogger according to her introduction on her blog said;

Feb, 2006. For the past five months I have been living alone in a car at the edge of the woods — jobless and homeless and totally unable to find a way out of it. I can't sing, I can't dance, I can't scream loudly enough, all I can do is write. So here I am laying down tracks...hopefully the start of an online paper trail out of here. (A miracle happened...My blog was 'discovered' and I eventually got a publishing deal and made it out of my car to write a book about it...)

Her first blog was posted in February 2006, 'The Cold War'

Anya Peters, a homeless women after becoming a bankrupt and losing her job as a Legal Assistant starts sleeping in her car after finding difficulties paying her rent. Being a vagrant she found turned into a blogger after finding the word blog in one discarded newspaper. Her first blog was posted from a public library and since then her world as a blogger lightens up.

She though that blogs were useless because there are millions of blogs and if she was selected,then it would be a miracle.However,the next day,when she checked in her blog,she was surprised to see a lot of response and comments to her posts.She then got a job with big pays.Now she's one of the most richest woman in the world !-forza7sza.
