A Divine Hop

Hello and welcome to Agape Divine. I am lilyakos or Akos for short. I believe you may have acquainted your self with my website at www.freewebs.com/lilyakos already. If not, that is okay as I feel extremely delighted to share some inspirational messages with you today.

I wanted to let you know a little bit more about myself and how I got into writing and publishing over the internet. It all started as a curious effort to see what others were doing the world over. I had browsed through a lot of sites via Yahoo or Google searches till I came across free website publishing.

My actual attempt at creating and publishing a website was with “Freewebs”. Here I decided to create an online journal where I could showcase pictures, stories, links and artworks for all my friends to see. At least an effort well done is also worth publicizing. With respects to my background and nationality, I decided to name it ‘kotoka2Melbounrne’. That was not a bad attempt, looking at the fact that, I had no prior know-how in websites or what I actually wanted to do with one at that time.

Then I realised I needed to polish my writing skills especially now that I was trying to put together my very first book “This God I Served”. It is about the story of my Christian life experiences. With no formal education in creative writing, it proved a very challenging task for me. So I started to look for online tutorials on writing.

Out of luck or divine direction, I came across the Blessing Abundant Site by Janet Lynn Eriksson. She had her Christian online magazine “Reflections” where she published articles from other Christian writers. After I browsed through her tips on writing, I decided to dedicate a full one and a half hour to reading through the entire site. That was the first time I could remember having done that.

I immediately sent my personal comments about the usefulness of her site and we have maintained communication since.
Today I am undertaking her Christian Writers Workshop to becoming a published writer in “Reflections”. I am yet to rewrite my second assignment and to submit it for publication. Of a truth, it has been an enlightening on line workshop for me. This is certainly almost about all I need to help me become a published writer in whatever genre

God willing, I also look forward to publishing my writings and to open an online shop in my own fully functional website. Until then, I dedicate some hours each day, to complete writing on my book and to updating this blog with reviewed assignments from Janet and some of my personal Inspirations.

What ever your dreams are, no matter how small or weird they seem today, someone somewhere is having the answers to them. It is up to do the searching.

Shalom and peace to you.
