Shilpa has always been an inspiration to me. I simply adore her ability to push herself and keep writing. She's taken up one challenge after the other and I have often marveled how she comes up with such creatively crafted post every single day!! And so when I read about her taking up this "Ultimate blog challenge" I found myself wondering if I should do so too!
Self effacing doubts had all but clammed up my mind...Will I be able to write every single day? What will I blog about? But then it also seemed like loads of fun, and that's what got me started.
The Ultimate Blog Challenge is a virtual event for bloggers held every quarter – January, April, July and October. The goal is to write and share a new blog post every day during the challenge month.
It’s hosted by Michele Scism & Michelle Shaeffer, two entrepreneurs and bloggers who several years ago discovered the amazing power of blog challenges and decided to create the UBC to get more bloggers connected and motivated to succeed!

It's Day 1 of the challenge. The first thought that came to me was the first day of starting my blog.
I had been writing since I was in school and all those little diaries and notebooks have moved with me where I went. We were inseparable. There were like treasure troves that contained poems, stories and little snippets of my life. How could I ever leave that "little me" behind? When a friend suggested that I could put all that in my own blog, it sounded like a great idea! And that's how this blog was born.
I wrote random stuff, and could not really call myself a niche writer. So when it came to naming the blog, I decided on naming it "The Little Princess". That's what dad calls me..... his little princess and being daddy's little girl it sounded perfect to me. That my stories are more female oriented happens to be a coincidence!! And yes, that they sound like a fairy tale, is even more!!
So that's why the Little Princess! :) Now that we are started let's hope we sail through :)

aren't you the guy in the mirror? when did the change to roll no 53 happen? :) now u'll have to tell me about the change of name!
Deleteand i really hope to be able to keep blogging every day!
Oh yes I am :)
DeleteAbout 4-5 days ago. The guy in the mirror was too long, I wanted something short and easy that's a part of me. Hence, roll no 53 from 4 years of college.
I wish you all the best :)
