We got help from ADIC Publications and the Pens Club and Bill Ki lucky foundations. They helped us to get into a new platform and our new platform got its logo. And we realized, okay, we started up with everything and this is our first chance to implement our emotions into words. And the main motive of our group is yes, of course you can write. If not you, then who?
I know how they have boosted my confidence and allowed me to explore various forms of writing and made me the person I am today and today I'm interviewing you. So for a writer, the first place to start exploring the talent is definitely a writing community. And when I hear your vision, I feel that it's a very good platform for new writers and writers who wants to experiment with their writings

So we promoted writers. We helped them to open up their minds. At first we got a positive response from all language people because they are surprised with the trial language community. They wanted to see how our group runs. So we got judges from Tamil and English and Hindi as well. So judges are people who are already in writing communities or who have published poetry writing, or they themselves want to become a good writer. Or we ourselves sometimes judge the works
And I completely agree to you that when I joined this writing communities, I was also amazed because many high school students were there and I came late into the picture, if you ask me, like I am somebody in my early forty s a mother and then I am recognizing all these things are there. I'm also a South Indian and I completely agree that in our region or in our area, not many people are aware of such things

Then finally we explain to all people if you are feeling like your words are not good or something, just focus for some days. Just concentrate on what you're writing. Instead of removing people out of their bad words or out of their incomprehensible explanations we explained them to wait patiently and we're them to concentrate more on the works they want to express. So this led a greater chance for writers to participate more in anthologies and magazines. Thank you
And also how person, if they want to join your community, whom do they need to contact or what are the joining for joining this community? Please tell us that so that the people listening to this interview and if they are interested to join your community can contact the right person or the right account to get an entry to your writing

Moon is waiting for sun to set so that she can glow her appearance or adorn herself for the entire like that we can say a writer can only build the view of people everyone can see the beauty and everything but not everyone can express it. So writers are blessed in their own way. Thank you so much much for having me. With this moment we feel Omyoda will get more support from people. You can ping us in our instagram om Yoda we are so happy to have you in our platform
That's very good explanation of the purse of being in your community. And my listeners, you might have heard that they nourish their writers, they give confidence to their writers. And please note, it's a free community. You don't have to pay anything to join that community or get the support from the community members to grow yourself as a writer. Neither anything is charged for publishing your work in emagazines if your write ups are really good
