Today is a special day, because I finally decided I am a writer.
I have finally realized this path, this mood and I officially say these words on my blog in this way.
What does it change globally? Nothing.
This is just my wish I decided to implement. I decided my path as a writer would be noted in detail. Most likely, in this blog, in the regular posts about how I move, what I do, how I achieve certain results or, on the contrary, why something does not work out.
Now I am watching this event for myself. No one knows my intentions (except my cats) and I’m not going to tell people that I’m a writer anytime soon.
Why so? This is my current condition and past interactions with the environment. Only 4 people from my social circle know I am a writer. I don’t communicate with two of them already, they just exist.
I am actually my own writer. I made up my own mind, I move for myself, I am a writer for myself.
I feel good in this role. All I have to do is write, and this can be done in any situation, in any environment.
Readers will appear later.
If my works are worthy of attention, then the audience will expand accordingly. Someone will find me through search engines, someone will follow a link sent to them by an acquaintance, someone will get to know Volodymyr Zagnybida through literary works publications (electronic or paper). In other words, my audience will be formed in a natural way, I will not spend additional efforts, or even more so finances, to artificially draw attention to myself.
I created this blog in order to practice writing, to share my thoughts with others, to show how you can write and be online at the same time.
This blog is my journey as a writer
I just write, I just love to do it.
And what will come of this – we’ll see.

With this post, I begin a publication series about my journey I begin today, November 22, 2022, starting right now. Perhaps later, in a few months or even years, these notes will become part of some autobiographical book. At least they will remain on this site.
A separate publication is a separate step on the writer’s path.
A separate post is a separate story or topic that I will be interested in along the way.
A separate post in this section ‘My Way’ is a separate question that the reader can ask himself and, perhaps, find an answer with me together.
All publications will be freely available, so anyone who wants can join and walk with me, next to me. Or just watch or support each other.
For now, I am going alone with myself.
Only my favorite cats Maslo and Kasha watch my first steps.
On this page I already want to ask questions and share my first intentions, impressions, but that note’s mission is to declare my intention, desire to be, to live as a writer.
There is a long road ahead, we will have time to talk about all interesting topics, discuss important issues, share impressions and, of course, our works, texts.
Taking my first step, writing my first chapter.
I’m starting.

Within my blog, I seek out inspiration, delve into self-discovery, search for answers to questions, and provide responses to current topics.
