    Hello. I’m 16 and I have this movie review type blog. I want to get it exposed more than it already is. Can anyone help me by following or telling someone who would like something like that. I love writing and film so much. I want to eventually build it into something. I’m going to go for this as a job I hope, I have two years to at least have a decent foundation. Can you please help me. A great quote = “What is any life without a dream”?

    How can I establish myself more and gain a bigger following? How can I branch out from what I am now? Anything you say will be greatly appreciated. I just don’t really know what to do.
