As bloggers, we all need inspiration and guidance. And, both of these we find in abundance in some of the really fabulous blogs in the blogosphere. Just visiting these blogs and reading the amazing posts helps motivate us to give our best. It also teaches us so much about writing, expressing our views and honing our skills.
There are some blogs I visit almost every time there’s a new post there. Some, that have become not just a favourite place, but also where I get to learn a lot. Like an institution, perhaps. There are also some that I may not visit regularly, but whenever I do, I come back feeling so good!
And, there are some blogs that I discovered during this ongoing A to Z Blogging Challenge.
Today, I am sharing the Ultimate Blogs for you all to follow, if you aren’t already. You will not only find awesome stuff to read but, believe me, you will come back feeling enlightened, enriched. You will find a lot of information in some and through others, you will be able to learn how to work on presenting your posts; crafting your posts till they shine with perfection!
I shared with you my favourite Book Reviewers‘ blogs, and also my favourite Food blogs some days ago. Do read those posts if you haven’t.
The following bloggers blog about varied topics, but the topics I have mentioned here, are the ones I find most inspiring as well as entertaining at their respective blogs.

So, until next time…I mean, until the next such ‘Ultimate Blogs to Follow‘ post…

SHILPA.
My theme for the A to Z Blogging Challenge is all about my blog, Metanoia, and my blogging journey from the time I started, 5 years ago. The lessons I learnt, the tips and tricks I picked up from fellow bloggers and the guidelines I could have used back when I began.
You will find all of my A to Z posts here.
Definitely a good list of blogs to follow 👍 some listed ones are my favourite too 🙂
Thanks for sharing 🙂

I have simply loved each and every post of yours this A to Z. I have learned so much from you, right from narrating the story of a real-life person, to portraying them as they are, without any judgments. I like the flow of your words, and often wish I could read more!
Love!

Awwww I’m so very touched Shilpa. Really honoured to be part of this august list. You made my day end with a big radiant smile plastered all over my face. Thank you so very much. Gratitude. And have I told you I love Metanoia too, a great deal. ❤
Btw off the topic, but how are the baby winged wonders doing? Do post some new pictures and write about them when you can. You know I'll be all ears. 🙂

Your posts speak a lot about your style as a narrator. Your words, your language leaves me feeling awestruck. And, wishing I could be equally articulate in my posts.
My winged babies are doing fine. The little ones are growing into feisty beings with minds of their own. They still need to be hand fed, but I am sure they will soon outgrow this baby phase. I hope they bond with my Cookie and become best of friends! 🙂

You know I love your A to Z posts, Varad. Each post I read has my heart thumping and wondering what lies ahead! I used to dabble in fiction, but have put the brakes on it, for now. Your fictional pieces are so inspiring; posts I could learn to write fiction from!
Wish you the very best! And, do consider my suggestion of turning that ghost story into a full length one. 🙂
