For The first time i think i should have crossed the 31-Day writing streak, this is a personal challenge i came up to measure my track and daily engagement on the hive blockchain, i have been writing for a while but i know i have skipped a day or two but since second week of November i have been intentionally creating a post everyday to see how far i can go without skipping a day out.
Definitely there are days i just feel very reluctant, lost of ideas, stayed on my notepad for hours without knowing what to write, how to write where to start and all that stuff, but i always find my way out so here i will be sharing with every one here @hivereachout community some of my secrets for Consistency on the chain and how to smash that one week, two weeks or 31-day writing challenge as the case may be
Yesterday, my friends and i we were trying to make a video, so they kind of find my username funny to say and when they asked me what's the meaning i told them its means someone who is passionate about hive , and for real, i didn't think twice about it, just popped up in my head, because finding out about hive is all i have wanted as a writer.
I know how hard it can be to think of something and even if you have the idea in your head to start writing is always difficult.
One of the bottlenecks newbies experience on creating a post to most likely to make up atleast the 500 words bench mark criteria most communities placed since we are dealing with longform content.
So here i will share some of my helpful tips to guide you wether you are Newbie or juat finding hard time generating ideas for a lonform content on hive.
1>.....OPEN YOUR CREATIVE SENSES
BY this i mean let everything inspire you, open your creative senses, which is what i also refer to the sixth sense, see beyond what meets the eye, been able to understand happenings around you, in its entirty getting an overall message as to why things happen, what for, what prompt this, asking certain questions will help you discover answers and using that analogy can help you navigate through your entire content creation process before you realise it, you are hitting 1k words.
2....BE AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE
IF You have bee reading my post, you realise how simple and easy-to-read they are, and thats because i write as if i'm talking to a person in front of me, with simple everyday English and words, i am able to capture the mind of my readers towards my intentions of writing, using this easy ways of having a normal everyday conversation writing technique you don't have to worry about words count.
3....BECOME A MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHER
I began by saying you should open up your creative senses if you must stay consistent on hive and able to create quality longform content and get rewarded as well, another key point here is to become a mobile photographer, where ever you are walking on the road, hiking, outdoor, in the office, in the kitchen watching movie hanging out with friends whatever it is that you do, always keep your creative senses open for ideas, whatever your eyes sees let your camera capture the moments, most times i do this often, not knowing why i took the pictures, but later on i get to understand the message behind those pictures.
4....BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR COMMUNITY WRITING PROMPTS
Every week most communities on hive issue out writing prompts, these prompts are better ways to engage community members with writing ideas, so you pick Prompt, craft an excellent writing piece on it, these prompts helps you with writing tips clues on how to go about it, just be open and ready to engage.
5....REMOVE ALL BARRIERS
MOSTLY i hear Newbies complaining about Not having mobile data to access the chain, Challenges with their mobile phones, power issues and time, these are basically some key issues to staying Consistent on hive, apart from making up your mind to become a constant content creator on hive, these things also will pose a threat to achieving your desires, today i'm able to achieve consistency because i have found a way to deal with these barriers, so remove any barriers then be determine to explore and do more on hive blockchain..
