Every human mind has the ability to create, recreate and excel in the areas of creativity. Some are designed to be artist, so they draw and muld sculptures with ease, while some are script and content creators. It's difficult for an artist to create poetic content of they're not learned in those areas. Writing can be so tiring and at some point so encouraging. My Creative Process will show my ups and downs in creating a content on the hive blockchain.
My Challenges as a blogger
My a writer by profession who publishes journal articles and other academic publications, so the ideas to write is not really the problem. My major challenge in the hive blockchain is my inability to reduce my seriousness in write into blogging. Am very use to the official way of writing, so to bring it down to blogging makes me to abandon most of my post. For instance, the use of abbreviations and colloquial expressions is very difficult for me because of my writing background.
Another challenge is the inability for me to write in the languages of the several communities on the blockchain. For instance, everyone will just know that you're a newbie on leofinance, because of your use of term and terminologies. The Crypto World had there languages and abbreviations. Once you come in like a normal blogger into that community discouragement is your name. Due to the above, I've abandoned somany writeups concerning leofinance and at some point stayed for some days before writing another post.
What Inspires Me to Write
My inspiration comes from the following:
- constant conversation with people both in the academic field and nominal basis. This discussions are some how difficult to breakdown into a social and entertaining items that can be published as a blog.
- Am also inspired by the beauty of nature and arts. Whenever I go to work, on my way I try to make use of my eyes and brain 🧠🧠🧠 in order to understand the happenings around me and my work environment. As a lover of agriculture, it's my duty to take down every aspects of my farming process in order to prevent future occurrence.
- Am also inspired by hearing people's conversation and try to build or brainstorm around there discussion to bring out meaningful thoughts from them. For instance, the other day I went to a restaurant to eat and I heard some persons discussing about language and how gradually we're losing the potency of our languages in Nigeria. That discussion inspired me to write about language and how to preserve our native languages.
- since am a lover of football and other sports, am inspired by the games that I watch and the views from sports analysts. When am back from watching a game I take my time to review what the analysts have said and also my views during the football match.
- family is also my inspection. As a married man, I write on my family experience and review my progress and retract from the negative ones.
My Ups and Downs on my Creative Process
Let me start with the downs. Since the hive blockchain is for both blogging and profit making through upvotes, wherever a post that took me much idea is not upvoted, I get discouraged. There are comments from some givers that will kill your spirit and will take the grace of God to revive you. On the other hand, once a post have a considerable upvotes and encouraging comments, it motivates me to write more.
In my own case, am not easily discouraged, when my post is not celebrated in one community, I'll look for other communities that values my post and engage them. Remember, not everyone will celebrate with you, look for a place were you're celebrated.
Finally, everyone has the ability to be creative, but sometimes we're discouraged by the happenings around us. Sometimes we experience cooled feet and brain fatigue. Don't get discouraged, relax your mind for a while and come back to write. The solution isn't running away, but to face the challenge squarely.
