Wow. This is a whole lot of sense in one piece...where do I start from? The middle?
Very well, when I was spoken to about Hive too, I had the same notion that I was not a writer of that calibre. As in I write some 10 words piece maybe twice a year but for Hive? I felt myself saying No. But you guys then elucidate on the fact that that was not the issue. Well, like you mentioned, I did a lot of asking. You can ask @monioluwa 😅, I choked him with that!
Everything boils down to, as you said, following simple instructions. I do say that life is not hard, it is just where you are that is. That is why those who had mentors when they came on board don't know what baba God has done for them, honestly.
Those three musketeers you mentioned, I must confess, are real gees. They are prominent in their respective niches. For example, Olujay rules in the world of movie reviews and other things.
On the low, one main thing to grow here is that you take charge of the room to learn. Just yesterday, a friend of mine who is a write but not on Hive, told me that my writing has changed even more than when I got on Hive. I felt myself blushing in a masculine way. But that's the real deal too - improvement.
Well done, comrade @starstrings01
That is one of the effect Hive does on you. You were not good on Hive but now you have gotten better over time. The same went for me, I was way worst than now and now, I can write a descriptive essay of my day very easily. I got better too.
