I spent most of yesterday writing and despite knowing I'd see words in my sleep, I felt happy with what I'd produced.
The writing wasn't for Hive, I am working on a book, a collection of my life-events presented as someone else's life; so, a fiction of sorts, but based on fact. There's a lot of me in there of course, I draw directly from my thoughts and attitudes felt and created through the events I lived through and I'm ok with injecting so much of me there, the reader will not know...well, most readers won't know.
It made me think about the act of writing and the way I connect words together to mean something, to deliver a message or concept and to take the reader away from their point in space and time and into somewhere they may not ever experience in real life. I also write for myself too and that, together with the processes of developing storyline, characters and situations is something I derive immense amounts of pleasure from. A hobby? Nah, it's more an essential element of life.
The last book I wrote was over 440,000 words the creation of which took me over a year of working on it almost every day for hours. The first? I was five years old, sick in bed, and wrote a book for a school writing contest about the days of the week. Sure, it was very simplistic but it was something that stuck with me for decades and, clearly, something I still enjoy; the writing I mean.
I've put some images of the first book I wrote into this post. It's a riveting story about the days of the week. I actually illustrated the book myself also...I know, I'm multitalented. Each of the images is what I look like on those corresponding days of the week, even to this day. The book won a prize and was put in the library for people to borrow...one person borrowed it, the stap is in the back, but that doesn't matter, the creation of it was the reward.
I've been writing on Hive now since June 2017 and have enjoyed it; there's a lot of me in my posts for those who care to look between the lines, however generally it's a little lighter, more generic, than what I write for my book or simple enjoyment. That doesn't mean it's any less valuable though (to me), writing on Hive has helped me get some things at arms length so I can see them better and that has helped me process thoughts which is a powerful thing; beneficial too.
I don't have trouble finding or thinking up things to write about; I'm active in life and in thought so generally have something to write about although I know many people seem to struggle with content.
It's for that reason I began the #weekend-engagement concept...that, and also to get people engaging with each other more. I've been doing it every week for three years, (the three year anniversary is coming up next week actually), and I've enjoyed it as, seemingly, many others have too. People turn up each week so I guess at least those people enjoy it, and I'm glad because I've seen some excellent posts and also watched the progression of people's writing and that's been enjoyable for me to watch.
Of course, along with that element has come account progression for many people and some have pushed their accounts onward and upward through their consistently better posting no matter where on the blockchain their posts landed. It's pretty cool. I love seeing people enjoying their writing process.
So, I thought I'd ask you folks about writing, and more specifically, writing on Hive.
Do you find enjoyment in the process of writing here like me or do you simply do so for the financial rewards you may receive? Does the writing process come easily to you and do you find topics easy to come up with or do you struggle with coming up with content? Maybe you have some content or writing tips you could share for others...Either way, feel free to drop a comment below if you're keen.

I'm currently running a scenery contest with 75 Hive in prizes in the Outdoors and More community - follow the link for how to enter if interested.
How lovely to read that you have written a book and are going for more. It's great!
I loved reading the step by step publication, and as for the questions, in addition to painting, design and photography, I am passionate about writing.
For example commenting is something I can't stop doing, but writing is something that flows naturally to me, millions of ideas in my head that I can't stop imagining.
When I was 19 years old I used to write poems, of course inspired by my personal life, but always at school or college I liked to write. When I have to write a letter or submit a piece of writing at home .... I write.
It helped me a lot with the lexicon when I went to university. I didn't finish because I discovered that it wasn't my happiness, but I studied law for a few years. It gave me fluency in writing.
After the subjects I'm passionate about, I not only talk about them with passion but I write about them. I think it comes naturally to me.
My best friend tells me: when you write about parks and places I am transported by what you say as if I were there.
I don't notice it, I don't program the writing, it just flows.
Thank you so much Galenkp!✨
Writing is something prottey special and is unique to each of us as we all have our own thoughts, feelings, attitudes, experiences, fears, loves and so on. I explore mine though writing often and even put some of that into my posts here. I think you know what I mean.
Do you write in Spanish and then translate? If so, do you think you could write directly in English? I only know a little French and Italian really, but am very proficient in English of course. I just wonder what your writing level is in English. Forgive me if you're proficient.
It's true, with writing one can express many things from the inside, it often happens to me.
Unfortunately my English is not so good, I understand it well enough but not so much in writing. To my regret I have to use the translator.
Ah ok, that's fine, I was just curious how well you may understand and speak/write English.
Your "Days of the Week" book is adorable !
I'm off and on about Hive. I have a lot going on in my head, but the deep stuff isn't that easy to figure out how to share that would appear interesting to others. Like everyone, I have opinions about everything, but I'm just not that passionate about many things. I don't find it easy to pick something to post, so I feel like most of my offerings are fairly shallowy. I wish I had things I thought were exciting to tell.
Haha, yeah I remember doing it, I had measles at the time so did it sitting up in bed. I'm glad I have it still, a nice keepsake.
You post well and I certainly understand your reservations about whether things are interesting to others...I think that about every post I do. I got around it by shifting the reason I do this away from others and making it for myself...if I think it's interesting that's good enough. Keeps things simple.
Ah, writing. I'd rather write than talk. There is nothing like writing a thought down on the page and then reading it back. Where I might say something silly when I speak, when I write, the flaw in my logic becomes obvious.
Writing is forgiving, but that's only true if those lovely tools, proofreading and editing, are used liberally.
Many of us fell in love with writing when we fell in love with reading. That's true for me. But it's a great leap from reading brilliant material to writing brilliant material. So, I've learned to settle for clear communication.
My tip (who am I to give tips?): pretend you're talking to someone when you write. The words will flow more smoothly. Then, when you're finished 'speaking', read over what you've written and edit. Chop all the dead wood, correct the grammar, then push 'publish'.
BTW, I love your weekend writing tips. I always read them but usually have one blog or another cooking so I don't dip in.
Unfortunately, AI is going to take over genuine human writing and those who present that work are never going to feel the deep satisfaction that comes from taking one's thoughts and putting them into words. It's a shame really, humans have cognitive thought for a reason, it's what has brough us to where we are and we're now working hard to *not have to use it. Bonkers.
I like your tip, it's called conversational writing and can leave the reader feeling more involved with the text, more engaged. It's a nice way to write and it can feel much warmer for the reader.
I found my discipline in writing with HIVE, before I wrote sporadically. Here I have managed to maintain consistency and I have taken care of trying to improve my writings.
The reward for me is important, it allows me to solve many situations. However, I also write because it allows me to keep my brain active. I am getting older and writing helps keep my mind clear.
I also write with my granddaughters in mind. They are far from me and practically do not know me. I am excited to think that one day when they grow up they will be able to find my writings on the blockchain and by reading me they will get to know me a little better.
I like your weekend challenge because it allows me to write about topics that are not part of my agenda. Some of your proposals are a real challenge for me.
Congratulations on that book you are writing. Excuse my bad English dear @galenkp . A big hug from Maracay.
I wonder, do you always write in Spanish and translate? I wonder what might happen if you wrote directly in English, would you be able to? I ask because you mention improve your writing above. It might be an interesting exercise to wrote directly in English, tell your readers that what's you did, and see the results and feedback from people like me who have English as a first language.
I think your writing will be a good journal of sorts for your granddaughters, it's a good reason to write. As for the financial rewards that come...it's best not to get to used to them as they can disappear at any time...make it about other things and that will take care of itself anyway.
I'm glad you like my #weekend-engagement concept and it's always good to have you involved when you can.
I don't think I can write in English, there are many nuances that I don't know. I understand very little and I am not able to read a book in English. I really hope that one day my granddaughters will be able to read my writing. Goodnight.
A 5 years-old creating a book is crazy awesome by the way, I'm amazed! To be honest, I never saw myself writing blog content, given the fact that I'm too opinionated and find myself having some eccentric beliefs than normal, this is when I used to linger to web2 platforms like Facebook and such. Back then, I would speak my mind through my "wall", and
fakefriends and family would comment on it as if I'm a crazy person talking mindless shit, just because the idea and content go against their thought process and beliefs.After a while, I just decided to bottle all my thoughts and never have spoken my mind again... then I met Hive, and as I browse around, I realized there are different communities with different interests that I could join in. Somewhat some can be as like-minded as I am or different, but still, everyone seems 'free-minded'. When I started writing, I highly doubted my writing skill, although I would still doubt my skill right now, I know I just have to keep doing it over and over and be better at it.
I would say, aside from the rewards. Hive has helped me in the process to speak my mind again, develop my writing skills, be more creative, and meet different people at different timezone. I love learning new things and adapting to things, I think I'm achieving them one by one with Hive. 😃
Having an opinion isn't something to be afraid of, it's even ok to share it but, of course, how (and why) one shares it, matters. Eccentricity is also just an element of you, if that's what you are, own it.
that is true. I feel like from my side of the world, the norm seems like a one-sided ideology and I'm not really accustomed to the norms especially if it seems dubious I tend to question things and I wouldn't just agree as others do. but it's fine I guess. anyways, moving forward I'm glad I'm developing myself on hive. 🙂
I'm not on social media for many reasons, mainly because it's a waste of time and there's little of value in it, but also because it's full of people who think their opinion is the only one and who present it in a vitriolic manner without care or thought that other people have their own opinions and feelings also. People want to feel validated generally, even if that validation comes from strangers, so they push their ideologies on others from behind keyboards and feel safe being rude, derogatory or venomous towards those who have differing thoughts; this, often despite having little concept of the situations or topics at hand. I guess people like drama, possibly because there's little else in their lives.
Of course, this is just my thoughts on the matter, and why I can't be bothered with social media. Hive is different mostly though, although not totally different. It's goo that you feel your developing here, that's important.
Writing is perhaps one of the ways that human beings have not only to let off steam, but also to leave traces. I am also writing here since 2018. I am passionate about writing, maybe that's why, when my previous account with all the money I had accumulated was stolen, I did not let myself be overcome by sadness and continued writing, now in this new account. Writing for me is part of my daily routine that's why I write daily, and also because I would like to perfect my style, to have my own voice. Good luck with your writing and congratulations for your work. Regards, @galenkp
I remember when your account was stolen but can't recall how it happened..anyway, you're still here writing and that's good it shows that you value the actual process and get something from it.
Do you also write anything off Hive or is it just here that you write?
I think it's a bit of both, but I don't think it's so much about the actual financial rewards for me. For example, I feel a sense of achievement when my post is liked/enjoyed by others, be it in the form of votes, or when people show it in the form of comments, which are more satisfying than whether my post had 3 dollars and 5 dollars of votes. Of course, there is always some correlation since most of the voting is triggered by curators/curation chains that liked my post.
Hmm I don't struggle so much with coming up with content, or rather, if I don't have anything to write, I just don't (write for the sake of writing something). For example, I do skip Weekend Engagement on some weeks because I don't have strong views about the topics (no offense though) and I think that's fine. As to finding topics, I think one way is to share interesting life experiences. It could be an interesting topic that you discussed with friends, or an interesting place you visited, or positive/negative stories at your workplace. These are authentic and who knows, someone might pop by and say: Hey I am experiencing the same thing too! And you make a connection just like that.
The enjoyment factor is important on Hive, ,I think it's be a bit of a hard slog if one was to be around and not actually enjoy it; I would imagine that would come through in the writing or posts also.
I'm not good at expressing myself in real life, so I think writing helps me process my thoughts and I enjoy the creative process too. Like you as a kid, writing came easy, and thus it was pleasurable. One of my most pleasurable things was getting a new pen and notepad - now it's the pleasure of the blank blog ready to be marked. Love your little book, G, it's the sweetest.
I am Wednesday - sometimes happy because I'm half way there, sometimes sad because the week will never end.
I'm not surprised to hear this about you, I know how you like to write.
So you're Wednesday huh? I had to refer back to my image to check the resemblance and yep, I nailed it...Definitely you! I tend towards the glass half full thing, so Wednesday is a good day because it marks the downward run to the weekend.
Now you made me think what day I am. I've chosen Friday because I love Friday's and the image I drew back in 1975 for my book...well, it's me to a tee, a perfect likeness of exactly what I look like on Friday's.
Haha love it. Little you must have been premonitive of what you might look like on a Friday. Now I want to find if Mum has any of my old stories. I think she does somewhere. Or maybe I have them?
Encouraging kids to read and write is the best gift you could give anyone. I'm proud to have given it to my son. Look at this piece of writing by him recently: https://mixdownmag.com.au/features/rig-rundown-kevin-parker-of-tame-impala/
He enjoys it too. I reckon he's a Monday. Likes sleeping in, is slow to get started, underrated as a day, and bright as a button.
Well what can I say other than, the five year old me had the vision.
He's not a bad writer based on that, seems passionate. So, because one must, I consulted the ancient tome of wisdom (my 1975 book) to study the wisdom found there, the words of power one could say, in search of the truth of your son's Mondayness and, crikey you're right, he is Monday.
The ancient tome of wisdom knows all.
Hahaha, it's the second coming of Nostradamus!
Awesome of you to be multi-talented. I wanted to write, and I tried but seeing other's posts, yours especially makes me belittle myself for not being good at it. I even need Grammarly's help with using in, on, at, and about in a sentence. My works are bland and when I try hard, I sound stupid. Lols
anyway, I hope I'll improve by trying. I'm not gonna stop; I don't just write for money, I wanted to be a better me way better than what I am when I started here
I think you're selling yourself short and shouldn't belittle yourself. I'd say, keep doing what you're doing and maybe do a little research on how to improve your writing rather than relying on Grammarly to do it for you. Try to understand why the AI is making suggestions or changes to your writing and then you will learn for next time.
Quite multi-talented indeed Galen. I think you're one of those few big guys here that writes genuinely from their heart. I've been reading your write ups for a while now and there's not one of them that didn't have You injected into it. And we can see it in the #weekend-engagement topics too.
Writing comes easily to me when I'm writing the things I love. Jam music in my ear and just let it flow yunno. But even then, I wanted to explore a community I saw my friend write in and when I tried writing in it, for the first time my head jammed. I quickly realized that I'm not a facts, research, science person and would never thrive. Talking about life experiences or writing fiction. Straight from the heart.
Thanks. It's my blog and so I figure it's got to come from me, the true me, so that's what I do.
Writing about things you're passionate about is always going to come out better than things you're not all that interested in. This is why all those people that write about finance (but don't really know what they're writing about) looks so stupid and never get my votes.
¡Saludos! En mi caso me gusta escribir, no me considero tan buena, a veces siento que doy muchas vueltas para llegar a un punto. Llegar a Hive me a hecho volver a escribir, antes lo hacía por temas académicos, ahora quiero escribir de todo, todos los días pienso "esto puede ser un buen tema" y voy pensando y escribiendo, puede ser que después lo borre y comience de nuevo o que me guste tal cual quede.
Si podría dar un consejo es que escriban de lo que les apasione, así es más fácil que fluyan las palabras y al final nos guste lo escrito💕.
Oh hello there, I'm sorry but I don't read in Spanish. Thanks for your comment though, I appreciate you taking the time.
Feeling good to know the thought behind why you started weekend-engagement.
Wow. That means upcoming week is going to be a exiting week. Do you have any plans for it? I am just curious 😉.
I am enjoying writing. Besides I don't think whatever the reward is not huge for me. Except for testing purposes I never withdrawn any assets from here. Till now, hive assets has nothing to do with my real life.
Besides, without enjoying it's hard
impossibleto continue here.The answer is "NO". I have already more than 30+ topic which I noted in my notepad. But every time before writing I try to find a new topic to write rather than picking up a topic from notepad. It seems I am saving it for the future 😅.
Next week, not this week, and...you'll have to wait until next Friday to see the topics.
This is good to hear as the rewards can cease at any point. A user is much better off to make the writing, being on Hive, about other aspects as you have.
Ahhh.. A book! Or I suppose another book! Best wishes with the endeavor.
It is my strong belief that writing on Hive has greatly improved my overall writing skill set. Living the experiences and then getting them out on a post in a believable, entertaining and engaging way, was always the goal. I personally achieved that and would love to put more time into continuous improvement in my writing abilities, but life got in the way.
Once my work life calms down a bit, maybe I can get back here to one of my passions. Life is what it is sometimes. It will get better. Glad you’re doing well. Hope to catch up soon! In the meantime.. best of luck with the new book 😁
I read the word passion and felt good about it. Passion for writing is something one must have to do it well in my opinion, and it means one is likely to find more enjoyment in it rather than pushing out writing for the sake of it, the financial reward or whatever. I've found that those who apply passion to what they do are often better at it too.
Hopefully you manage to find a little more balance and get back to the writing you seem to like so much; you're good at it, telling the story, so hopefully you're back to it soon.
The multitalented G-dog.
Looks like a fancy book.
I guess I do it for both things. It's cools to habe some financial incentive for what o do around here, but it's more of personal discipline challenge. Since I've taken the vow to get the year content creation badge, I've been learning a lot about how to keep going and exercise creativity.
Writing is so important in my life. There isn't a day in which I keep myself from doing it whether it's for sharing or not.
My advice is simple. If you wanna write, her to it. Words are not going to magically show up on digital or paper.
It's not that fancy really, just some words and drawings from a five year old, my dad bound them up into a book and that's what I submitted for the contest. I remember doing it though, feeling excited about my book and that's pretty cool I think.
I've heard about that year badge and a few that have chased it. I'm less inclined to be inspired by such things myself, it's more about the writing itself, and if I don't feel like doing so on a particular day I don't want to feel obligated because I think that would affect the enjoyment or value factor for me. Good luck with it though.
Writing for me ranges from the most sublime to the most concrete. It is an act of meditation and at the same time a way to make money, and everything in between. Writing at Hive has given me the chance to connect with readers and colleagues. What I like most is that every time my approach becomes too pragmatic I find posts like yours. And then I remember why I'm here.
!PIZZA
Sublime to concrete huh? An interesting way to put what writing means to you.
I think it's important to find true value in one's writing, and here I don't mean financial. If it's not something that brings personal value I think the writing could seem soulless, manufactured. What do you think?
Is in the eye of the beholder, I believe. Writing also is a tool to inform and educate. There is a risk of turning the writing content mechanical and rigid, especially with ChatGPT. But as long as there are people who write from the feeling, nothing will ve lost.
!PIZZA
That's pretty cool about your first book! When I was in elementary school they used to let us make our own books. They would bind them and everything and then put them in the library so other kids could check them out. After 6th grade you got to take your books with you. I still probably have them kicking around somewhere. I used to journal quite a bit when I was in high school and college, but then I kind of fell out of the habit. Hive has become kind of a therapeutic outlet for me as well as a hobby. I always feel a bit better when I put out a post I am particularly proud of.
Yep, exactly the same here. (Well, it was in 1975 when I was five.)
I agree. I've done some fictions I'm particular happy with, stuff that contains a lot of who I am within the words. It feels good to know they're there and, of course, the process of making them. Words are pretty cool things to play around with.
I'm much better with words when I am typing them than when I am saying them, so that helps too!
Yep, I'm pretty much the same, except with people I don't know well. I guess writing is a buffer of sorts, aittle arms length. There was a time (inmt twenties) when I didn't write a whole lot, but was reading a great deal. I still read but with the writing as well, I feel nicely balanced
That makes sense. If you get me talking about something I am interested in I won't shut up. Otherwise, even with close friends I am pretty quiet. A little whiskey usually helps that...
Ah yes, whiskey, the magic elixer that promotes talking...and other things I guess. 😊
Writing for me started in the elementary class. I would write short fictional stories and my friend, Pius would draw for me.
The journey was amazing and still is.
I love your enthusiasm for writing. It is worth emulating and knowing you wrote on the sick bed is just so amazing.
Also, it is lovely to see the Weekend Engagement Community will be celebrating soon. I hope there will be lots of Pizza, Yogurt, and most especially, our good old friend, Cake.
Yeah, writing is something pretty special really, it is limited only by the authors imagination. I get a lot of value from it.
cake for everyone!Also, yep, in a little over a week it'll be the #weekend-engagement's third birthday. It's pretty cool really....
Yes, I agree writing has a lot of speciality to it.
That's cool, ehn....🤭🤭 And Yaya for cake.
I am sorry for the late reply.
Well, I tell you my dear. I entered hive with no expectations of rewards, in my mind only the words of: who the hell is going to pay for publishing nonsense? hahahahahahahahaha.
When I joined, I was only moved by the need to write and express myself. Shortly after I noticed the real rewards, both financially and in all other aspects of self-improvement ... and that of course it's not nonsense.
Particularly your community is one of those that captured me at once, because of my short time I decided to write once a week for hive, so your community always inspires me to want to tell what I did. At the point where I am today I have already postponed a lot of things in order to have hive more present in my day to day life. This has improved my fluency in writing, I have never done it this way before, only for homework and school stuff, so I am more than satisfied with the result.
I'm glad you're enjoying posting on Hive. I do also, and the interaction with other people around the world also.
I'm not on any social media, just Hive, and I find that it's enjoyable in ways that other social media cannot be, it's more real and ai think people can be more connected here. Just another thing to enjoy.
I'm glad you find some time to post here and appreciate you using my communities.
💚💚💚🙏
where are other days of the week??:)
oh...writing...it's my passion
I was dreaming about writing a book about my life and my way. At least for me and my kids. To read being an old and happy woman;) For now my writing talants are used only for copywriting (that was my profession for some years) and...for Hive;) But here I am much worse because English is not my monther tongue:)
I added a couple extra days of the week in the comments section, ai didn't want to put seven images in the post though.
I know that it must be difficult for people to write in English if it is not their first language but I think people on above are giving, meaning they don't mind a few punctuation and grammatical errors here and there.
I hope you write your book, maybe a s Erie's if short stories, so that you've got something to leave behind for your kids. It would be a good project I think, and a lot of fun.
Firstly, I'm not going to answer any of your questions because that's not important right now...
HOW FUCKING EPIC IS YOUR DAYS OF THE WEEK BOOK?!
I thought Wednesday was super cute, it made me laugh. Spot on because midweek really does make one cross-eyed sometimes.
Lol...what can I say, I was a cute kid. Something got fucked up along the way though and now...well, not so much. I'm ok with it though, I have other attributes.
Someone is smart enough to hide the camera. Top G!
What color is your Bugatti?
I always cover the cameras on my laptops, I'd not want to frighten anyone that might be spying on me if they saw my face!
My Bugatti? It's White.
I have heard that people tend to cover their laptop cameras more often than their mobile phones, even though mobile phones are more commonly used for spying. Have you ever considered covering your mobile phone camera?
I once started covering my mobile phone's camera with duct tape on the front and tissue paper on the back, inside the phone cover. However, everyone kept asking me about it, so I eventually stopped doing it. Laptop camera covers seem cool, but covering the mobile phone camera can be a hassle too. When I want to be extra careful, I usually power off my mobile phone.
By the way, what do you mean by "white"? Are you referring to white sauce, mayonnaise, or white ribbons?
I don't cover my phone camera. Mostly it's off or left home and I don't sit around scrolling on it generally. Maybe I should though. I use it for photos a lot though, for Hive, so it would be inconvenient.
You asked me what colour my Bugatti is...It's white. 👇
Ok, I don't really have one...or do I?
image from here
I attempted to make an adult joke. It seems that it went over your head.
white sauce
mayonnaise
It didn't go over my head, I chose to ignore it.
There are few finer skills than being able to write (well).
We should all try to improve and get better at it.
I am currently testing the difference between handwriting v digital typing and how it affects creativity and the general feel. I really wish my handwriting was better, although my touch-typing skills are pretty much non-existent, so it makes little difference!
I have a ReMarkable which is a nice balance of the traditional feel of handwriting but in a digital (albeit e-ink) sphere. I like the lack of distraction on the ReMarkable and the ability to easily store and retrieve notes (paper gets lost more easily).
There is something about the slowness of hand movement and holding a pen that is winning out for me at the moment.
None of this really helps directly with writing on Hive, but it helps spark ideas and creativity. I am not sure how long anyone would last on this platform in its current incarnation if you weren't keen on writing (or learning to write better) in the first place. The rewards/upvotes are just a bonus!
I always wished to be good at calligraphy but was (am) terrible at it. My handwriting isn't very good, not neat, so I don't write with pens much. I certainly don't though, but it's mainly notes and things to remember rather than bodies of text.
I typ very fast on a computer and have a reasonable degree of accuracy, a byproduct of writing a lot I guess, and can smash out 1000 words pretty quickly, that helps with my Hive stuff as I can be somewhat verbose at times. I guess I have a lot to say ai mean, rather than putting words in my writing that are not required.
You mentioned creativity and ideas...I think that's where a lot of people struggle on Hive, especially if they are intent upon posting daily. It's never been my problem though. You?
I so wish I could type fast - I probably stumble around at approx 40 wpm so no hope of knocking out 1,000 words anytime fast! It's a skill I really I wish I'd learned but so laden with bad habits I reckon it's too late!
Creativity is a tricky one. Sometimes it flows. Other times it, well, doesn't! I do believe that the more you write, the more ideas you have. It's a muscle, just like having a workout.
I agree, if one writes, ideas will flow. I often tell people just simply start writing just to get words on the page. It can always be thrown away if it's no good...but almost every time is gets one thinking and that moves on towards something the person might want to keep, or post here.
It's quite surprising that the first book you wrote in your five grade. You were the productive person from that time and compiling such big work of around 4000 is really a big thing.
Moreover, your posts always have details like book authors and I always think that you are the author of any book because you hit the psychology.
Not grade five, I was five years old.

Ready about writing 😂
Writing on platforms like Hive can be a unique experience, as it allows us to share our thoughts, insights, and experiences with a wider audience. While financial rewards can be a motivating factor for us, it's also very important that we should find value in the process of writing itself.
I agree, well said indeed.
Nice to see this you are writing on a good book, that's something really very interesting and hard working task which you do, I wish you the best oglf luck.
Thanks.
Me gusta escribir y me extiendo con facilidad en la universidad mi nemesis eran los resúmenes, no obstante aquí en hive, a veces me siento cohibida en cuanto a lo que escribo (esto también por culpa de la universidad) aunque no es un trabajo con nota me preocupa ser diana de críticas destructivas,pero bueno poco a poco espero irme soltando más y aprender.

Oh hello there, I'm sorry, I don't read Spanish. Thanks for your comment though.
Writing is a good way to develop personally. Have you taken the initiative to look into punctuation and grammatical skills or do you just go it on your own? Hopefully you don't use AI to do your writing for you, you'll learn nothing that way.
