RE: Tracking my Hive Time

in Hive PH7 months ago

This is just another blog to be saved. Had some realizations; I focused more on making my blogs perfect thinking that readers will criticize it badly. But I heck, I shouldn't give a fuck that much.

So maybe this is what I am missing so far. If I will do the same experiment maybe I will be spending more time in creating than engaging.

It's fine to have standards for yourself if these aligns well with your goals and values. For me, while perfectionism is like that subtle habit that entails a love and hate relationship, there's also a practical side that I adhere to. You can be neurotic thinking about your blog to the last detail to make it look good and that's great because it aligns well to making an impression that you're a serious blogger but for practical reasons, the one judging your work would most likely be someone that is not within the field of literature and just casually browsing the internet for entertainment.

But if you had some foresight about building a portfolio online, using your Hive blog can be an asset so being too into the details to make it look good also pays off. I don't see myself being engrossed with ghost writing in the long term that's why I can let loose about the minor imperfections.
