Serious discussion and question

Where do you draft your writing before publishing it into steemit?

How many hours do you spend writing a piece of article?

How do you avoid burn out?

How do you find inspiration?

    By meditating

that's interesting. I only use meditation for calibrating myself. But obviously, after meditation usually things are much more clearer.

To be honest, I just use Steemit. I don't find it that different from Wordpress, and I like that I can drag and drop images. That said, I also use the Grammarly plugin to make sure I don't sound dumb when I post :).

I use grammarly too ;) and it's very helpful. When it comes to Audience, I think steemit is far better than Wordpress.

I don't "post into Steemit" at all. I use Steempeak, which has drafts option, and I post usting Steempeak. I don't use Steemi at all.

How do you like steempeak, I used to like steeve app because they have sleek design but old habit can't go away. I like steemit because it's super simple and minimalist..

Steempeak is just waaaaay more functional than Steemit. Drafts, managing many accounts, favourite topics (tags), maaaany more. I recommend it highly :)

I heard mixed reviews really and from my experience trying steempeak, it was too flashy for my minimalist eyes xD but I haven't checked lately, maybe they've changed their UI...

To two of the questions I have already talked with you :D But I will answer the other two as well.

I usually spend around 3 hours to write an article, there will be around 4 if we take in consideration the time spent on editing the pictures and creating the collage, but it really depends on the length of the post and how many things I have to write it, and about my mood. I have days when I'm so tired mentally that I can barely remember how to speak English and then those days when I start writing and don't take any break because the writing it literally flows.

And how I avoid a burn out..hmm. I try to write my next article with at least 2 days before so I won't let it until the last minute, and I try to travel at least once a month. That happens pretty rare to be honest, I either take a ride with the train in the morning and I return at night or I just go somewhere for a few days but after a longer period. But for sure travelling makes me resist in all domains and daily routines. Oh and I listen music to make me relax/focus/concentrate when I'm writing. And that works pretty well because if I listen to my favourite songs then it comes that moment when I start singing lyrics and forget my idea or what I was writing about, lol.

Thank you so much for your tips ! It's still hectic on my side but I would like to do your advice :-) since I am stoked to be improving this year...

I really want to take my writing more seriously than ever but sometimes I get overwhelmed too easily.
