What I find difficult about writing is that it needs to be valuable and have content . There is a lot to write about but its hard to stay on subject and keep it short. I'm still learning by doing.... Thank you for the motivation Kevin
Yes, because I believe that it's not only about the story and information but also on the way it is told. Hopefully it will inspire the reader to do something with the information then simply reading it. Maybe thinking deeper about it, spread it to friends or even turning it into doing something. At least that's what I think.
Haha I love this post! I was just sat here with writers block thinking to myself what the heck do I blog about now? Now I know. Got chased by a crazy Pelican at a restaurant near my house and I have the video! 😂 Posting on my blog shortly!
it's true. I'm have poor grammar and sentence structure skills but I'm just writing now as much as I can and I'll get better I know in time. The same way I've gotten better at my visual art skills. Steemit is really pushing me more coz it has a great built in incentive.
You actually got me thinking now about how I can help with some tutorials. As a visual person I see a lot of things where Steemians could improve in the graphic language. Essentially visual and graphic grammar, structure. The same way writers here may see my short comings in writing, structure, proper punctuation and grammar. So not tutorials on my visual style but more on visual theory and it language.
@kevinwong you are good at writing, so I to have the same question have you ever thought about doing writing tutorials? Or for other writer this may be an interesting topic for Steemit posts.
Still for me it's more about if I have the time to do it. I have a lot of irons in the fire.
It's like a magician giving away their tricks. Sorry. I may do some in the future but not sure.
I am part of a few graphics groups and have seen tutorials from artists and then literally 100s of people blatantly rip off their style not making any effort to find their own. I learnt many of the same tutorials but I made a huge effort to decide to carve out my own style. It's tough coz I want to give back as an artist but I do give back in my own way. I'm very generous and fair in other ways.
@duanesworld is actually something alittle different than what I have been uploading to steemit this past week or so. It's more of an umbrella of everything I do. My art posts so far here are more of another identity my artist handle Master Control Program. I figured it would be good to post my MCP work to steemit to just get a start on things here to learn and then slowly creep in more of the @duaneworld brand in the upcoming posts. I basically have 2 identities atm the artist, Master Control Program and the umbrella brand Duane's World which will cover everything Duane and still include Master Control Program anyway.
Probably a little long winded and off topic, lol. Hope that made some sense.
But like I mentioned I may do some tutorials in the future. I did have one already in mind but I'm not sure when I can get to it. I need to get a handle on steemit in the meantime. Thanks for liking my art so far I really appreciate it.
True! I think when people think of "writing" they make it a big thing, but it is true we are telling stories and creating content all the time just without putting the label "writing" on it...
I will be writing some short stories in the sci-fi and fantasy genres on my feed. Looking forward to providing some thoughtful dialog for everyone to enjoy!
There is so much truth to this. I always thought that I couldn't write and that writing was boring. However, once I just sat down and just gave it a go, the words just came to me! My writing may not be the best, but I'm always improving.
That's true and there are so many ways to make money on here that a person doesn't have to focus on posts if that isn't their strength. Hopefully some of the people who caught the ride in BTC and ETH will decide to take some off the top and branch out into platforms like this.
I once asked my teacher, "how can I become a best writer?"
He replied, "just write"
I asked again, how?
He replied again, "just write".
All my questions he answered with, "just write".

thesis paper lmao!
all right, then lets start writing
There was a time, many decades ago, when THE MAN arrived at ...
oh wait..
am i doing it wrong ^^
hahah
You've already started it didnt you ;)
not yet, not seriously
the idea here is to find followers and new friends first before i.... wait for it.....
... spread the juice ^^ ;-)

That's more like spending time engineering a piece then :)

It helps me to think of writing in casual way as "camping out" and sitting around the campfire telling stores.
Nice imagery! :)
First Matrix was a classic!
Ha! Agree totally. I JUST sent a text to my friend telling him to post his 3 page text paper here instead of text! Then i saw this CONFIRMED
Hahah that may work better actually! It would seem more authentic
What if I told you YOU are Morpheus, but not yet aware of that?
Mind = blown
Banter
What if I told you that I try my best and still cashing on 0.03 per post.... Great, motivational post @kevinwong
Still better than facebook..

Hahah sounds fun! Have at it :)

Yeah, it's a killer app ain't it.. ever thought of doing tutorials? really digging your viz art. or is that like a magician giving away their tricks?

HAHAH thanks for the laugh! :)
xD okay then maybe i should tag it as funny
Ha ha love it! Just like anything I guess, you progress when you take action.
What if I told you, most of us who are writing still don't know what we are doing. We're just doing what ever it is as good as we can.
What if i told you, we're all just making content..
The best content we can :)
What if I told you I hear Morpheaus' voice every time I read that meme
what if i told you english not my language but i try :'(
what's the language you're comfortable with?
arabic and french
i guess it'll take time before there's a subtantially large community even for some of the major languages outside of english..
Motivated by this, I submitted all my WhatsApp messages to my dissertation committee. They were not impressed :(.
LOL. tell them they're not up to date with microblogging
Good motivational post for those who are reluctant to write...keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
Writing in is important, but grammar is importanter.
Checks out. Importanter is more important than important.
True! I think when people think of "writing" they make it a big thing, but it is true we are telling stories and creating content all the time just without putting the label "writing" on it...
I'll somehow fault the grading system in schools..
What i told you that.... actually i have nothing much to tell... have a great day haha
It just means u have something better to do ;)
So true! I never can think of a topic to write on until I start to write!
Ull get more ideas once u start :)
haha I love the way you did this. Humorous and creative way to get such an important point across. Big up @kevinwong
I wanted to tag funny but didn't know if its funny lol . thanks dude :)
haha you still can... I think .. but ya man good looks!
What if I told you writing was actually channeling?
So does that consume mana points?
I will be writing some short stories in the sci-fi and fantasy genres on my feed. Looking forward to providing some thoughtful dialog for everyone to enjoy!
Looking forward! There's also a good amount of scifi writers on board :)
What if I told you there is no writing only editing
Mind = blown x3
There is so much truth to this. I always thought that I couldn't write and that writing was boring. However, once I just sat down and just gave it a go, the words just came to me! My writing may not be the best, but I'm always improving.
Yeah thoughts just come to us as long as we want it..
Nice try lol..
It was worth a shot ;)
I wonder how many people are here on Steemit afraid to put up a post.
I know a lot of people don't sign up for Steemit because of that. They think they are going to fail so it is easier not to try.
Well it's not a necessity.. but it's an immediate upgrade from older platforms..
That's true and there are so many ways to make money on here that a person doesn't have to focus on posts if that isn't their strength. Hopefully some of the people who caught the ride in BTC and ETH will decide to take some off the top and branch out into platforms like this.
Press all the buttons!

It's a different journey for each person, so yeah Just Write :)
What if i told you .... Follow me and Upvote my post everyone, but how many will!?
Half the population are just plain rebels and don't like to be told xD
Try to manage dark souls..
I like the second one - it's definitely true for me. Once I start typing, it all just starts to flow.
I find it harder to write nowadays tbh, seeing that so many things are actually related to each other. I think u get what i mean :) lol
What if I don't tell you?! :)))
My loss!
What if I told you you...
...that both of those pills contained MDMA.
you've been misinformed by your dealer :)
Motivational Morpheus makes very valid statements. what if i told you managing work - life - steemit is tough, but i'll do it thanks to Morpheous :)
Morpheus talks too much anyway lol
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)A really good read thank you for sharing
