Ok I've never been much of a writer or talker for that matter, I'm much more of a listener and doer. I have struggled for years writing good songs, it feels like nothing comes out of me or inspires me that has any meaning to it. This is definitely writers block, but I was never really a writer in the first place. When it comes to creating music I'm easily able to write the music using my guitar but the lyrical content is the tough part for me, as I'm not a very open person I tend to keep all my thoughts to myself, this is probably not the best if I want to write good songs.
So hello Steemit, since I've been on steemit I have forced myself to open up a bit more than usual, I would never write about my personal life or experiences on Facebook, but for some reason Steemit is helping me to open up, I don't know why? I guess this has a bit of a personal touch to it and it seems that people respond in a very positive and comforting way. The design of this platform has so many great things to it from financial to networking and becoming more humanizing.
Steemit makes me sit down and put what ever I'm thinking onto paper (computer). I no longer seem to fear if I'm writing something good or bad, I'm just writing!! And to write songs you need to do the same thing, not worry if it's good enough. Overthinking can be very crippling at times and with exercising my thoughts on Steemit I know it will be much easier for me to open up and write good songs with out any fear.
Thanks Steemit

Man it is great you feel confident enough to open op on this platform. Guess this will also help in writing songs and overcome your writersblock. Steem on!
Indeed it will
This is probably the best description I've heard of a non-monetary benefit of Steemit. Thanks for posting.
Cheers man

Always good to open up the mind. Glad steemit is stirring it all up within you. Get a small pocket recorder and keep it with you to quickly record any good ideas or lyrics. I can't tell you how many I've lost by not recording them. Love the acoustic. Nice old look to it.
Cheers man, yes I need to do that I've had so many great ideas I've forgotten because I didn't record it or write it down
Yeah brother me too. They're cheap also. Can't go wrong keepin' a small one in your pocket wherever you go.
Yep my next steemit purchase
Wish you the best, great job @adamhole follow me @mhdrizki and upvoted me
Cool story and inspirational! I would love to hear some songs from you. You can take part in my melody challenge if you want.
Does sound interesting
Awesome!
Great blog ! while doing something else, this blog was on my screen when I came back to steemit.com ( not sure how ) but glad it was :-)
I'm now a follower.
Steem on my friend!
Looking forward to more great stories from you...
Life is Good @ steemit.com
Wish you all the best in your endeavor :)
Great stuff Adam. I've been having similar experiences. It's a more genuine audience here I think. Makes a difference to the content you put up. I hope it status that way.
Yeah I think that is it, the people here seem to be more genuine for sure. Cheers man
Pleasure 🎸
I like these sorts of blogs. I like to see a real person. And I love stories of personal growth. Thank you for posting this.
I wrote a blog about why I like steemit. Besides the fact that you get paid which is so not everything that is important.

Yes this is fantastic
I got into writing songs whilst on another social site. I'm trying to keep it up. I think I've done a couple of good ones that people seem to like. It's a good feeling to do your own. I hope to hear others do them some day
Yeah it definitely is a good feeling especially when you hear your songs on the radio 🎸
I know the feeling. I'm somewhat quiet on FB. I post, but rarely personal stuff. Here is different though. Glad it is working out in a similar way for you. It's good to have an outlet that works for you. All the best to you.
Yeah it's a funny thing, I think it's the freedom of Steemit without judgement
Very much so, completely different vibe to FB.
Yes totally
Have a look at @leelektrik - he is doing a series on musicians - perhaps he can put up some of your material
Cool might check it out
It is great to read that Steemit has such a positive influence on you! <3
I think its fantastic :)
Hey @adamhole, great share! I'm a new Steemer who just signed up. It would be great if you could take a minute to look at my blog and follow me if my content interests you. Thankyou!
No worries mate, will follow you
Love the your story Adam. I can really identify with it. My writing skills are poor. I had early reading and focusing difficulties at a very young age and never developed them so I channeled it into art and making things as an artist.
I have actually picked up the guitar the past to years and play it 1 - 2 a day. I just borrow a friends bass guitar and now drums, haha I can stop learn these instruments it's possessing me, lol.
Happy u are opening up and writing more because of it. Anyway I saw your link and name in chat and going to start following.
Thanks mate, you've come to the right place here on Steemit especially as an artist, people really respond well to it and it's the best place to express everything, keep it up
You are making a great progress here man. I am eagerly waiting for your upcoming album.
