RE: Mmmm Yeah Baby, Put It In My Reward Pool

in #steemit7 years ago

I like your posts because you have the balls to say stuff that others don't. I had never given any thought to the "views" aspect of steemit prior to this post. Heck, affiliate marketing through steemit seems a great idea.

I have an off topic question for you though. My writing is average. But I want to know how do I take it to @yallapapi level? Apart from listening to a fuckload of audiobooks did you something else to improve your writing?(both speed and quality)

I will make a post about this soon. The short version is that you need to let go of your fear that you will be judged negatively for what you write. When I wrote this post, I was legit scared to come and read the comments. Why? Because I knew I would touch a nerve with some people and I didn't want to read any negative feedback.

LOL this is already not turning into the short version, so I'll just say this: write from the heart, write with emotion, and read your post at least 5 times before clicking the publish button. Good writing is rewriting.

Apart from listening to a fuckload of audiobooks did you something else to improve your writing?(both speed and quality)

Nothing to directly improve my writing. I find that audiobooks unrelated to writing help me to convey concepts that are interesting to readers better than direct, "10 steps to become a better writer" shit.

FWIW I also used to obsessively play MUDs as a teen where you can only express yourself via text. I'm sure that helped.

Thanks dude! I appreciate the help.

BTW don't worry about the haters, your writings are awesome.
See ya!
