You know that you are a Steemit addict when everything that happens in your life and start drafting a post and thinking about the format and presentation.

You get inspiration from the conversations you have, the situations that you encounter as you go on by your day. that picture perfect sunset while you are enjoying a great cup of coffee. Everything becomes part of your creative process and inspires you to translate experiences into words and shared with your audience.

Taking a cue from my profile I have categorized what I like writing about.

Philosophical and Mundane Musings

I am a Philosophy major and to those that I get to interact in the various Discord Channels might find it hard to believe. The early part of my Steemit life I had written about some of my philosophical musings but of course, since I didn't have any followers then it went unread.

Mostly now I think about the various things that I observe in Steemit and how it affects me and the communities I belong to. From engagement, quality, guides to new Steemians and I even run contests from time to time in order to get to know new people.

Contests are a good way to see how people think. What their motivations and wants are. It gives us a glimpse of who they are or at least the persona they are projecting here.

Foodie

I started out with a couple of #foodphotography and the #dailyfoodphotography by @howtostartablog
I even got my first SBD through being featured and winning one of the days I submitted one. The feeling is very nice and got a boost in confidence because of winning something.

Whenever we have new people starting out I recommend joining his #dailyfoodphotography to get that inspiration that somebody checked my post and if possible win a prize.

Food photography is always something interesting especially if given the right angle, lighting and color enhancement to make it pop. So please give it a little bit more effort.

Gamer

I have been slacking off on this. I have in my 5 months in Steemit only reviewed one game. I have been trying to upload to dTube and even attempted once an Overwatch quick game I was running but to no avail.

I was told to join the discord server for dTube to help me with troubleshooting but honestly, I haven't been able to play a lot of games because most of my free time I use it to read in Steemit. There are just so many interesting posts out there.

I have listed it down as several of my posts in the upcoming months.

Bookworm

Even with my advance Steemit Addiction, I am still able to finish one book every onetwo weeks. Easier on the budget but I feel like slacking off. A well-read mind is one that constantly learns and process new information. experiences and knowledge. It does just increase your vocabulary but aids in comprehension and enriching how you view life.

I mostly read Leadership, Human Resources, Cookbooks (I love cooking) Comics, Manga, and of course fantasy and science fiction. I am full geek mode in the areas that interest me.

I had initially intended to write some book reviews from time to time especially after I finish reading a book but it always gets pushed downwards for other topics.

Maybe one day I will write a review.

HR and Leadership

This is my bread and butter. This is what I actually do for a living and we are best to write about things that we are familiar with. The good thing about these things is I can tie it in with helping build communities.

I have written a number of series about how Simon Sinek has changed my whole outlook on treating people. This humanization of running businesses and leading people to become better versions of themselves is the main core of the why leaders eat last philosophy of Simon.

Steemit being a social platform we need to treat each one as real human beings that need guidance, compassion, empathy and, recognition for being awesome human beings. When we genuinely care and create deep meaningful connections with people that we end up becoming the most awesome versions of us. Together we are better.

So those are some of the things that I draw inspiration from and write about. @spiritualmax and the rest of the Crypto Empire at one point had discussed this question before. Would it be better if we stick to certain niches and do not deviate from what our followers expect us to write about or is it okay to write whatever topic comes to mind?

What do you think?

If all else fail and you don't know what to write about I highly suggest @spiritualmax STEEM Blog Post Ideas: The ULTIMATE Monthly Blueprint This is one of the best guides out there to help you plan your topics for a whole month!
