RE: Getting back into writing (obstacles and thoughts)

in #writing6 years ago

I understand your struggle very well, I too, went away from steemit for a while, because I felt that my content and my ideas weren't good enough for this platform, because I kept seeing such great posts and I felt that what I had to give just wasn't cutting it, but I decided to give it a go once more, because our minds are our worst enemies.
My advice would be to keep practising and writing, English isn't my first language either, but I am always writing and reading (even if it's just small meaningless stuff) because I just got myself used to it, I can't stop hehe.
Practice with yourself, write for yourself and don't compare your writing with others, compare it to old stuff that you've written, that way if you make progress it will show somehow and you'll realize that you're improving. Keep reading, and also try to find at least 2 or 3 new words each day, and try to incorporate them into your writing that day, so you keep expanding your vocabulary. It isn't something that happens overnight, and it's okay if the only thing you do on a week is learn one word.
"Progress is progress no matter how small."

I've read a few of your posts. I think they're better than most of the content on the platform. Maybe not better than the best, but they're certainly top notch. I'd like to see you around more often! I'll keep an eye on your blog. :)

My upvote is worth almost nothing, but I think you deserve a lot of support given your talent, the clear quality of what you do and the fact that we're both from the same country, lol.

Besitos :*

No dudes en preguntarme cualquier duda si la tuvieras.

Jajajaja ajáaa, so we're from the same place, qué bien. Y bueno, muchas gracias por las flores jajajaj, I think I'm an ok writer, there's always room for improvement.
Yes, I am making an effort to be more active on the platform, but between work and daily things it's been tough.
The keyword is trying, though! Nos vemos por ahí <3
