RE: It happened on the road to steemit nirvana

in #life8 years ago

WOW! I was just thinking that after 3 weeks, I feel spent and tired and my inspiration feels lacking in vigor by comparation.

I started wondering, panicking, am I DONE? Is this all my Steemit work? Am I that limited? Is this all I have in me?

Needless to say, all these thoughts didn't help at all.

I want to say there's a happy ending to this comment but I'm still in the middle of a couple of drafts that seem to go nowhere.

Thank you for this post, it's somewhat encouraging.

No, I believe you have a lot more in you. More than you'll ever be able to use :).
I've learned that creativity doesn't come in a straight line. We get a bit, then there's a gap for no reason whatsoever, then the next bit comes (and the schedule has no logic to it).
Write then you've got something, rest when you don't :)
In my experience, stress is the enemy of creativity. Take it easy.

This is very true. I'm committed to writing and creating weekly YouTube content and sometimes the blank page is more intimidating than it should be.

I've learned to write more than I need to when the inspiration hits, gather ideas when I'm in a brainstorming mood and do technical work when I feel really focused.

Group together similar tasks so you're not a slave to inspiration, and things become easier. And most of all, no point in beating yourself up when the words don't come -- that can only make it worse.

...thank you..this means a lot:)
