As I mentioned in my latest post, to be a steemer you are required to be creative. What I meant by creative is that you have to be smart in selecting topic, photo and writing.
For me writing is the most significant skill that need to be maintained continuously. As Ray Bradbury, the well known book Fahrenheit 451 author said, "If you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next."
This quoted means a lot to me, it reminds me that to be a writer--a true writer--I have to keep practicing and reading as often as possible. No matter when and what the reading is.
Reading is like a couple that can never be separated from writing. Writing without reading is like a carpenter without a perch. Otherwise reading without writing is like a rich but miserly man.
So, Steemians. Let's keep practicing our writing skill by reading and writing as often as possible. As much as possible.
