Hello, Steemit friends

I spent most of my time today writing aside the pool from my apartment’s rooftop. I figured I needed a change from surrounding by white walls or a random coffee shop to perceive impassioned thoughts. In recent past, Most of my days were consumed by books to sprout my thoughts with excessive information. Still yet, I found myself most of the time being a Blank Canvas. Well isn’t that good ?, A child’s mind is so to say are that way. Provided with enriching knowledge and opportunities and they will be given the best future. For adult it can be intimidating and we start setting ourselves limitations.

I Am A Crappy Writer

When I first started here on Steemit, I knew I wasn’t a good writer and I doubt it that I will ever become a great one. There are both positive and negative outcome to the posts produced. But wait, This wasn’t just only me…… So to say, realizing, all of us faces that. I was in my own mind pressuring myself without seeing that there’s not one person in this world never faces criticisms. Keep going on while the world is moving toward and we all should never feel bad if we aren’t a great because by not being great is a window of opportunities to grow. The importance is that we are here to learn and share.

Blogging is a great place to create inner growth as you allocate to others. Yet, most blogger don’t accomplish much. They are uninspiring and boring. Which I do think, To be real with you all, I am in that category. But luckily as a blogger, you don’t have to be an exceptional writer. Bring passion and originality plus keep working at it. Everyday now, I slowly learn what works and what doesn’t.


Here are some tips, I think can be helpful to increasingly build us to be an effective blogger.

Learn From Experienced Bloggers

We are fortune here because steemit is filled with awesome writers. Keep track on the writers who are appealing to you. You can even make an attempt to understand why. Is it the writing style ?, The depth ? Humor ? Honesty ?. Emulating style ideas isn’t illegal as long as you don’t copy and try to use it as inspiration to emerge your own style.

Write Several Headlines

The headline or title of your post is the most important. Put ample effort into making it great. Most people settle with their first idea. Make several headlines and as your post comes together, revisit the headline you first wrote. You’ll likely arrive at a stronger one.

Have A Point Of View

If you have concerns some reader wont love what you have to say? Say it anyways. Writing here on steemit isn’t a popularity contest. Write what you feel. Share your opinions and points of view.

Have Fun

Allow yourself to have fun with the writing. Don’t be stiff. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Readers want to get to know you.

Stay Consistent

The top reasons bloggers fail is they simply stop blogging. Establish a reasonable schedule. It takes time to build an audience. You need to keep at it.

The view just got pink and by that I am thankful for today and how beautiful my city is.

Writing an article or story is easy-going, our insights must be truly global, so that all fellow stemians around the world are able to appreciate the meaning and essence of our story, but as you say, it's hard to focus on the point of view most dominant, so often articles that we share in stemit get less response and upvote from stemian colleagues.
But your writing is actually open the eyes of our hearts and horizons to focus more on a particular point of view to produce an interesting story, thanks .... I upvote



Thank you so much for your kind words. And yes, there so many new talented, undiscovered members. I was there once too. Keep it up and don't let the fear of failure pull you down. :)

Beautiful write up,we all have that same issue as you said no one is perfect but along the line we have to make researchs,look for a mentor also discover our weaknesses and work on them thanks for sharing this post i find it very helpful.

You are very welcome ! There are so many tips can that be given.... So to say.... Many better than mine. As long as we keep learning, The sky has no limits.

Very good post friends. Thanks for sharing. I also saw the very beautiful last photo 😀

You are very welcome !! <3 flexing my stomach pretty hard on that one !!

I am not born writer thats why my post are crappy too. But

No BUTS !! From now... Just keep writing !!

great post

very good post my friend..

Thank you for that encouraging article. Writing can be a skill, but most important is that we enjoy what we are doing, that we are not feeling forced to finish a post or to leave a comment, just to earn some little cash here.
It should be fun and entertaining for ourselves than the reader will feel our passion and might even understand the reason why we are writing.
Keep it up @suerisue. You got a new follower.

You are very welcome!!. Yes, some people just have that "art" of writing beautifully. Doesn't mean that people with not as much skills can not achieve. If i compare myself with others here. I grew up in a country which english isnt our first language. Yet, i am here.. Learning and growing each day... How about that !!! :)

Me too, English isn't my first language at all, also were I'm living now it's not really spoken. I do live in Japan and come from Germany.
It seems you are doing pretty well, let nobody ever get you down!!
I have just joined this place here a few days ago and so far I'm writing for the joy of entertaining myself and hopefully some others. But I'm also trying to figure out what to do to get my content noticed at all. So yes, learning how to grow is on my agenda now!!

I am new to Steemit and I must admit that I also must work on my writing style. I think you are mostly there already (A good writer) because your point of view comes through repeatedly and consistently. The only thing I can say for myself is, as the famous American comedy writer David Sadaris wrote on one of his best selling book titles,: "Me Talk Pretty Someday".

Awesome Quote !! Love it .. Thank you for sharing

You are welcome.

There's no such thing as "too crappy", not matter how bad you are, you can find a community.

Though I have to admit, writing is hard, not only because it's "easy to learn, hard to master",but also because it's not the kind of content that is easy to consume, so it needs patient "reviewers".

Keep that fire inside you burning and you can do anything. I believe that we have a kind and supporting audience so dont be shy.

Exactly, not stopping and not being impulsive is an important contributing factor to any success.

I learned it the hard way.

Awesome view . I like the city picture also .

The way I like to put it: “Somewhere out there is someone who thinks Harry Potter is a piece of shit. And that is that.”

He will believe HP is bad writing. But the millions of fans will of course disagree.

The point is, you’re the artist and you’re own critic when it comes to what’s considered good to you. And also, you need to separate art from the realm of marketing. It’s easy to think your writing sucks when you don’t get the views, shares, likes, upvotes and money.

And you know what?

Chasing those results will make your writing worse.

It sounds daunting, but it’s true.

The best thing to do then is to truly feel what you’re writing then. Feel that shit and pen it down. It will flow.

But of course, writing is a lifestyle and learning journey. Keep reading, writing and develop your voice. It will be all good then.

Good post @suerisue. Btw you look super hot in that last pic.
