RE: Steem Monster/ Hairshare Giveaway! Who is Your Favorite Steemian Writer Comment Challenge!

in #contest6 years ago

Very glad for your 'sweet words'. I am working on a balance. I have been doing 3 posts, and want to keep that up for a while, see how it goes, with the likelihood to cut them down to 2. For now though, whereas i have since scheduled them on a daily basis, and still hope i can manage that, i am giving myself a little bit of freedom, and will only post when i am able to.

Also, i have decided, every single feature post must be preceded by my own creative work. I hope this is motivation enough for me to do both.

Thanks again. And by the way, just after this conversation the other day, i put up one, and bang! It got curied. It was a post i made following from a rediscovered self belief, i might say, after your encouraging comment here. Very grateful.

I saw the curie vote. Congrats!
That's how it goes: you are at your best when doing what you love most.
If only I had half of your skills as a writer... :0)
(I remember asking you this before, but I don't remember the answer to the question, so I'm going to ask again - sorry: is English your mother tongue?)

True, writing comes a lot easier when you are down to your passion, although after a while, may be it needs some sharpening to get back fully! During those early days i required only a prompt, and i had the story typing it self away on my finger tips. Now i have to think some. but i guess it should come easier with a couple more trys'

English is not my mother tongue, per say. My country is multilingual, but English, Inherited from Colonial time, is our National language, used for public office communication and for instruction in all academic institutions, all levels.

So basically throughout my school, and now public life, I have used English. It perhaps explains my fluency. Also i had a very aggressive reading culture when growing up....read almost the entire old Testament albeit unknowingly. lol. But yes, i read quiet a lot when growing up. It helped that my dad a was a teacher.

Thanks again. I hope i can craft a lot more of creative works in the coming days.
