RE: First Progress Report as Newcomer

Finally you want to stop by my place again, these few days I see you just passing by, I want to say hello but I'm afraid you feel annoyed or maybe you are upset with someone, so I will be affected.

No bad feelings here at all - I read your post when you submitted it and wanted to be sure that when I replied, I did so with my full attention. I've been very distracted recently with the scammer, coding and quiz. I wanted to spend a bit of time looking through your posts so that I could make my reply more meaningful.

I am very excited about the challenge you give, please wait patiently, hopefully this will not take a long time.

When suggesting the challenge, my idea was to get you thinking about what would be required to achieve this, rather than the expectation that you must do this before your next update. I always find "followers" to be a more meaningful challenge than reaching a STEEM Power target.

I will look for a teacher who is willing to teach me about creativity in finding ideas. Maybe you can recommend someone sir?

That's a difficult question and I wonder if rather than finding an individual, perhaps there's an alternative approach.

I think it's great to get multiple views and opinions. Everybody approaches Steemit differently and has different expectations so if you follow one person's advice, there's a risk of becoming "like them" rather than "being yourself". A lot of the advice I've seen on Steemit has been very descriptive or specific whereas success and enjoyment don't come by "following the rules".

One suggestion you could try, which links back to forming an interaction with your readers, is to include something in your posts which invites feedback. Something that invites people to help you to improve. I also notice that most of the communities that you post in "rate" your content. I've never liked this but in response, you could ask "What would you like to see that would take me from an 8 to a 10?" You'll then get a better idea of what each reader thinks is missing and if you agree, you can try to include it next time. (Don't do what they suggest unless you agree with it - always be true to yourself.)

I hope this is helpful.

One thing that I forgot to ask you last time (and it wasn't covered in your introduction) is what interests and hobbies you have? I see that you have 3 children so hobbies might be a distant memory 😆

Well I understand now, followers are a clear proof of the quality of a writer. You have enlightened me, I also remember you mentioned to write with freedom. No need to follow others, be yourself. And now I have chosen my path, "write for pleasure not for victory".

You are so right, with my 3 little troops, I have to sacrifice my free time for them, it shows with my slightly chubby body because I rarely exercise.
I am very passionate about soccer, I am a Liverpool fan. I like to play Futsal and eFootball. Reading for me is not a hobby, it's a necessity.


So sir, when should I write my Second Progress Report? 😎

Oh yeah I almost forgot, we are waiting for a response from Mr. @el-nailul

I completely understand. We've got 2 young boys and hobbies are a distant memory!

Ah, Liverpool. I've been there 🙂 There aren't enough Sports posts any more so if you ever feel like sharing something, WOX Sports is patiently waiting for you. I'm really hoping that the Sports community comes back to life on Steemit because it was once so vibrant.

So sir, when should I write my Second Progress Report? 😎

Let's go with one month from now - 8th July 👍

Thank you Mr. @the-gorilla, I always look forward to having conversations with you, they are very meaningful and open my mind 😊
