RE: The Value of Consistency and Perseverance
That's it! I've held a lecture on the same topic 11 months ago. That's the 'big secret'. These two skills are basically my only weapons.
I'm not talented and my copywriting is an ugly attempt to imitate the masters. I'm still missing on using thousands of synonyms that are making every story an exciting journey. English isn't my native language. And I'm still trying to overcome all those facts.
By the way, what I like is that we are almost in the same boat: I have one main eBay store. Will be soon testing with a separate eCommerce store. And I'm currently trying to be a writer - in reality I'm simply trying to improve my writing skills.
@steemfluencer, you touch on something I was thinking about, as I was responding to comments on this post: I don't have a great deal of natural creative talent at anything; nor am I brilliantly inventive. In a sense, I guess we are able to "fill in" where we feel we are lacking with a "workmanlike" determination. I know I have what it takes to do "well" at many things, but harbor no illusions that I have the brilliance that will make "front page news."
And I am really OK with that. And English is not my native language, either...
Cool @denmarkguy! Let me add one last sentence that I feel we are missing here. No matter where our starting point is, we should never forget that consistency and perseverance made people Olympic champions, they've broke any kind of records and many of them are today's role models and legends that kids are imitating and following.
I'm reading inspiring stories everyday and working on improving my writing skills. I think I already have the potential to perform a small contest or better say a challenge on creative writing. I would choose @merej99 as a patron (hopefully I'm using the right word) of the event.
It will involve 9 rounds and each challenger will have to participate with 9 different posts over a certain period of time - 9-12 days sounds reasonable.
For me @merej99's challenge was designed to help few of us in their routine building activities on writing regularly and interacting consistently in a genuine way. The creative writing challenge will open another kind of opportunity and help people practice their creativity. At this stage any kind of opinions will be highly valued.
