by now you know i am not that good of a writer; i can't write on the top of my head! i don't know how people do it; but i really can't!.

in this post i will try to describe the fear of a blank page; i will try to describe my journey writing this post!

by now i don't know what to write about! i tried to do a "travel" post but let's face it; we are trying to make hive a place where we share great ideas and not just another place for wikipedia! and tbh i like traveling i really do. i like that someday i could just have fill a backpack and move to a country for a week or 2; but it won't be hapening any time soon!

by now i remembered that i didn't write a proper "intro" post; but i will do it! it just that i am afraid of not writing a good post or maybe writing something that will offend someone or i don't know.... maybe i am just lazy! but i will try to write a post soon fingers crossed

when browsing hive posts (i mainly do it in @ecency or @peakd) i get descorage by the quality of the posts; but i always try to remember that everyone has to start somewhere. to be clear i never in my life tried to write a long post in english on the top of my head! all i did so far is getting from here and getting from there and kinda trying to pace stuff together and using clears throat chatgpt; but i promise you guys that from now on i will not use chatgpt to write a post in hive again!

by now (if you are still reading) you are REALLY noticing that i am a bad writer; sorry but i will try to be better by the day!

i don't know what to write about; i don't know if anyone will even read anything i write! but i will try to write and only write!

i read about jamesclear (the habit writer guy) how he made himself write 2 times a week to overcome laziness; he said something about how he became a better writer and his blog really blew up after sometime! well... i am no james clear, english is not my first language; and i am really bad at a lot of things (including punctuations 😅); but i will do it. from now on i will write atleast 2 posts a week for the rest of life. i will also try and learn about writing; i read somewhere that "good writers are better readers" or something like that! i will try to read a lot.

i just checked the preview and WOW (400+ words) i am really sorry if you made it this far; i know for sure that you didn't take anything useful with you. this was just sort of a rant about me!

i glanced at the title and guess what; the fear is totally gone, maybe it will come back next time i try to write; but i will remind my self of this post!

this was my small (and stupid 😅) journey on how i maybe overcame the fear of the blank page! i know have a fear of what my next post is gonna be about! i will try to catch some ideas for the next time!

maybe one thing you have to take from this "post" is that you shouldn't ever fear of a blank page; just keep writing and the ideas will flow to you and you maybe strike gold!

thanks so much if you made it to this line; it means the world to me! i hope i can hear what you think; or maybe some tips i can take and include in my next work!

To improve the craft of writing, some authors recommend keeping a notebook or digital journal to jot down ideas when they come to you. They don't have to be good ideas, they can be bad ideas, but the key point is to write them down fast without worrying about spelling or grammar. A journal can also be used to write what you see around you to practice how to describe things. As you build a record of ideas, you'll have plenty of material to draw upon. Try to connect your ideas for even more creative output. Don't forget to enjoy the process of writing and improving your craft. Good luck!

thanks. i will try to keep a note app/book beside me at all times from now on :)
