I am Uddydan, a lover of creative writing. I am quite delighted to have heard about this Newbies classroom Initiative from @kenechukwu97 who introduced me to Hive and have been helping me grow in his own little way.
Initiative like this actually help newbies like me find their way around the hive community and in the long run build our writing skills through different challenge.
From my last Hive Ibadan Hangout I have come to learn from the experience shared by @nonsowrites @mistakili @bhoa @kenechukwu97 that consistency is one major growth hack on hive, which will in turn build my love for writing. I have also read before that you need to do something consistently for 21days to make it a habit. So, one reason I want to be heavily involved in this initiative is to build up a writing habit for myself.
However, I have come to learn from @jaydr that engagement is another way to fast track one's growth on hive. This initiative will practically expose me to intentionally engaging with other newbies and veterans, hence, I can track what actually works or dont work.
Currently, I have 50 on reputation and 19.491 HP. One of my goal this year is to make a minimum of 400 HP by getting a minimum of 30HP per month. This could be hard but I will always try.
Based on my exposure and passion, the topics I love to write about are topics around personal finance, personal development and movie reviews. This is because my whole living routine is centred on these things. I love to share personal experiences too. One writing skill I'm trying to hone is fictional writing. It is quite tasking and requires constant tuning. It's a walk in progress though, I believe I would grow better doing it.
