Why is it so hard to write continuously?
I have been a member of Steemit for 2 weeks now, for Facebook has been about 8 years, for Instagram 3 and 4 in Twitter. Even though this has been a part of my life for almost half my life... writing and creating content is not easy for me. I can spend a great amount of time just sitting in the computer or with my phone in my hands trying to write something... only to give up and cancel that post.
I made up my mind that here I would post one a day at least, and said to myself "how hard can this be?". The answer is very. In this time I have only posted 2 times (maybe 3, its been a while) and tried to start about 10 different posts and haven't finished them, and this frustrates me a lot. I created a great post about a story about my life when I was little, and this was so amusing for me, I spent about 1 hour trying to write a decent story, with good orthography... only to throw it away and go watch videos in Youtube.
One of the things that proves to be very difficult for me is to just have the discipline to sit down for half an hour or 1 hour and write. This is ironic because I spend most of my time in front of a computer and Im really used to it, but maybe the change in the idea of what I want to do is a great inner battle and makes this more difficult.
The goon news is that I came up with a great solution.
I while ago I started a book and never finished it. So I will start to focus in putting up chapters or posts about this book, and making YOU (yeah, whoever is reading this post) to make me motivated to finish it, or at least to keep it going. So far I have 4 chapters in the book, and I will start to put them up weekly in order to create some expectation (or at least to give myself the sensation of this) and then it will be better for me to create a discipline about posting in social media and here.
