I am in that frenetic phase of reading everything I can and posting everything I want. I have ... half a dozen draft and probably even more half draft posts that I want to finish, and I am constantly having more and more ideas.
And I am feeding off the writing of other people, which is in turn inspiring me.
It is like an artist's residency. The more I put into HIVE, the more I can creatively extract from other people's ideas, their feedback, their criticism, and their thoughtfulness, which leads to a sort of feedback loop where we all lift each other up higher as creatives, as human beings.
It is a hard thing to articulate, but it is a really nice and warm, fuzzy feeling.
At the moment, I don't have a job, so I don't treat hive like one, instead, I treat it as my "pub", or "bar", to have as many conversations with as many strangers as I possibly can.
