Taking a measured approach to HIVE
Writing to enjoy myself and not to burn out.
This New Years feels like a good time to get into a new mindset. It is cliché but if I can use a meme/egregore to better myself, then maybe I should try it. So to capture that New Years change-magic-energy-spirit sauce I'm going to make some resolutions myself. 2022 was not that fun, as many crypto and web3 enthusiasts might agree with. There was some ups, but a lot of downs. Many, many downs.
Regardless of all that jazz, taking a measured approach to 2023 is mostly my goal. Instead of semi-floating through this existence, I'm attempting to take a more structured approach. As musicians and 'creatives' go (ugh) I'm about as flighty as they come. But I have this weird sort of ambitious kind of flighty that is sorta hyperfocused and autismo-powered.
This means that "yeah, YEAH, LETS GO GET HYPED!" I'm going to write more here.
Writing on HIVE has been both cathartic as well as... not. In the past, articles that I put a lot of effort into barely get recognized whilst others which were merely a thought got heaps of attention. I suppose that's the nature of an attention economy. I did have a few articles I put effort into gain traction, which was nice.
Letting go of notions on how I should write
Id est: I'm gonna write how I wanna write
Beyotchhhhhhhhhhh
If noone really reads it that much then why not write what I really want to. That isn't to say I haven't in the past, but my past writings were much more focused on "talking about NFTs" and "WEB3 is so cool guyz" that maybe it didn't appeal much to a wide market.
So maybe not too many people want to read that shit. Instead of being a total dork, I'm going to try to be a little more light hearted and funnier. I have a nice dark edgy side to my personality that I can and maybe should tap into. I have lots of ideas, I just have an issue with the whole execution of them. That's basically most people I know.
2023 Ride Or Die
I do intend to write short entries, as well as longer ones. I will still write my thoughts down about technical ideas, but also about music, art, aesthetics as well. I understand the irony of writing a lengthy post that clearly states, at the top, my plans on taking a measured approach to writing blogs. The thought was funny in my head which is why I did it, well that and I haven't write a long blog this year yet.
So consider this my first.
Put those words out there dude! Go for it! I have to switch on notifications and also I saw that I did not follow you, that is corrected now.

You should definitely write YOU. It's like art. Make art for you that you like and not what the markets asks for. Of course, unless you need to make a living with it and work on commission.
Somebody said it before - communities. You should definitely check them out and post in them and engage in them, too. It will get noticed. Note to self - engage more in your communities.
Consistency - well, yeah, but it doesn't mean that you have to write a post every day, just show up, comment and maybe post every week or two. That will also be consistent.
Personally, I'd like you to post more about your music and art and other interests as well. I like that kind of diversity.
Then I shall post more about music and art! Thank you for the kind words :)
Let your personality shine through. That's what blogging is all about. Good for you in your new direction. That's always the best way to write.
Thank you for the nice comment and the reblog!
You got this. Just stay consistent. Don't worry about the results and then you see them start to skyrocket. 🚀
Thank you, I will try for consistency!
I recently read something along the line, " These days with the rise of AI, being yourself will make you stand out than the rest." I think it's always best if you write what you want even if it doesn't have any niche at all. You could also check out more communities this year and perhaps, one of them intrigued you enough to start writing in the community. I see that you tend to write outside communities of your interest. Hopefully once you start posting inside community to your liking, hopefully you get more readers and potentially more votes too. Have you ever check this https://peakd.com/communities ?
Hey thanks, I will give that a shot! I haven't explored the communities too often, but I will try it.
Just do you
