How the magic happens

To be honest, when I saw this week's prompt I didn't even know If I had a creative processs. But, I've studied myself now and I realize I actually do.

How I get Inspiration

I'm hardly ever short of inspiration as I'm a thinker (sometimes a bit too excessive). I can be just be walking and boom a post idea hits. But majority of my ideas come when I'm taking a shower, when I just wake up, at times when I'm listening to music, or even playing games. For me, there's hardly ever nothing to post about (I'm just lazy, lol). And on the rare occasion I have nothing to post. There's always weekly prompts and challenges, like the hivenaija prompt (which I'm participating in, right now), the inkwell, and loads of others. At times I draw inspiration from other people's posts or even comments. So really, inspiration is endless.

How often I write

I write almost every day. But I'm not like those kind of people who have like ten posts stashed away for later use. I'm more of an on-demand kind of guy. Whenever I have to make a post I just do it.

Steps I take before posting

Firstly, I just write whatever I'm thinking in my notepad app. Then I pretty much go with the flow. Depending on what I'm writing about, I just say what I think. Then I read it again and again and try to picture myself saying it. I usually find that there's better ways of saying somethings. So I try to write things such that the reader can picture me right in front of them. After proof reading, I copy and paste it to my post editor, add the pictures and source, and that's it. I post.

I've been doing this since I became active on hive forf about four to five months now. It has somewhat become a part of me. But if there's anything I'd like to improve on, it would be to be able to write more than one post a day. I mean, it's just so difficult for me. Although my busy schedule does contribute to it, I'm unable to write more than one post a day , even on weekends. At times I make up my mind to post twice but it just doesn't happen. I definitely need to work on that

hehehe well i like your creative process -it's similar to mine in ways. I do like to have some ideas that I jot down for the future. But like you - I usually have something to say (when I'm thinking thinking thinking LOL too much thinking) and then, I write it down! hahaha and enjoy it all!

I do wish there was more time in the day though - because I feel like I have so much on the plate hahahaha I wish I could read more posts and support people better, I wish I could engage more, and connect more. but balance to all, right?

hehehe thanks for sharing your process :) and don't worry - you'll find ways to post more when the time is right! hehehe

Me too, most times I just read through a few posts during the little free time I have.

and don't worry - you'll find ways to post more when the time is right! hehehe

Hopefully it's sooner rather than later.

Thanks for stopping by
