To so many of us, Hive will forever be our safe haven, a place where we can get vulnerable, rant, or get overly emotional and nobody will rub it in our faces and if there are mean people here the ratio is 8:2.

I have shared more personal stories and experiences here than on any social media platform, heck! I have shared more of my pictures here than anywhere else because I feel comfortable and safe.

I see Hive as my safe space, a space where I can let it all out, and each time I do that I always feel light and refreshed.

How do you get inspiration for your inspiration for your creations or posts.

It's no news that sometimes we lack inspiration and motivation to write and when this happens we often feel bad because we become less productive. Inspiration is not what you have control over as it comes at its own will and most times it comes when you aren't ready.

Ever since I joined the blockchain I told myself that I was never going to make Hive a chore, a chore that I need to do regardless of the circumstances, or a chore that I need to do right or do haphazardly.

I told myself that I would never force myself to write when I know I can't, I would never put myself under pressure nor would I post rubbish on my blog because I need to maintain my daily writing streak.

My blog is so important to me and I will never put up rubbish. When people read my blog they get a glimpse of who I am outside of Hive and I like it that way.

I get inspired by any or everything and I get inspired by the most ridiculous things you can ever think of. People's conversations, random things, random thoughts, and events can inspire my post and that is why you would always see statements like "this post was fueled by" or "this post was written as a result of" and many more on some of my posts. As I get inspired by different things it’s always hard to see me write in a particular community over and over again as I write in different communities depending on the dose of my inspiration for that day😃

I mostly get inspired during the early hours of the morning, you know that moment when you want to get out of your bed but you are just too lazy to, you stay all tucked in till whenever you have the courage to stand up. While deciding to sleep back or wake up properly random thoughts go through my head, and in that moment the ideas begin to come, the words begin to form, gradually but progressively my post begins to take shape.

The one thing that has helped me in writing is drafting and leaving the draft halfway when I have exhausted my points and coming back to it when my head is clear to finish up. Coming back refreshed means new ideas and new thought patterns to spice up my post and I am always in awe of how this works for me

If I am not inspired I will not write and as a result of that I have been unable to get the Weekly Author Badge because I have not written for 7 days straight up, do I feel a certain kind of way? maybe a little but it’s satisfying to see how I manage my 8-5 job and writing alongside without any of them suffering.

I try to write at least four times a week and any day I do not write be rest assured that I am very much active on Hive as you would often see me on the street of Hive engaging and making new friends and that to me is a win!

My hardest days on Hive are the days when I get to deal with writer’s block, and during those days I try to not sulk too much and read other author’s post that relates to my niche and it helps a lot.

My advice to people would be to never see Hive as a chore as you’d zap the fun out of it, see Hive as a regular social media platform and the reward as a bonus😃
