After what I can only guess is a couple years worth of #threetunetuesday posts, I am finally at the point where I can't remember what songs I have shared with you and which ones I haven't. As nothing is really sticking out to me at the moment, I am going to skip it this week. I almost feel like I can only share new new songs with you here as most of the old ones I enjoy I have probably already covered. I thought about sharing some of my favorite showtunes, but I figure that would probably go over about as well as sharing my favorite classical songs.
You're welcome!
It's getting to be that time of year that I kind of dread. More specifically as far as my HIVE account goes. I have a mad amount of respect for people who can come up with detailed and engaging content on a daily basis. Some might argue I do, and while I appreciate the kind words, I don't necessarily agree.
Summer is easy. @mrsbozz and I are out camping and doing things, we might travel a bit, and there is always a lot going on. Tons of things to blog about. Meanwhile, as Fall settles in and the weather starts to turn colder, there isn't as much to write about besides how I stayed in my PJs all weekend and watched football. Sure, it sounds amazing, but it isn't really that enthralling to read about.
I've been trying to think of a series that I might be able to start that could possibly resonate with some of my readers. I've attempted to do posts about what I am watching on TV in the past, but those don't seem to get a lot of traction. Of course, many would argue I should just post about what I want to and it shouldn't matter if they get comments or upvotes, but I think we all know that isn't very realistic.
HIVE is considered a social network after all and the social network without the social aspect doesn't really work that well. I also thought about doing some posts from a tech standpoint, but I don't really know what I would cover at this point. In my early days on HIVE I had a great series where I would cover new and exciting Chrome extensions. Unfortunately, many extensions end up having malware or spyware these days and Google is actually in the process of hobbling many extensions right now, so I am not sure picking that back up would be worth it.
I have a Google Keep list of topics that I plan on writing posts about eventually, but I know even that will eventually dry up. Actually, as I look at the list now I see the I have 128 completed items on the list. That's a little over a third of a year's worth of posts. I guess that's not really too bad! Granted, I think some of the topics I either combined into a single post, or I gave up on them, but it's still pretty close to a 1/3 of a year. That's pretty crazy.
With the leaves starting to fall of the trees here in Michigan I can't help but think of how symbolic it is of my story ideas falling to the ground. Pretty soon my creative tree is going to be totally bare and the cold wind of winter is going to put my creativity on ice! It's a scary thought. Then what? I'm basically crap posting simply because I feel like I have to?
I was actually going through some old drawers the other day and I found a couple journals that my wife made for me when we first got married. I used to journal pretty much every night when I was younger, but somehow I have fallen out of the habit. I think part of the reason is because I write here on HIVE instead. I've always said, I do it for myself as much as I do it for the people who read my posts. Is that really the same? I don't know.
Then I think about motivation and what are the things that might motivate you to write on HIVE. Even more important, what are you motivated to write about? There is a huge difference between what you write about and how you gather the energy to actually do the writing.
