This days I've been finding it harder to be active on hive because my life has been filled with a lot more activities. If you often read my posts, you'll realize that almost all (if not all), including this one, are posted at night. I assure you it's not intentional. I go to work relatively early and get back around 6pm. From then, it's all about flexing my creative muscles and creating a post. The idea is always there but at times the energy isn't. One of those times was yesterday. I was creating an entry to a contest (the deadline was by 12 am U.t.c.) and as I was writing, the next thing I knew I woke up this morning. I was somewhat angry that I couldn't stay awake and finish it. But I realized it was probably for the best, as the post might eventually not come out as good as it should.
I'm still somewhat of a newbie (at least in terms of activity), so I'm trying to make my presence felt. But it's quite difficult when I hardly interact. I decided to check my commenting analytics using Peakd I was quite surprised.

I drop atleast 10 comments a day, which isn't bad in my opinion. So why do I keep feeling like I don't interact enough. I had a look at my previous comments and I realized I may not have been expressing my self enough in majority of my comments. A few times I actually converse, while other times it's just "Nice work", "thanks", and so on. I see some people's comments which could literally be a whole post. And I noticed those people tend to make a lot more genuine connections. So I decided today that from now I'd be a bit more proactive and try to add more emotion to my comments and replies. If I have nothing to say there's no point writing "nice post" or something similar. Who knows I may get the satisfaction I crave.
I've also been looking to change my posting schedule,but I can't seem to find another space in my life.
Anyway, the hive fest started today. Too bad I don't have a computer if not I'd have loved to participate. Hopefully by next year I'd be able to participate. Who knows it could even be physical.
I would really love to know what your views are concerning adding emotion to your comments. And also whether you were able to participate on day 1 of hivefest.
Thanks for stopping by. Your support and feedback are greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day.
