I will always consider it a rare gift, you know its one of those things that gave me hope and a sense of belonging that atleast I have something too, just like everyone else I have something of value, altho back then I didn't understand it well enough how but deep down I knew that what I have is precious....
You know that low feeling of you "don't matter", every body is perfect, high class, so good and doing well, it was really a struggle growing up but then I'm always grateful for the gift of God in mylife.....
It's more than just the ability to write It's called Cognitive intuition* that's the ability to understand or know something immediately without conscious reasoning or logical analysis.....
Here's what I mean by that, I have a rare talent that enables me to derive insight from just anything, I can be walking and immediately I can draw an inspiration from just anything and that will prompt an insight and I can derive wisdom from it, things don't happened i drawing inspiration from then or later...
This has helped me with my writings you see I am inspired by many things to write about, I'm really grateful to God that I can understanding things easily, the desire for knowledge that ability to read and assimilate things with ease is a gift.
This is something I didn't have to learn or try to imitate anybody, I knew I started writing as young as I was ....just by writing letters to my Dad and randomly trying to write somethings in my mind, I would often hear voices like ideas or encouragement or something on how to be better and do things well, they sounded good to me then I started writing them down as a daily nuggets , gradually till it was many and I will try to explain them and that was how a friend of mine stumbled upon it and suggested I could make a good writer why not turn this into a book...
The idea made sense and I began working on my little write up and before you know it I had produce my first manuscript and in 2016 I had published my first book...
This inclination towards writing progressed and I began publishing daily nuggets on Facebook untill my boss one time told me about Hive.. this was a prayer answered cause before now i had earnestly look for a space where I could write just to grow my skills and become better, to me the only way a person becomes better is by being consistent doing a thing always....
So when he told me about Hive and that I could also earn writing wow so there is such a place as #write2earn, although all I wanted was a space to write something to prompt me to write to me it wasn't just about the earning I was eager to just write and see how I fare in it, in general I just love writing..
So I began and the more I do I find it more so easy to write about anything ...wake me in the middle of the night to write on anything in minutes I'll be done, so when I hear people struggling with writing some insightful or something creative I just wonder like this simple something, cause maybe I didn't learn it, just happened and so I just knew that this my own gifting in life.....
