I've heard writers complain of "writer's block". Which is a word that describes a phenomenon where a writer is unable to continue writing a piece, or can't even start something new. I'm not a writer per se, but I can write when I want to.
The major setback for me is my inability to come up with fresh ideas to write about. And that's what makes writing difficult for me.
For photography, it's pretty easy. I see things everyday, and these daily occurrences form images in my head that I can create. Those images are what I've been sharing for a while now.
I've tons of photographs that I can share everyday. But as I've progressed on Hive, I don't want it to be the only thing I'm known for. I want to write cool stuff too. And I tried to. I started a series called "Now you know". It's a series I setup to share stuff about me. And I was only able to publish two episodes.
Two factors ensured that I was unable to continue the series.
- Not knowing what to write about.
- Lack of traction.
Those are the two reasons why I couldn't continue writing. The second point is the major reason though.
The first point can be rephrased as "not knowing interesting stuff to write about". But even after I'm able to find something cool to write about, it doesn't seem to attract anyone. Few people that I've related to non photography content that I've written are;

@bil.pragI appreciate them checking my stuff out. However it seems people react to my photographs more than writing. But I'll love to show there's more I can do than just share photos.
Unlike my photographs, where I don't exactly mind if people like it, I want people to like the stuff I write. I feel it is the best way to connect with people on a personal basis. So help me please.
What can I write about that you'll find interesting?
I figured writing about myself is boring. So I need to know what else I can write about .
Oh! And this post would serve as a determiner to know if people check out my articles or are only attracted to the photos I publish. Would you be interested in software reviews? I'm pretty good at that. Or should I write about what my dream house looks like? I guess those would be boring too 馃槱.
