When I started hive it was all fun, the stories, goodwill messages, great talks about hive. Then , just the praises alone will force you / motivate you to open your notepad and start writing. Although everything in this world is draining and comes with some kind of stress, we still do what is necessary and what needs to be done.
Even before now , writing everyday , scrolling through the hive platform to search for communities of your interest was always a bit tasky but the motivation was there because of the expectations and outcome. Normally, hive helped me a lot, because there are things I do love to say but instead of saying it verbally I do prefer penning it down. So is one of such platform that has always helped me to express myself the way I like , read and also see things from other people's perspective. Writing on hive has also helped me in the aspect of thinking creative writing, thinking deep about a particular topic before writing and writing base on how you understand the topic.
Although all these was and is still a bit time consuming , because of other activities that we are always engaged in on daily basis, but I can't say that it's totally draining. I can only say that the motivation to just wake up even at the middle of the night to write knowing that the reward that comes with it will worth the sleepless night has reduce. If we want to be honest , we will agree that 80 percent of people doing hive did it because of the reward attached. Because no matter how passionate you are about something , you must need fuel to drive that passion and the fuel here is the reward.
In summary, hive is not that draining , it's just that the motivation is gradually reducing. But the truth is, we will keep holding on.
