Hey, guys! Today, I have decided I'll just do some freewrites with my Steemit personal goal of one post every single day!
Sometimes, I don't really know what to write everyday! I mean, have you ever forced yourself to create a post every single day for a few weeks? It can get a little tiring! (I mean very)
If I heard correctly, the freewrite challenges demand that you type continuously without stopping -- probably using the themostdangerouswritingapp.com -- and not edit them after that!
So then! Today, I have (ahem) "graced" the with my presence in exchange for a prompt for my post. (But do check out its resteemed posts of freewrites -- I'm just so amazed by what other people can write out there!)
They give you a question for a prompt, and you just start your verbal freewrite! After that, they will judge you by a set of criteria! :O :O :O
Haha, I'm kidding!
They'll "encouragingly" tell you what you did well, and what you could do to refine your speech :)
Oh yeah, speaking of "impromptu" --
In line with the freewrite prompt, "Core Values", I feel that one of my core values goes along the lines of constantly improving myself! I took up Toastmasters to get out of my comfort zone and improve my communication and leadership skills.
The prepared speech sessions were a killer for me! I think I began to get verbal "writer's block"! I kept overthinking myself and I never could get any progress with crafting my speech.
I tried typing it down -- and I got stuck.
I tried to speak it out into a video -- and I got stuck.
I tried to wing it, unprepared, for my "prepared" speech -- and I got stuck, and with a big embarrassing failure!
But if there's one thing you should know about me. I never give up. Even when I keep switching between different tasks and platforms! Coz here I am again! Now starting again to get closer to my communication goals with freewriting. Even if it's not authentically a freewrite, I'll do whatever it takes (ethically!) to make it work.
Perhaps that's my core value.
Being relentless :)
