Hello guys. I hope you have been doing fine. It's been quite a while and I feel like I need to let you know why I have not been writing for about three weeks. It just feels like I am disappointing the ambitious self and those who believed in me when I was starting.
After publishing my first two posts, I had this predicament of not having content for the next post. Mind you before starting this blog I had written several others I could publish consecutively for two months.
It is the uncertainty of whether my scope is satisfactory. There is this kind of uneasiness for first timers venturing into something. I was pleased by the response to my second post, which is about 83 page views, quite an increase from my first. I still felt like I have not chosen the right niche or topic to write on. I thought that when I change am going to get a higher audience.
I had this apprehension that I had not chosen a good niche for my blog and audience. I also feared that my skills were not the epitome. How I hated these voices. They drag me down and drown me into stagnation.
I remember, before publishing my first post, I had a discussion with myself and came to the conclusion that I would learn in the process. I also consulted some of my friends and they gave me the go-ahead by confirming my judgment.
I tried creating other posts to fill the inadequacy I felt needed to be filled but they just ended up being similar to those in store. I couldn't get to finish most because, in the very first paragraph, I realized the posts were in line with the others. And those that I would try starting with a different approach, ended up being a development post. Indeed this is fate telling me to stick to it.
Again I had another school issue I was trying to solve urgently on the recording of marks. This was quite a pressure and would not allow me to do anything useful. When I am under pressure, I am incompetent in working on anything else effectively and efficiently.
So much more was happening like assignments from two other programs I had enrolled in.
I then decided to write on the issue for inner calmness. This blog to be precise. It was the day after I felt the burden is eased and that I needed to restrategize. It was also the day when I was celebrating an achievement I will be speaking of in my next blog.
I had just started and did not want to stop. It is something that I have wanted to do for a long time, and so I decided to make a few changes instead.
And so as you can see, there are a few changes from the title of this channel, new domain, less sophisticated and that in itself defines the channel on sight.
There is also a different approach in writing where there are a story and teaching in each post. It's still all about development and growth. There still will be a few articles here and there. All in all, it's intended to convey content based on the niche I initially chose.
I also feel refined understanding that I should stick to my niche. It was when I was writing that I just figured it all out. I was not going to force myself into a niche that would make me struggle. My take out from it was to do me.
Let me know if you've had a second thoughts on something and how you found yourself around it in the comment section. And also please share and share the post!
