Day 29 Question by @dragosroua
May 30 Days Writing Challenge - Day Twenty Nine: What’s The Most Consistent Benefit From This Challenge So Far?
Two more days you can participate
Benefits
Daily Posting
Let's first talk about the obvious benefits of entering a challenge like that. Obviously, it is designed to get into the habit of daily posting. As a habit-forming exercise, that wasn't significant for me since I am already doing that. As a matter of fact, I am at day 222 publishing my Daily Freewrite Prompt.
I was also nominated to participate in a 7-day gratitude challenge (and a couple of others I ignored for now). So, in a sense when one is already in the habit of posting several times a day, adding a challenge might be a bit overwhelming to the followers.
Different Topics
That said, I enjoyed writing about Steem and topics about applications and behaviors on the platforms. Those are not my usual topics so it was fun to explore them.
Money
Of course, an extra post a day means some more money coming in. I can't say that any of the challenge posts did particularly well. But every bit helps.
Designing a System
During this challenge, I got pretty good at creating a "brand" for this kind of post. After playing around a bit with the design, I settled on the elements I wanted on the graphics and the layout of the posts. That made it easy and fast to create a new graphics for each topic. Then, I followed a similar framework for each post which makes them easy to write.
Making New Friends
That was by far the best part of the challenge. Through the comments, I got to know @glenalbrethsen through his post length insights and tips, and @michaelluchies. Both are experienced writers and I can learn from their expertise. And Michael joined the #freewrite which I am super excited about.
Also, it was fun to read my friends @fitinfun's posts and find out that many days, we almost wrote identical posts. What was that about great minds......?
Overall, I didn't see a whole lot of interaction between the participants and it felt a bit like playing in the boy's club.
