Valuable reflection about Writing in the Hive-net. 
I agree about using Actifit. Just in this moment i am trying to complete my 10K  daily steps (my personal goal).
I was just thinking how grateful i am with those who daily show up and take the time to walk over my blog/post. 
With Actifit i get forced myself to post every day. In addition, i try to do an extra post about other subject. The difficult part, as you mentioned too, is to begin… 
Thanks again!

What I find works well for me are bullet points. I have a massive text document of bullet points, sometimes ideas I won't explore, but at other times, I will elaborate. My content creation workflow is usually as follows:

1. I create a bullet point list, and in most cases, it might be a question or headline
2. When I want to explore that idea, I'll create a sub-bullet point list nested beneath that bullet point and then elaborate. Sometimes it will be in the form of questions or one-liners
3. The criteria need to be relevant to Hive, engaging and well-written
4. My content needs to, where possible, be at least 400 words
5. I generate copyright-free images using MidJourney AI or DALL-E

The whole SBF and cryptocurrency situation fuelled a few interesting article ideas for me, especially when SBF was arrested. I find even writing stories inspired by real events to be a wonderful source of inspiration. Writing is like riding a bike, it can be hard to get started, but once you start pedalling, it does flow. Case in point, I've posted a story every day for the last two weeks, almost all thanks to my bullet point workflow. I also use the scheduling feature on LeoFinance and Peak'd to schedule posts.

The only consistency I have in inconsistency.

A possibly easier way to get started is to do commenting. Read a post that interest her, then say something in agreement, in disagreement, in addition, or even a correction. 

Outside of Hive, content creation is not dictated by just the form of the content. There's no rules that the creator need to create the first character to the last period. Curation is also a common and legit form of content.

Another point you may have missed is Education. Writing can be taught. Up to a certain level. Of course not everyone has the flair to be a bestseller author, but many could learn to write well, and write effectively. Do not let PERFECTION be the enemy of GOOD.

I think i am similar to your friend. I think when you look at blog posts you think to yourself anybody can do that. It's not as easy as it looks. Not only do you need to express yourself you need to be engaging, come up with content and be able to display the content that will create curiosity. Also as you said commitment there is so much to it.

I'm lucky in that I have a guitar and there are weekly things like Hive Open Mic, Three Tunes Tuesday and more recently the Hive Music Festival.  I've made a habit of my own music post on Thursdays too... So that's four a week I'm committed to, and there are usually one or two others about other aspects of my life and interests.
I think the trick for the less naturally disciplined would be to find a way to lock into weekly posts... Wednesday Walks, Weekend Experiences, Foodies, whatever it may be...

Time permitting it's a good habit to arrive and greet/read as many people as able, write content one day, preparation one day I find time wise very difficult to manage a post every day.

Presenting something of interest to those topics that excite you makes writing a lot easier, strokes for different folks, each should try comment if unable to produce that too assists raising ones confidence.

It's because she thinks you're big that's why she thinks it flows easily. But unfortunately if you're not talking about your dogs and cats, content creation is difficult.

Thanks for sharing, Discipline, Commitment, and motivation from other Hivers.
To have a successful journey on Hive really isn't easy.
Many times I have started and I stopped again.
Hopefully we will learn to pick up and be consistent at it because truly in the long run, it helps you to become better.

You are not the only one. Some days I feel like writing four posts. Ideas and news fuel it well.
Some days I do not know where to start and I feel overwhelmed to mess up that content creation drama of mine.

If you are stress, that content is gone before you can put it down in writing. Being cool and positive help a bunch.

Very true bro, am so used to Actifit that I feel weird if I don't post. I always wanted to post on leo finance  but I don't have the time, discipline to sit, research and post. Am yet to get time to learn splinterlands too, am always out taking pics for Actifit. Hopefully I get there. Thank you for sharing and keep enjoying your week :}

Wow Joe. This is such a motivational post. I see fro. The comments as well. Discipline, Commitment, Consistency and passion as @readthisplease has said. I also like what other Hivians suggested 
 to planning, and also engaging. 

Thanks Joe. Please keep me accountable...guys can we do that? Discipline is really not my strong point. I get overwhelmed when I have to write. 

And thank you. I will not take it too serious as I did. 

at this point, my consistent writing on hive is based on discipline and possible addiction, its almost impossible not to write on Hive. to be consistent you have to passion, that passion will always give you reasons to stand up and write
