"Post Every Day In May" Challenge
Ever since I saw 
So I decided to join in a month later in May and coined this challenge "Post Every Day In May" and tried to come up with an original daily post each day specifically for Hive. It was NOT easy at all but with tomorrow's post already spoken for with my 2020 km Challenge for Alzheimer's Society May Report, today will be the last time I fill my blog with a bit more "off the cuff content" here at Havey HQ for a while.
Reflection
I definitely went out of my comfort zone a few times this month with some examples being the selfies on yesterday's post or trying out "Ask the Hive" for the first time, general ramblings about Emanate (which could shape up to be crypto's answer to Spotify in the coming years), or even how Hive has changed where I'll focus my posting with an honest review. Add to that, sharing new works in progress with inspiration from Spyro the Dragon that ended up winning a Creative Coin contest (thank you!!), which is something I haven't done for a very long time as I usually like sharing the finished product only!
SO much has happened!
Some of you also joined me on the first Platform Project live shows where myself and DJ Pi tried out doing a digital "back-to-back" livestream (which we're happy to say was a success)! A couple of new music releases, one of which ended up on the trending page with 
I posted that blog from my WordPress site (so couldn't set her as a beneficiary) but sent
Cream of the Crop?
But the most inspiring thing that happened didn't actually come from me... it came from 
You will find out how I am doing in tomorrow's post 😃
Long Posts vs Short Posts
I know some of my posts have probably been a mixed bag of short vs long posts this past month and as I've experienced a vast array of content over the last 2 and a bit years here on Hive, I've realised that actually, word count on a post is kinda irrelevant.
Really, I believe it's how well you engage the people reading your post, keeping their attention and of course, interact in the comments and build friendships. I noticed interaction was a bit higher on the shorter posts and on the posts where I asked a question in the title (and miraculously the selfie one!) but at the same time, I've had some great engagement with 2,000+ word posts in the past too - it was just damn near impossible to write long tales of adventure with this Post A Day Challenge!
I know there are differing opinions of "quality content" but for me, if you have an active comment section then you're definitely on the right path and Hive is definitely more active (at least for me).
Moving Forward
I'll be looking forward to not feeling the pressure of posting every day and will probably be taking things a bit more slowly to give me a chance to recharge the batteries/recover from burnout and read/comment more on your posts. I do like just casually browsing and that's one thing this whole month's experience has taught me, something I missed actually although I have loved joking with you all in the comments haha!
Posting wise, probably looking at minimum of one post per week instead, maximum of 3 but we'll see! One thing's for sure, travel posts will be coming back!
So, How About You?
How often are you posting? Do you think daily is too much/not enough? Do you prefer reading short form or long form posts? Do you like writing short form or long form?
Let me know in the comments!
As always, take it easy!
