Charged for the weekend.

Sometimes, I feel I am not doing enough when it comes to writing. I usually ask myself, are my audience really flowing with me or we are just doing the norms of visiting a certain number of posts daily just to boost our engagement on the platform?

I didn't write this specifically to anyone, please understand that it is just a random thought from a curious mind. All these thoughts drive me to do more and there are times I get worried because I can't restrict my thoughts to some limited number of words but the fear of people scrolling past lengthy articles puts me in a tight spot. I know how stressful it because I usually skip lengthy articles as well when I was new to blogging but I eventually cultivated the habit of reading regardless of the number of words.

The rule of writing 500 or more words is one of the things that makes me engage here because I find it difficult to compress my thoughts and idea into smaller lines but I am finally learning to avoid shifting my audience into boredom. Recently, I discovered I was having so much interest in fictional stories but it is hard to cut the story short and I appreciate those who got the message in the article

If you have read at least five of my article, I would love you to give me honest feedback on what you think about my write-ups and ways I can become a better writer.

Enough of that...

The weekend is here and my spirit is high, @olawalium would know why because we usually have some things in common for the weekend and the first three people who guess this thing right in the comment section will get a small token.

As usual, I woke up with a body that always feel too lazy to get out of bed. The laziness is coming as a result of sleeping late, it is usually a wasted time for but I am cultivating the habit of making that time productive. I try to engage, write an article, watch a movie or play my online football leagues, I have been able to introduce one of the things mentioned in my night before I eventually sleep off.

After praying I decided to check my profile across various platforms and I saw something that made me happy.

Link to the article.

I joined a writing challenge on Hive, my entry went at the last minute of the deadline because I saw the contest late but I was named among the five winners of the contest.

Confirm claims here.

I was like "hey, George. You still got some good in you". I valued the reward but it wasn't just about it, the post was screened by a particular project called Dreemport and that was what made me feel great. The stuff made me feel relevant when it comes to writing and I appreciate God for that.

The excitement made me jump out of bed to get my day started and everything went pretty normal. In preparation for the weekend, I did some things I might find difficult to do tomorrow.

Wrote an extra post.

For some weekends, I failed to write an article because I got too busy with something else. It is always difficult combining two things I love doing pretty well so to avoid cheating between my passion, I write an extra article on Friday and share it on Saturday.

I thought it would be stressful initially but it wasn't, it made me remember the days when I do write three articles daily on Uptrennd. We had the opportunity to post three times daily but not all articles are usually lengthy.

I and many trenndians ensure we wrote three articles daily, the better the engagement, the bigger the reward.

Did my weekend chores on Friday.

I usually wash my clothes on weekends because it is a tradition in Nigeria, almost everyone does that but I stopped that for about two weeks now. Why? Engaging with other fun activities prevent me from washing on weekend so instead of waiting till Monday, I did it before the weekend.

I did some cleaning as well, everywhere has to be clean. Don't mind me, I was trained like that since we didn't have a female child we could shift the chores to while growing.

It caused a lot of quarrels when I was in school, my roommates were too dirty and whenever I complain, it leads to quarrels. I love seeing everywhere tidy, it is one of the things that must be observed to have a healthy lifestyle.

Groceries

I went to the market at noon to get groceries, it would have been great if my fiance was around. She would have covered that part for me but I am used to doing that, I got everything I would be needing as well and I am having a feeling that mom might be coming home.

I have to replace everything that I have exhausted to avoid running around when I am busy with the real weekend task.

Prepare my Fantasy team for the weekend.

A few weeks ago, it was my brother who reminded few minutes to kickoff. The changes I made ended useless because I rushed doing it and the team did below expectations.

As I speak, my team is set for the weekend and we are ready to roll. I had to replace some of my players who have failed to help the team, I don't like seeing myself at the bottom and there should be an upgrade today.

If you haven't done the needful to your team, the time is now.

Booking a bet

I haven't done this but I will surely be doing it later tonight, It's been a while I won a bet and I am having a feeling that this weekend might be a lucky one for me.

If there are punters on the platform, kindly share your thoughts about the weekend games.

I believe that I have done enough for the weekend, I can't for the fun to begin. Pardon my boring stories, I guess you stating how you intend to spend your weekend might make the article fun.

Let's relax and enjoy the weekend, have a beautiful Friday.

Thanks for reading.
