RE: Reflection: Partiko 2018 - Why I am on Steem

in #freewrite7 years ago

hi @shanedustin

I do the freewrite challenge everyday. It is the same reason I write everyday of my life.

And that's a huge problem. Posting to often. People do not underatand that it's not instagram/twitter and posting every day only will make you lose your audience. Noone will give you 5-10 min of their time so often for free.

I'm posting maximum once a week and I dont think it's healthy to do it more often. Remaining of the time everyone should spend engaging with people, who follow them.

But then, that is just personal view.

Happy new year! :) Will follow you closely.

Yours

Hi @crypto.piotr,

If there is one thing I learned from you is that on steemit it's not only about what you write but also about what others write. I saw you leaving comments regularly on my posts. It made me happy to read them and see that somebody cared...
Everybody wants to be listened to. So we also need to take the time to listen and leave comments.

Steemit is about building realtionships more than about publishing content. When you give your time to others, they will give it back to you.

Thanks mate for making a big difference in this community and happy New Year!

Best regards,
Achim

I was setting her thinking what you said, and I have to admit, you make a very good point. All day everyday all I think about is writing. My family says I'm obsessed. Probably am.

I started writing a story using @mariannewest freewrite prompts, and when I start writing a story, it is next to impossible to stop, and I never even gave it thought about me posting to much. I agree I need to key it down, but me only posting once a week while writing a story I couldn't do. If I went more than three days the story would die, and I can't let that happen, It would drive me nuts knowing I let something fizzle away and become nothing. If I did, then I have failed as a writer and more importantly I have failed myself, and I don't fail if I can help it. But with that said I agree and see your point of view. There needs to be more engagement with other content creators, and I am guilty about spending to much time in this fantasy land in my head. People writing good content deserve my attention and I'll try my best to give it them.

Thanks for tip and bringing it to my attention.

How about posting 2 parts of your story as one post? It is still the 5 minute freewrite... I agree with you people will stop reading if you only post once a week.
