RE: Steemit Strategies - My 4 Month Review

in #steemit7 years ago

You are fun @energyaddict22 even though you, at times, use words I last heard and paid attention to in the army... :-)

I have questioned the attitude that says one should not self-vote. My questions were not answered with any substance other than a holier-than-thou attitude. Given my work environment, this is an attitude I battle every day and it did not evoke a positive response. However, I left these conversations with a vague feeling that I was doing something substandard or unethical by self-voting.

Thank you for setting me free! I look forward to your upcoming posts!

Hahaha Lmao...such as?

I'm sooooo happy that I met you on Steemit - another benefit of #payitforward! Thanks for your comments and thoughts.

Yes, my language is sometimes a bit over the top. I usually realize it the day following my posts and sometimes I regret it. However, one thing about Steemit that I like as opposed to the articles I write for other publications is that I don't step away from the keyboard once I begin to write here. I make an outline in my mind and on paper, gather my photos, graphs or whatever supporting stuff I think I need, and then I start writing. It goes from my mind to the keyboard to the "Submit" button without a lot of editing, revision, etc. (I do go back and fix my grammar mistakes when I find them). In general, I think this is a "freeing" experience for me that is so much different than the deep, analytical thought that makes up my "real" job. I do hope that I don't offend too many people, but at the same time my readers are getting to see ME and not some projection of me that I think they want.

Please let me know what you think about the future posts. I look forward to hearing from you. All the best.

Just to make sure we are on the same page @energyaddict22, I'm not suggesting you edit your posts more or change anything. The way you phrase things is part of your allure. And part of what convinces your readers that you are speaking the truth. Anyone in this pc world of ours who is willing to express himself so strongly must be very convinced of his statements...
Thank you for your contribution on so many levels. And thank you for the smile on my face when I read your blog.

No worries at all. I didn't think that is what you were getting at. ;)
