RE: Selling Slivers of Self on Steemit
I love your Salty Rants(TM). It does sometimes feel like you need to keep cutting off bits of yourself, but I think we are all salamanders to some degree. Life experience is ongoing. The sunset you watched last night, the cardinal mates who visited your feeder, the dialog you heard in the street that put a little zip in your step that day... all those things happen in real time and add to your blog fodder.
And as someone suggested, if you don’t want to share stuff from your life or bare your embarrassing personal bits (and if you are so called), you can always write fiction, or poetry. And of course there’s memes and political diatribes, stock market predictions, recipes, and advice on manners, or what have you.
See, I have no end of things to write about. I just don’t have enough time to do it. Will you write a Salty Rant(TM) about that for me, @negativer?
I like the salamander comparison. Or maybe it's like the old forever-bubbling pot of soup/stew they used to keep on a simmer in kitchens in olden days. People keep eating from it, and you just keep adding new ingredients. There's a similar concept in beer making; you keep adding new beer to be fermented in a large container as you drink it off. So the stuff you're drinking is always aging and changing, depending on what you add and when you drink it.
Anyway. I like your view of it. :)
I like the stew and brew analogies! I always wondered if that was really true, how they used to just keep adding stuff to the pot. Or is it just folklore?
It's a thing! And now I know what it's called: perpetual stew

Oh my, it is a thing!
