RE: Steem-Rep Rep No. 1 - Mindmap 🇩🇪 / 🇬🇧
Hi Maan,
thanks for asking. My health is fine again. I'm going through some personal turmoil that doesn't belong on the blockchain. But I'm managing it - life is never boring.
Grats for your verification. Well then... let's go... ;-)
I read your post - I read every post before I vote for it. Yes, that is indeed a big advantage for writers who care more about writing than the "profit" you can see when you see my vote: I read. I'm not an auto-voter (like some you follow).
I admit: I skimmed it and couldn't identify if it was edited or not.
Summary? Factual? You like "challenges" and contests, I don't like them. In fact, I only open your posts in this regard because I consider you a kind of "godchild". A godchild with potential. Otherwise, I refuse to open challenge posts, because for me they kill any individual creativity that comes from the heart.
But that's entirely up to me! Many, many Steemians love this kind of content. Your choice, your feeling of "feels good".
Dear Christiane,
I hope that turmoil of yours ends sooner rather than later.
Maybe one day, in my real life too! Rather I think I have been becoming one. I am more grounded than I were a few years back. Some incidents in life make you this way! Im the end it's all about letting go amd follow the Gods plan. He is indeed the best planner. We only have to keep trying.
Erm... about the contests: I have a confession to make. I aim to maximize the use of the delegation power invested in me, without compromising my creativity. If you happen to read those posts, you will always find a touch of maan in each of them. (Of course I'm not a Pablo Picasso😎 in terms of innovation but I always try to write from heart). Only last night, I was telling my husband that I'm putting this much effort in each and every one of my posts because these are kind of diaries/archives for me. I'm going to cherish these in future.
I only participate in those contests where there is a margin of creativity for me. I don't know if you noticed or not, I never answer the questionnaire point by point or question by question.
I will never let go of my individuality; this is my promise to you, today and, always!!!
P.S: I also try to strategize with the genre of my posts. I cannot certainly come up with brilliant ideas to write every day. This would be unfair for my readers too (if there are any ), so I like to post my art ventures. I'm still at a beginner level in this area. But I have been always trying to do such things since my childhood. I love to create art :)
This is the best approach! If you can say from the bottom of your heart in a few days/weeks: "Yes, I like my own blog!", you've done everything right. You won't be able to please everyone with your blog anyway, there's no point in trying. I know you'll find your line and stick to it... :-))
Who can do that? And who can write a good text every day (even without a good idea) if you're not a professional? Who can even write every day (write in such a way that it interests a reader) if they have a life besides the Internet?
Nah, nah, I'd much rather admit that to myself and take breaks (okay, okay, the breaks don't have to be as long as mine...). Posting every day just for the sake of posting only spoils the prices. Personally, I've already "unfollowed" various users because I had to scroll through (for me) uninteresting stuff in my feed every day. Well, my consistent habit of checking the feed every day seems to be antiquated by now. EVERYONE behaves differently here - and that's what makes the whole thing exciting and lively.
I would never want that 🙈
I hope it never happens:)
Here we meet at our hangout spot again.
First of all hello to Cerberus and his friends at your farm from another little fan... (Question from my daughter: Is Cerebrus the dark brown one; one with you at the title picture of your latest article?)
So, the other day, your remarks about frequent posting had me thinking. Well, I'm planning no more than 3 posts a week.
But again, as I said earlier, I will be juggling with the genre of my posts/blogs. For example I may share some very useful life personal hacks, tips. And other days, I maybe doing some arts work. I may also be penning down my philosophical thoughts on one of those days.
Why I'm telling you this...
Well, you had me for a minute yesterday. Somehow I couldn't see you in my followers and I had kind of panic attack... Lol
You have my highest regards and I would NEVER want to lose you as my follower.
So here is a little request: Please keep an open mind when you see my posts. And think of them as from different authors. (As you have suggested me that I have to like the post, not necessarily the author). Some days, it will be Maan, on others soulfuldreamer and then on one of those days, it will only be AMNA:)
Yes, "Cerberus" is the dark brown one. His real name is "Böckchen" what means "small, cute ram" in German.
Oh, you shouldn't let that happen. The fact that I follow someone does not guarantee that I will read and/or vote on every post. It just increases the chance. My feed is relatively small with relatively few followers, but I endeavour to distribute attention and votes fairly. Sometimes I read and vote, sometimes I don't. Depending on my mood and time. I don't like to be put under pressure just by the knowledge of an expectation.
How you organise your blog is entirely up to you. You have to like it, you have to stand behind it. No matter "who" you write as, there will always be someone who likes your texts and someone who doesn't. And a lot of people who vote blindly and automatically, who don't even read your texts. I don't belong to the latter group, that's the only thing I can promise you. I can't promise you anything more and you shouldn't promise me anything either. You will find/go your own way. As long as it is authentic, everything is fine. Maybe I'll walk it with you, maybe someone else will. That's life, that's the Steem.
I would never want that...
I was just penning down my thoughts lightly...
Of course you are not bound to read or even vote each of my post. That's truly understandable.
You are under no such obligation:)
And regarding my promise, well it's more to my own self🤞
Alles klar. Bin etwas angespannt, da ich gerade ziemlich viele Herausforderungen zu bewältigen habe. So in meinem Leben neben dem Steem... ;-)
I hope you overcome these challenges sooner than later. I do hope!
