RE: Feedback Required: What About My Writing Has Most Inspired & Impacted You...?

in #writing6 years ago

Anyway I'm a male, though most people/steemain regard me as a female, maybe because of the way I write or the way my name sounds...

Might also be the profile pic with the drawing of the woman... lol. :-)

When I read any of your posts based on the topics I mentioned above, I use to feel you didn't write enough; you can do better and just decide not to write more because it probably makes no sense, thinking nobody will read it if it's too long.

This is part of the reason why I’ve felt limited/frustrated/discourages with Steemit - because expanding upon a lot of points I write about to their fullest kinda goes beyond the scope of the blog context and would require a greater length and depth than most attention spans last here.

I learnt that typically, posts here are best limited to 1000-1500 words. Proper elaboration on many concepts I could write about could extend way beyond that, however most readers here want stuff that’s fairly easily digestible and doesn’t take too long to read - versus a book, where they’re committed to the entire journey. Splitting into multiple posts is an option, but there’s still something different about reading a blog than a book - and the book format would definitely be more suitable for organizing such expansive, intertwining ideas in a contained structure, versus the blog format where content is either “too long” for what most readers are bargaining for, and there are the engrained habits that go along with the environment of jumping from one post to the next.

And of course, a book as a stand-alone work of art may be a vehicle better suited for delivering a key set of messages in their entirely, rather than blog posts which quickly get buried amongst thousands of others constantly being added to the platform...

I could not agree lesser...now i see the limiting factor clearer

Hmmmmm... I understand the differences between a book and a post (article).... But I will be looking forward to both, I know you can, if you really want to... I'm aware you're 'Cancer', you told me that in a reply to a comment some days ago and Cancerians can be exceptionally superb in aspects like this, plus I have confirmed it myself...

Good luck sir @rok-sivante.

Cancerians can be exceptionally superb in aspects like this

What do you mean by "aspects like this?"

What I mean by 'aspects like this' is something you know very well... I mean cancerians can be very creative, since they are more like the indoor types, they express themselves better when writing than talking, they are more likely to be shy, and shy people are very great and creative when they write things down, as far as I know, cancerians and Pisces are like the best song writers, book writers, best poet, they look very gentle like they don't talk but they talk more by expressing their feelings creatively in a documented manner.

I know a lot about cancerians, because my mom is one, and I so love her.... She was once a teacher and she's a very good poet, in fact, we sit to compose Poetries and poems together.... I also told her to write books but she kept telling me she's too old for that, encouraging me that I will do better.

You're even more skilled with writing, and you're cancer♋, I see cancerians as special people, I take every word that comes from their mouth as divine and special. @rok-sivante, you should look into it, I want to be one of your first readers. And I hope to also makeup something before this year runs out.

Ah k, thanks for the clarification.

I’ve also got a few other placements in my chart that add up to a pretty powerful combination for writing (Pluto in 3rd, Jupiter in 4th, Neptune in 5th, Moon in Pieces in 8th, Mercury in Gemini, Leo in Venus in 12th - might be missing a couple others as well)...

Very true sir.....
