This is how I felt before 2600 followers
True story!
2600 Followers! Just like the Nintendo 2600!
I was actually going to do some gaming/voxel art for this... But between burn out and an interest in animation, I just didn't have the energy. I've actually been resting a lot more in the past week, and I'm hoping for new clarity and focus soon.
Calculated Risk
You hear it all the time from social media swamis, sultans, mullahs, khagans and especially tsars... "POST EVERY DAY or ELSE". I think this is mostly a valid idea, but when posting every day is jamming the transmission of the projects that I'm more passionate about, it changes everything.I think it may be time to buck the system and take a risk... Posting less, if the time is applied toward quasi-epic comedy (or even getting proper rest), could be worth it. Video is different than plain old blogging. So, it may be time to put the shrill screeches of media wonks to rest and just blaze my own trail.
Will my 2600 followers dwindle down to 260? Probably not, because most of you are bots and inactive accounts. I think that the rest of you will hang in there for a while...
So... what if I fail?
There's a repeatedly thundered one-size-fits-all prescription for Steemit success, but I'm "off my meds" now (I don't need meds in real life, so don't freak out! ☻ ☻ ☻). If I don't start making the content that I really like to create, there's the risk that I am eventually eclipsed by others that are genuinely fired up about their posts. I feel there's a greater risk in being dispassionate about my own content, and I have been for quite some time.It's true that Steemit is a graveyard for good content, everything is dead and buried in 7 days, but I'm hoping to be so good at what I set my mind to that this doesn't even matter ☻ It's time to shine or whatever the motivational dorks say!
Da Process!
Used ballpoint pen!
A new schedule probably
I've thought about a brand new plan, and I figure I'm going to make normal posts on mondays, wednesdays and fridays. I'll be using the in-between time to work on crazy video stuff.
