RE: Ask Me Anything

in AskMe5 years ago

Oh - you know, that's almost impossible, as I have the worst memory. I really like my poetry posts, though they don't get as much engagement - mainly as it's very, very niche. You like poetry or you don't. I love the crafting of them, and they remind me that I AM creative. Many I've drafted, and reworked with my science focussed husband, which is an utter joy. We have a lot of fun doing it. And I really love my fiction too. I think 'Horses' is my favourite - an Australian gothic that was in response to a competition very early on here. It even creeped me out! And I won, which was super cool. But I don't think they're the ones that others would remember. Sometimes I see my old posts, like the ones @artemisshares crossposted this week, and I'm suprised that I wrote them, coz they're kinda good. I guess I'm not that confident a writer, but HIVE (Ex Steem) has made me feel more confident. Being here for two years now, and going through a LONG stage of writing every day, there's actually quite a few posts i'm proud of, like this one: https://peakd.com/writing/@riverflows/breathing-is-like-the-world-changing-seasons - where I tap into some kind of flow. I've realised how much of my language is connected to nature, and my body. I'm proud of my ability to put aside nervousness and bare my soul a little, because it's been amazing being so positively received back - at first, the validation really helped me, but now it's just like this sense of 'me' that I'm proud of. Does that make sense? Fabulous question.
