RE: True Confession: I’m a woman who pays it

in #writing8 years ago

Something about self satisfying isn't as pleasurable, maybe flash your minnow support at a bigger fish to get noticed, maybe they'll take the lure.
Random whale is an expensive way, you flap that tail in a big fishes streem, you might just entice them into your waters. Then it's up to you to show your skills, and you've got skills.
Rome wasn't, then it was, took time though.

Thank you :-) Very good point on Rome - and on the expensive Rando Whale lol...telling myself this is a marathon and not a sprint.

It doesn't happen over night, patience and consistency will go a long way. Congrats on the 'bun' by the way, I've got a peanut brewing due in February.

Congratulations with a big, frothy (but, unfortunately non alcoholic) cyber cheers to my bun and your peanut !

Meet a baby with FAS, you'll not regret that alcohol free cheers. Stay strong. I want to add a piece of advice, I know how people love unsolicited advice, but I see you've tried to find help and not got much, so bear with me. Don't ReSteem so much. This excellent piece should be at the top of your page when people click on your name and come here, instead it is hidden halfway down after only five hours. Check out my page, not a brag or ad, you don't have to like or follow or whatever, just look at the layout. You'll note I post at least twice for every one ReSteem. And if a post says ReSteem, chances are much much lower I will, it's tackier then a jellybean counting contest. Give yourself at least 12 hours after a post before red teeming anything that will push you down your own page.

Good point. I didn't even think of that - old Twitter habits die hard. And I absolutely love constructive 'unsolicited' advice, which yours is. You know, I don't know why I didn't think of it actually - because I'm always turned off when I see someone's feed full of resteems and very little of their own content.

I hope Steemit eventually finds a more organized solution to the current interface (something as similar as 2 threads - one with our blog and the other with what we've resteemed. )

Your feed looks cleaner without all the resteems :-)

On the FAS - I sort of 'grew out of drinking' over the past few years. Maybe I spent too much of my 20's with hangovers lol - but somewhere along the line I went from a bottle of wine - or a 6 pack of beer a day in my mid 20's - to (pre pregnancy) maybe 2 glasses of wine a month when I'm with friends.

Weird. It wasn't even a conscious thing. That said - only because it's summer, and because I CAN'T drink, does an ice cold beer look more appealing than ever haha. Obviously, saving it for January :-)

Thanks for taking time to offer advice - and compliments :-)
