RE: On Branding, Writing Without Focus, And A Growing Quietness Of Mind

in #writing7 years ago

Well said winstonalden. We must be connected together in a frenetic stream of consciousness :) I have found that my unsettled mind has been a strength, as I am able to move from project to project with the greatest of ease. Once I developed the ground-rule that things had to get completed, my output as a creator increased dramatically.

Now that I am here in Steemit (1 week) I am finding that, like you I am writing about any number of topics that interest me at that moment. I too find that in responding to an article I get carried away and write enough for a posting of my own. Much like I am doing here now hahahahahaha.

Anyway, at this point I am just riding the stream of consciousness wave in my own postings and I plan to consider which areas of interest warrant focus later. I agree that while laying everything out on a spreadsheet may be logistically sound it may take the spontaneity out of it. This happened to me with YouTube. After millions of views there I was in a content rut that I COULD NOT get out of.

Well thanks for this posting. I appreciate you sharing.
Upvoted and following.
Cheers,

Thanks for taking the time to comment, @buckydurddle.

Yes, sometimes a scattered mind can be put to great use, if we can find the right way to harness it.

The other nice thing about Steemit is that it gives us an incentive to write, and then edit, and then publish. I've got so many notebooks full of unfinished and unshared stories, and what's the point of that?

Agreed. I too have many orphan projects that need a home. Perhaps we need to come up for a Steem-Dump haha.
