So, finally on Steemit. I was introduced to steemit by my big cousin @fisteganos and have wanted to join for a while now; but everytime I visited steemit to sign up, a quick glance through the front page always left me feeling inadequate and intimidated.
I always told myself... "These people knew a lot about what they are talking about."
So what to do? What can I write about that I know alot about? What would be the template on which I build my steemit account? How would I earn and keep my audience on steemit? Hmm...
Well, I am a Software Engineer/Programmer. But i'm not ashamed to admit that I am a hack at that; in these fields my motto is "I can do all things through google that strengthens me"; and while in my opinion you get more work done and gain more knowledge through google. I still consider myself to be someone who seeks rather than gives advice on matters arising in those fields and I dont think I can regularly churn out articles on them without eventually contradicting myself.
What else to consider? Yeah, i'm a writer of sort. I have volumes of poetry written for my eyes only. I wouldn't care to publish those. Also I have started writing 3 novels but sadly I always seem to lose the plot each and every time.
So still the questions linger, and what can I do about them? What would the general theme of my musings be? Should I be drawn to the allure of steem and write short crowd pleasers? Or should I write my stories and poems that might have no audience. What guarantees do I have that I would not altogether lose the plot of everything?
Well, I guess on that note, I'ld rather pump the brakes on that train of thought lest I lose my mind. I am just overthinking things again. I don't care anymore. Maybe I'll fly, maybe I'll crash and die. Maybe I'll make an impact doing something or maybe I'll just end up writing a whole lot of nothing.
