Hi followers.

This is me attempting to open a dialogue with all of you. This is posted like every other post for anyone to see, but know that if this popped up on your feed then it is directed at you.

I'm a little over one week into Steemit and I've accumulated approximately 60 followers. That's a lot of people paying attention to me. I want to make sure that what I'm providing your feeds with is something that you're interested in.

You Write What You Know

Most of you, like me, have specialized interests in which we are posting about. That doesn't mean I can't learn, and I want to learn about what you're into. I am and have been dedicating quite a bit of time to Steemit. I like to learn. If you ask my wife she'll tell you that she's a "Steemit widow." Let's see how she feels when they approve her account...

The Foundation of Our Success is Based on Other People

I don't want to treat my followers as a pond of potential upvotes. I, personally, don't want you to be my anonymous news feed, and I don't want to be that for you either. I don't have a news feed. I don't bother with RSS on my email, I don't regularly visit a single news source. I just don't believe them. Call it a writer thing.

Your thoughts, your feelings, your experiences, your desires, your needs. Not all of Steemit's followers. You. My followers. You are my news. Your posts give me a headline of what you're doing, and that's helpful. I want to dig a little deeper here within this post. I want you to participate.

He's Finally Getting to the Point

I want to open a dialogue with you. I want your comments. I want to hear what you want to see more of, in the comments, on this post. How can I enhance your experience by posting more meaningful and imminent material that you will appreciate and benefit from? Don't hold back. That's what I want to know as well as strengthen our rapport. I want to get to know you. I want to know what makes you tick, I really do.

I always try very hard to reply to every single comment on my posts, as well as replies to comments I've made on others. I think I've been successful at that so far, and I plan to keep it that way.

I'm addicted to Steemit, so that kinda means I'm addicted to all of you. Maybe that's a stretch. Nevertheless, I want us to be a more cohesive unit.

I Want to Brighten the Shit Out of Your Day.

I want to make the most of the time you give me. Help me do it. Let's build a relationship together. There's nothing off-limits. My ears are open.
