Free Write For Steemfest III: Going, Going, Gone...
It is not something that I’ll blow
Was never a question of ‘if’ but of ‘when’
For steemfest I pick up this pen
So, a free write………………. never done a free write before. I wish could make this whole thing into one lengthy rhyme, because my writing is most free when I rhyme. The problem is that all the rhymes in my head now are abstractions and I am not the one to take piss on canvas and call it art.
When @anomadsoul made the post for the free writing, I found myself wondering, how committed am I to really going to the third Steemfest. I have been making plans in my head, but am I really going to do it. I mean, I am not even willing to come in front of the camera and post a picture of mine on my own blog. So am I willing to go to the Steemfest and actually take my real-life 3D mug there, when I haven’t even posted a 2D version of it?
The big questions always want to make me take a piss or eat something sweet. So, I did something opposite – I drank bitter coffee and HODLed the piss. Now that got my neurons firing. In conclusion, I stopped f***** overthinking it. What’s to think?
- I am already living in Poland
- I am in Warsaw, only a few hours away from Krakow (bus or train)
- I want to see the people who I have been talking to
- I have been saving my SBD, so maybe I’ll use it for expenditure on steemfest
Here is the thing people. Of the points that I mentioned above, the third one is probably what nags me the most. Somehow in my mind, I have this thing about making things real. I have been spending so much time on Steemit, that I want to make it real by seeing the people who I am interacting with. Don’t get me wrong guys. What we do here is very real. it is just this weird nagging in my mind that somehow, I need to legitimize this by meeting folks from Steemit.
Just like the way when I buy crypto, I also feel this urge to buy some silver and gold as well. Somehow try to balance the ‘virtual’ vs ‘real’.
I messed it all up……………. Shit! I hate free writing. I want to go up and edit it and think about it for a few more minutes and then write something that would make more sense to the readers. I hope you guys get what I am trying to say because I know that I can explain it in a better way……………... but no major editing is the rule. Maybe this is one of the advantages of free writing – no major editing. I think, this could probably be my fastest post ever 😊
I thought that free writing was just commiting to paper what you are thinking, so I must congratulate you for your very logical thinking. This article has beginning, middle and end as if you composed it during a long time, editing and correcting.
Congrats again.
I actually had to edit my crappy grammar some...... I haven't really tried this before but now that I have. I like it :-)
Excellent please photography 📷 i like it friend
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
Very relevant points I deal with as well! I think the underlying community will ultimately make us feel better about coming out and sharing more like a real community. What we are building is surely real but some participants take longer to be as open. Its the introversion in most people...
Yeah, I think meeting the guys in person would be really cool. If we want to do this in the long run, I think meeting in person could be the next logical step...
Man you have to make it, it's only a few hours and all of it will become very real when you realize how cool of an event it is :D
For sure man! I have a few plans in my bag. I can actually crash at a friends place in Krakow for a week. Traveling within the city is also pretty convenient.
Another think about Krakow is that it is like the cultural heart of Poland. So Tourists are pretty common there and it'll be helpful in the sense that locals are used to them and some can be really helpful and welcoming :-)
Amazing freewrite, this is a legitimate reason to go, to make all the virtual experiences we have, digital connections we make, emoji covered chats we share... Come alive :-) Looking forward to meeting you there! If you post a picture of yourself before november I'll know who to look for :P
I will definitely consider that :-)
;-)
If they understand idea , i think that enough , thank u for sharing :)
Free writing will makes more creative!
I don’t usually edit most of my post and if you see my steemit blog and it make people think that I’m messing it up everything. Deep down in my heart I know I’m onto something big!
I know so many people who went to Bitcoin conference in early years are now living a dream life and I feel same with the SteemFest too!
I was a bit worried initially but after posting it I realized that a lot of my original thoughts remained on the paper. I usually edit a lot before posting, sometimes even removing whole sections and re-writing them.
But this time I was actually glad that I submitted the unfiltered version.... kind of makes it more real and effective in conveying my feelings.
Thanks for reading it man!
super interesting opening with the rhyme! I love how confusing the writing is! Hahaha and c'mon!!!! a few hours away! We sure will meet haaa next post I would love to read more rhymeee..
🔥🔥🔥
haha, I love your internal dialogue on display here. I also was like, No, mewmew, delete that! Oh, doh, you can't!
I am also very excited to meet people face to face. It will be exciting to share ideas and meet new people.
