I think it was another three hours or so. Keep breaking my two hour limit. :)
The yard decoration reminded me of something you might see in the East somewhere, so I figured I go that route, put it back in time aways and see how it went.
This makes four stories with five yard decorations, so I believe I am now either half or over halfway to finishing them all.
I probably do need to figure out more than just the start and the ending before I go writing anything, so it flows faster.
well sir, I don't think it needs to go faster. but spending 3 hours on something, and i think it was well spent, a good investment in time, but doesn't that put you way behind on the other steemit stuff?
Yeah, that's what I meant. I meant I need to know more about the story before I go to write it so it flows faster from my brain to my finger tips to the text box. :) Pacing of the story was good, I feel, but the three hours to create it needs to get back down to two or less.
I don't know that I'm behind per se. I mean, I'm caught up at this point with all the posts in my feed and all the replies and comments up until now, so other than wanting to make a few more comments, I'm more or less where I'm hoping to be. The post count I like to be at I might be able to make up if I stop doing fiction for a few posts. We'll see. There's still two days left. :)
what post count do you like to be at?
I try to reach at least 10 a week. I don't think I've made it much past 12 since I've started. That's usually if a few things pop up during the week, like STEEM doing strange things, or something that happens on the platform. Or a discussion I'm interested in breaks out that I either haven't posted before on, or feel like I can add to further.
As it is, I've not been hitting any self-imposed deadlines with great consistency. It would be nice to pump out two posts a day, but sometimes it's none, one or three. It really depends on how the day is going and what else there is to do, as I'm sure you've been experiencing yourself.
is there an advantage to posting twice a day or is that just what you want to do personally? I have no idea how that can be done if you have alot of commenting going on.
Well, it probably can't be done without keeping to a schedule, which I've not managed at all to do this week. :)
You do seem to get quite a few posts out, though, and you're hitting a lot more comments than I am.
I don't know if there is an advantage, other than the feeling that where I'm at right now, I should try to get at least 10 out a week. Since I'm on Steemit most of the five days during the week, and then either part or all day Saturday, if I can get two posts out in a day it means I don't have to worry about it on Saturday and concentrate on comments.
This week, though, if I'm going to get to 10, I'll need to write four posts tomorrow. That's not going to happen. I don't have that many shorter posts in mind, and I could stand to use most of the day commenting.
I'm not there yet as far as being able to relax a lot on comments, but I feel like I'm getting a little traction with posts, so I'm kind of in a transition period where I still need to let people know I'm hear through commenting, and reminding others that I'm still hear through posting.
well sir, I think you've done enough commenting for this week so I think you should just stop that altogether tomorrow, no need to overwork yourself besides you need to work on those posts so you don't feel bad Sunday.
I only got one each day out this week. that's pretty lame.
