The Re-introduce Yourself Post - Hello Steemians!
For those of you that already know who I am from the activity I have posted under @plushzilla you can probably skip most of this post...
You are probably wondering why I have created this second account and there are many reasons including:
I am unable to delegate or transfer SP/SBD from the account in the immediate future, so I want to continue helping newcomers and until Steemit allows me to recover the account I will only be able to post, upvote and resteem over there.
I feel like I should be dedicating an account to the initiatives I am running instead of mixing it all together like I have been doing before, which is something I have learnt from the more experienced users.
I think sometimes you get too caught up in what you are doing and just need to make a fresh start, so why not do it now.
For those who don't know who I am, please continue reading so I can tell you about myself on Steemit so you can get a better idea about me both as someone from the outside world, but more importantly it gives you a much better understanding of me in Steemitopia.
WHO AM I?
Like many people who started out on Steemit, I brought my interests and skills from the outside world into this community that welcomed me with open arms.
An origamist:
- My entry for the Hobby Hub Contest: https://steemit.com/hobbyhub/@plushzilla/entry-for-the-hobby-hub-challenge-miniature-origami-using-flower-petals
A UX Designer:
- My submissions for Utopian.io: https://utopian.io/@plushzilla
- My design for the blockchainbi logo: https://steemit.com/blockchainbi/@plushzilla/blockchainbi-logo-design-concept
A linguistics tragic:
- In particular, comparative linguistics but polyglots in general: https://steemit.com/polyglots/@plushzilla/do-polyglots-dream-of-multilingual-conversations
A problem solver on Steemit:
- A proposed solution to reduce bot influence on steemit: https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@plushzilla/how-to-reward-the-effort-and-not-the-post-a-proposal-for-real-life-activity-reward-systems
- A proposal for conflict resolution on steemit: https://steemit.com/dispute-resolution/@plushzilla/resolving-conflicts-the-steemian-way-a-proposal-for-arbitration-on-steemit

And I would like to think of myself as a social networker for good:

- My hope for the 'gig economy' with steemgigs: https://steemit.com/steemgigs/@plushzilla/the-gig-economy-how-to-get-on-a-role-with-steemgigs
And my latest initiative the Steemtopia Network of Learning:

So I would like to use this account for promoting the Steemtopia Network of Learning
Post about my flower petal origami cranes
And talk about mental fitness while Iet @plushzilla continue to roam free and do as he pleases :)

Welcome @fibrefox! Aka @plushzilla :)
I hadn't realized all your interests and activities you are involved in. You were one of the first Steemians I met on here and still remember the bounty I won from one of your contests (on my personal account-which I'm not active on anymore). It was a wonderful feeling as a newbie and receiving my first big bounty of 0.20 SBD. Thank you for that.
I understand the need to separate you interests. Best of luck with the Steemtopia Network of Learning. It sounds like a great initiative.
Hi @beeyou, thanks for the support and encouragement. I am glad to have crossed paths with you on more than one occasion (it can be so hard once you get a few followers) and also very happy to see that you are still able to spend time here occasionally (I read about your busy life :p).
There are so many things you can be involved in on Steemit but just not enough time (although it would be interesting to turn it into a full-time job somehow), and I had to learn to focus on just a few things plus spend more time networking with people and leveraging each other's knowledge and skills.
If you also like to be included in the Steemtopia Network of Learning just let me know :)
Thanks for reading about my busy life, hehe. It’s challenging finding the time to contribute on here with work and a family. I do remember the pennies earned with my personal account and can relate to the struggles newbies go through when starting out. Your bounty was probably the most I made and the kindness never forgotten. It’s not the monetary value but the act of generosity, kindness and support you gave that touched me. Thank you again. I’ve met so many great individuals recently but I never forget any great gesture freely given.
Thank you for the invite to the SNL. It’s very kind of you. My lack of knowledge and talent on any of the categories would put me more as one of the participant/learners the initiative would be helping out. Lol. Of course I would be happy to help if I can. Please let me know if you ever do @fibrefox. Dave keeps me busy (yes you, if you are reading this 😛)I seem to spend most of my limited time on here replying more then anything else. Sigh. As you said, if only this could be a full time job, thereby allowing us to focus more on our interests.
I really appreciate the kind comments. I wrote about how Dave was able to make such a great impact without much SP or SBD in his account balance, but each one of us has a different path and role to play here. I have actually accumulated a little bit in my other account but the focus was on my own individual goals rather than helping the community so I want to dedicate an account to this while still being able to express my ideas and thoughts.
Please keep writing when you get a chance because I will still be upvoting and resteeming your posts (my upvotes are worth about 0.14 SBD now) so I have come a long way from the bounties I used to give out when I had nothing :D
Yes, I agree that we each have our own paths on here. You said it wonderfully. That is great of you to write that of Dave. I dont’t know what he does on here to have so many fans (aside from write and write 😉).
Thank you for your support. I truly appreciate it. Yay on growing your account! You were already wonderful when you had “nothing”. I know you will help to ‘makesteemitgreat-again with both your personal interests and community support efforts.
