RE: After 2 weeks on Steemit I decided to STOP
Write on. Just write until somebody pays you. That's what Mark Twain said to do and that's what he did. That's what I'm doing, too.
This is not tit for tat. This is where I just write, post it and see what happens.
In my replies to posts, though I have done it in the past, I don't mention if I've resteemed, followed or upvoted someone. I'm not trading votes, resteems or follows. I'm just writing without any expectations.
I really appreciate your comment. But as @enchantedspirit said it would be nice to know at leat who resteemed our articles to say thank you. And I totally agree with you :) @digitalfirehorse
Unless I've missed it somewhere, I don't think steemit tells you when someone has resteemed an article you wrote. I wish they did. (I don't know about FB or Tw, but G+ does, and that's the only social media platform I care about at all!!) Personally, I'd like to know. I'd at least like to thank them. To me that's just good manners.
The ones I've found, I've found by accident, and I'm horrified to think I might have missed some / slighted somebody. Despite the complaints everywhere about spam comments, etc., I've considered asking anyone on my blog that does resteem to at least say so so I can follow up. (Maybe I still will.) Again, I consider it a matter of appreciation and courtesy.
Also, if they're interested in what I write, maybe I'll be interested in what they write. I have very eclectic tastes -- and finding an account that doesn't look like some kind of dead-end / bot is becoming a treat!
Frankly, I'm scared to death to post much in the way of comments here. The culture is very different from what I'm used to on G+. People want comments that "add value" to the post, rather than something in the way of a compliment or bit of conversation, so I have to sit on my hands a lot -- and wait for the temptation to pass.
But since you know who I am, I thought I'd risk it here -- and hope for the best. I still enjoy your writing and look you up every day. I wouldn't be here without you. Keep the faith, my friend. <3
I'm blown away.
