Going Commando | Difficulties keeping up

"Going Commando"

If you took a picture of my skirt,
your hand extended low for angle,
While I'm looking away and flirting,
you'd see me naked from waist to ankle:
no panties, shaved pristine,
thighs smooth with muscled tone
and curving shadows prettily shone.

When I walked onto the field,
all self conscious of steps and breeze
legs closed tight to protect my bottom,
I was scared I'd walk wrong, jump and freeze
with skirt uplifted and nakedly showing
all my parts; both holes glowing.

When not distracted by vulnerability
I turned to talk to Hank the star,
but some opportune nerd with agility
snapped a picture for his porno gold mine:
naked from calves to skirt waistline.


Keeping up with all the steemit Activity is difficult. I find I'm spending most of my time creating content, and not enough time commenting on other peoples work. It is difficult sometimes to even respond to the own comments I get on the post I put up. However, it is extremely important to continue engaging with the community in order to earn their votes and attention. I'm having a difficult time getting to all the different people I would like to, I'm certain that they are experiencing the same frustrations.

 

Someone on steemit.com actually hired an assistant to do their daily upkeep of votes, and posting I assume. I found it strange that someone thought they were so busy that they needed an additional person to pretend like they were them. I'm not sure how I feel about this, and expect that we will see more people offering their services on the platform soon.

You can Already turn your steem tokens into Cash by exchanging them for bitcoin or litecoin. STEEM has been relatively stable in terms of price fluctuating between three and four dollars. I've been writing consistently, the post today, for the last two months. I know that isn't a lot of time in the grand scheme of things, but I feel overwhelmed by the sheer lack of power a mere minnow has. Majority of my success has come in the form of an @curie upvote series has provided the bulk of any income I've taken from my posting. I can't imagine any new person that has not received it like vote would invest any of their own money into becoming a "whale." It seems like the cards are stacked against the newbies and it is incredibly difficult to establish a base without being discouraged.

I thought last night I don't have the energy and interest to write more of Devon's story.I did not. Instead I got about three sentences end, and totally disinterested in the entire process. I know it is because of my fatigue from working over the weekend. Some days I only have so much energy and attention to devote to whatever activity I'm engaging in. Typically I do my writing in the morning after my workout, fresh before going to work. Sometimes, when I'm doing my work at night I tend to get a bit more distracted because I am less interested in the diligent activity that writing requires.

Even now, with most of the day free I have little to no interest in continuing the story that I've set out. This is typical. I struggled to continue the same dopamine rush from the initial words to page that first excited. Hopefully with the diligence of consistent effort I will have ups and downs on different days, and overall will achieve some form of success. I am taking the long road, or the do something every day tactic in order to slowly bust out content over time.

From what I understand is the best way to achieve productivity; do a little bit every day.

I have absolutely seen this succeed for me. Up until last year, I only wrote when I was struck by the muse. What that really meant was that I rarely wrote at all, and we did was burst of activity with mediocre delivery. The more frequently I write, regardless of my interest, the better my prose and poetry becomes. I find I spend less time staring out the window wondering what to type next, and more time letting my words flow to the practiced ease of regular use.

If you weren't aware, that last line was one of my idiosyncratic sentences. I often write, "with the.... of a..." You have to stop doing that. It would be better to say I regularly practice writing to let my words flow better." Unfortunately, the way we think is the inverse of what we like to read. I read once in a writing article it is best to have your most powerful action words as the final word in your sentence. I find it incredibly difficult to do.
