Ok, Timer started, and let’s go
I’m trying to free write every day, just to see how it goes. I kinda like the feel, and, while I won’t make the most money, this is STEEM, so monetization for minnows is pretty much a lost cause.
Anyway. I read recently that putting a stopwatch/timer on while you type is a great way to improve productivity, though personally looking at that 2 min 17 sec just makes me feel pressured. But I’m trying, so we’ll see what happens.
Umm… hoping I don’t blank out here. I recently read an article on steemit (I’ll check up the exact source afterwards) which said that introverts have a lot of ideas for writing on steemit because introverts constantly have conversations with themselves. I don’t know though, that might just be for typing up afterwards, not for in the moment, stream of consciousness like I’m doing right now. Alos I’m not entirely sure I’m an introvert.
Yeah, I know that statement sounds riddiculous. How do I not know if I’m an introvert? But alas it is sadly true. A couple of months ago my cousin (in law) commented that in chinese element I’m either a fire/water or a water/fire. For those who don’t know (I didn’t before he explained it to me) there are five chinese elements, each representing a different personality type, and the first one being the more important/main aspect to your personality. For example those with a main metal element can be defined as immensely organized. In this case, fire represents extrovertedness and outgoingness (among other thing) whereas water represents introvertedness. Hmm… You see my conundrum.
I actually see it in the way I behave - I can spend hours talking, conversing, arguing in a way an introvert couldn’t, but I also need a few hours of alone time to read and/or simply think in a way an extrovert wouldn’t. Or perhaps more significantly I could go days without human contact, simply reading and thinking and be perfectly happy. Be that as it may, I should probably get back on topic to… wait I’m not entirely certain what we were talking about before.
Umm… anyway that’s a nice painting over there isn’t it. Quickly ducks behind nearby potted plant as everyone turns to look at nonexistant painting. Well, I’m not quite that bad but, (wait a second, if the painting’s nonexistent, does that mean that the potted plant is also?… oops) well let’s see, I should probably introduce myself before I get too far too much further. My name is ———(yeah, I’m not sharing my name with a bunch of strangers…yet) and I joined steemit for the money for the experience. I’m mostly going to freewrite/ write blogs on whatever I’ve been thinking about recently (those will be more coherent) and yes, I am a complete weirdo.
Hyperbole out.
Footnote: oh oops the timer idea and the introvert idea are both from the same article -
