Yesterday went well with two opportunities for Steemizens to share their posts with others and get to know each other. To quote @enginewitty, “we had a smorgasbord of posts” available for sharing with a range of writing and topics. Great stuff and my thanks to everyone for participating.
The purpose of the evening is for Steemizens to bring along a recent post, share it with the assembled, talk about the post and their blog.
@cizzo led off the morning sharing his western flash fiction which is very well written and enjoyable. The only problem with really good flash fiction is it leaves you wanting more. But, fear not, @cizzo writes more.
We moved from the short and powerful story to a longform post by @daudimitch on the increasing incidence of antibiotic resistant bacterias and the challenges that presents the medical system in treating the infections. He discusses the potential solutions found in our own feces. Interesting post.
@sargento shared his post about the Halloween contest The Duty Hut discord is sponsoring. Since The Duty Hut is a veteran support discord, the contest very fittingly has a theme of getting your “war-face” on. Have a look and take part for some great prizes.
@topkpop wrote a delightful post about spending the day at Busch Gardens with her daughter. Some wonderful pictures and great commentary leads us along with their adventure.
@topkpop also brought our attention to Steemit World Map which will track where posts are made from if you enter your longitude and latitude coordinates into the post. An interesting project I’d not previously heard of.
@molovelly shared a short post she had which highlighted some artwork her nephew had created. She loves spending time with him and encouraging his creativity. A future Steemizen on his way up.
@topkpop kicked off the evening session by sharing part one of her post about her gaming time. She’s an avid game player and spends time each day playing on their gaming consoles. A lot of her choices are driven by her daughter but @topkpop enjoys them too.
Now, this is one of the reasons I really enjoy doing the PYPT, finding out things about the people in my network that I didn’t know before. I didn’t know @topkpop enjoyed games. We become part of each others networks when we take part in PYPT
@anarcho-andrei shared someone else’s work. This is a project started by @rhondak from the Writers Block discord. Being an animal lover, I support projects working to protect and get homes for those who end up without loving humans to look after them.
@tarc is running this animal rescue in an area of the US that has some devastating statistics when it comes to the wellbeing of it’s human citizens and even worse for animals. When you have a look at this post, make sure you also have a look at the link about those statistics. This is another Steemit project that can help change lives for our animal friends.
@richforever joins us from Ghana. He decided to learn more about India and shared what he learned in this post. Very interesting post and great work on @richforever’s part.
@anaman also joins us from Ghana. He’s shared with us a struggle he’s having and asking for input on the problem. I wont spoil it by not letting you have a read through his dilemma
@steemitgraven29 shared with us his personal challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in November. He’s taking part in the annual National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in which authors strive to complete theirs in a month. He’s tried before and didn’t quite get there, he’s trying again. Even if he doesn’t reach the full goal, he has another goal, to get into the habit of writing every day.
@steemitgraven29’s share sparked a brief conversation in which others in the room shared how they had tried this competition before. One of the benefits of attending PYPT is the side conversations that some posts generate. They don’t last long because we do want others to share but they are interesting.
@molovelly brought her love of beer into PYPT with her post about a local craft brewery and her favourite beer “Dirty Bastard”. I love the creative names that some of the breweries and wineries come up with. When she first mentioned Dirty Bastard I immediately thought of the French wine I like called “Fat Bastard”.
She’s going to explore some other local breweries and report back. I’m sure she’ll need to do some sampling along the way.
@jakemore also joins us from Ghana. Not only is it late in the evening when our friends from Ghana join us, they are often struggling with unstable connections. So my hat’s off to them for their perseverance to take part in PYPT.
@jakemore writes on a variety of topics including cryptocurrency. In this post he examines the recent Bitcoin activity and the Bitcoin Gold hardfork. Interesting read.
This was not only @nichi’s first visit to PYPT, but she’s new to Steemit. She’s shared with us a really great post about an artwork project that is underway to explore how colonization has affected her community. @nichi wasn’t able to get onto voice but it wasn’t from lack of effort. I’m looking forward to hearing more from her at future PYPTs
@enginewitty shared this post with us. It’s not upvotable but I highly recommend that you go and read it. The post is by @reko who is engaged in a really neat project. He’s doing a Word of Mouth project to introduce people from offline to Steemit and bringing them onboard. This post introduces several more new members to Steemit and I suggest you check out their profiles and give them some support. Great work @reko.
@gmuxx who is involved with the Writer’s Block discord introduced us to their official account’s introductory post. I’ve mentioned before the Writers Block has been a great participant in PYPTs. We learned more about the project on Thursday. They are doing some great work over there to support writers on Steemit. The post will introduce you to several of the workshops they have.
Next up, @enginewitty shared his entry into the Rondo Rap Challenge. He also includes the lyrics in the post so you can follow along. He took some time to explain what #thealliance is, a group that emphasizes quality and consistency over quantity of work and supporting each other. Several members of thealliance have also been taking part in PYPT.
@enginewitty is always on the lookout for newer unnoticed Steemizens who are doing good work and could use more support. He gave a shoutout to: @oscarps, @txatxy and @ninahaskin. Take a look at the profile and give them some support please.
@saffisara is a preschool teacher from Sweden. She shared with an account of a harvest party held with her students. Along with having fun, the children were able to learn more about fruits and vegetables and how they are grown. Nice work @saffisara.
Bahbahra was first introduced to us last week by @tattoodjay who used his stuffed friend to kick off a fun contest. He tells us he had five entries to the contest and really enjoyed going through them. This week’s theme is your little toy’s travels to your part of the world. Go have a look at the post and have some fun with this contest. Great activity to engage children to participate in getting the ideas.
@enginewitty put forth this post by @goldenarms. It’s the seventh installment of his assassin story. You’ll want to go back and read it from the beginning after this taste. @goldenarms writes beautifully. We’ve not dragged him into PYPT yet but we’ll keep working on him.
@guiltyparties wanted to present this post but was called away from PYPT so, he contacted me about it after. @sunnyali is very new to Steemit and is from Romania. He watched her verify her profile in real time so has some confidence she is who she claims to be.
I’m late getting this report out. I had some errands to do yesterday that wore me out more than I expected. I had to finish it today.
So, all in all, I’d say the third PTPT was a success. Two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon saw over twenty posts shared. We were introduced to new projects and some Steemizens who could use some support but weren’t in chat.
That’s what PYPT is all about, sharing and supporting each other. I’ll be back next Thursday for two more rounds. Plan on attending and taking part.
Don’t forget, you can visit the Steemit Ramble discord at anytime. When you share the post of another Steemizen in the nominate-someones-post channel you will get access to another channel nominate-your-post. I regularly review those two channels for potential posts to share in the Steemit Ramble.
If you are too busy to share, there is a post promotion channel. I might look in there some day. Steemit is about sharing and building community.
