There will be no more installments of Bedtime Facts.

I've been mulling over discontinuing it for a couple of months. The only thing that has kept me going is that I hate drop out of doing something that I've promised myself to continue to the end. The series has always produced less in rewards, on average, than my free form content. Creating it has been not been fun for quite some time at least most of the time. My time is better spent on creating free form content. Some of the installments have done their purpose and worked well as conversation starters. But it's always possible to make free form posts on the same topics.

As the name suggests posts in that series has been something I've written at bedtime. Sitting at the computer late at night trying to come up with something interesting but verifiably true, sometimes surfing the web for an hour before something comes up while growing more and more tired is simply not worth the rewards earned or the quality of the material produced. This has not as much to do with the fiat price of STEEM and SBD but the stake earned. It is simply not efficient use of my time. I will make up my mind about English Phrasal Verbs later but it is likely that I will continue that series becausetwo native English speakers have bothered to regularly comment on the posts and offer valuable knowledge on the correct use the verbs.

I totally understand you. It was good to stop them if it wasn't worth it. And after all, you did make them for half a year. That is already quite an achievement.

Your articles are very good friend Markku. Only you can make that decision. I would have liked to be able to compensate more your articles because they are of quality, in addition the title (or segment as I call my daily articles) has your signature. Time is precious and you have to take advantage of it. I understand you.

AWWWW lol. I fully understand and agree with your decision. It was good though. If you find some interesting facts you are right in saying you can just create a post. There were some really good ones though. Maybe do a final one with your favorite bed time fact. There has to be one that stands out. I liked a few. Ones that stood out without looking is the soldier who served in all the different armies after being captured. Also liked Hitlers voice recordings. Thank you for creating such nice posts.

I should give resteem some of those and my favorites too. Although that was not going to change things :(

My number 1 rule is to do what I enjoy. May sound simple, but it is important for staying power :)

I had my suspicions about this because some of your last posts, I'm afraid that I'm also undermining the idea of finishing my project, it's becoming a little difficult to maintain the schedule, and focusing on a single topic reduces the field of facts, but mania I will try to reach 100 I like that number, I think that I'll not feel so failed, also soon I will begin the process of recovering my passport so my days are going to be somewhat busy, for having to pay bribes. No kidding, this is how things work here :)

You are setting a good example I am following you now.
I decided to do a photo a day with results that show little interest from others. Like you I think maybe a free-form type of writing may be better.

I seem to be following what others do lately, lol. I hope that alright.

Time wisely spent is never a waste of time. How about getting the mind really tired at night and cooking up a funny piece just before you go to bed. Be bloody hilarious in the morning.

Sure. :D

I think I'll just sleep and get more done the next day.

How bad for us who follow you and we will not be able to see these excellent information anymore, you have every reason to stop doing the Bedtime Facts. I respect your decision.
I can suggest you do one a week just because I really liked reading a lot.
I hope that, Do not suspend English Phrasal Verbs to us helps us a lot.
Whatever you do, I will always be a faithful follower of you and your friend Jaro.

You will but as free form posts. There will be more content based on opinion and analysis rather than facts. Perhaps in a shorter format because I'm more of debater and conversationalist instead of a novelist.

You made the right decision!!
This will give you more space and flexibility to carve out your real niche for communicating with others!!

Good luck!

I am new on your post. You have written on a very interesting subject. Your articles are very good friend Markku. best you could make that choice. I would have appreciated so as to compensate greater your articles due to the fact they may be of quality, further, the identity has your signature I completely understand and accept as true with your decision. it became excellent although. in case you locate some exciting facts you're proper in pronouncing you may just create a submit. there were some virtually precise ones even though. perhaps do a final one together with your favored mattress timereality. there has to be one that stands out. i appreciated a few. ones that stood out without searching is the soldier who served in all the exceptional armies after being captured. also preferred hitlers voice recordings. thanks for developing such nice posts.
