A few months back I vowed to myself that I would be posting daily and commenting lots to encourage other authors to steem on. Well, I've failed miserably. But it's not because Steem and Steemit are not a priority in my life. It's quite the contrary.
I love writing. I often say that writing is like breathing to me. I simply can't help it. While I breathe, I write. So where are the posts? Where are the new chapters of Mistress of Magic waiting for @isleofwrite editors to make readable? Unfortunately, all of these were deprioritized in the past week.
So what am I up to and where does all my time go?
(Pretty much this)
Marketing & Social Media at @utopian-io
The brilliant @elear and his team are amazing innovators and developers. What they are not is marketers and content writers. I am.
While the developers do their development thing and grow and improve the platform, I post the occasional update to the social media profiles, answer messages and mentions, and help create marketing content and other documents that are crucial to the success of this amazing project. So much to do, but so much potential there, I just can't keep away even though it comes at the expense of my art and free time.
Content Writing and Mayhem at @buildteam
Another amazing organization I am proud to be of is the @buildteam . This whacky group of professionals with a liking for cars and all things crypto occasionally entrusts me with texts to write and edit, as well as abusers and scammers who need a virtual spanking on Discord. I always regret missing the oportunity to educate those when @furious-one takes care of that business by his awesome self.
Israeli Steemit Community
Back in October, and with the encouragement of @amiramnoam , I created a Facebook group for Israeli steemians. I even announced it in a post. At first, it was a trickle. Steemit users like me who were looking for a local community in Israel were happy to find a group to belong to. And then came the flood. The rumor of this awesome blogging platform and friendly local community spread quickly, and the group now holds close to 400 members.
The meetup I organized at a pub in my town took place earlier this week. Even though train lines were closed, over 20 people showed up to socialize, drink, and exchange opinions and ideas about the future of Steemit.
Meetups are nice, but there's a lot more to do. I onboard new users in private conversations almost daily. I help admin our Discord channel and Whatsapp group in addition to the Facebook group I admin. Although I have @yairdd to save me from getting overwhelmed, it's still a lot of time and energy.
Small Achievements
I now have 5,000 SP of my own, making me a Dolphin. The majority is delegated out to newbies and @isleofwrite . In addition, I've passed 2500 followers this week. I'd like to thank each and every one that is not a bot.

Not thanking the bots. SMH.
Bots are people too!
Wait...
Bots have feelings too!
Or they will, one day.
When you ignore them, do they not rise and try again?
When you kick them, do they not auto-join the channel again?
When they follow you, do they not unfollow and follow until you scream at GINA to stop telling you of it?
The bots are coming.
And they'll remember this day, Ilana.
Bots do not forget.
Unless you use robots.txt. But only good robots listen to that. And we're not talking about the good robots here.

Damn! I mean, I have a general idea of what you do, but seeing it all laid out like this? It's a LOT. And that's just the public stuff, amirite? I mean, we've got a thing that's unannounced, and I you have more things cooking that aren't yet ready for public consumption.
You are a Steemit beast. No doubt about that.

Wow... that's a lot on your plate.
With so much else dominating your life, it has to feel good.
I can't believe you enjoy giving up control like that.
Submitting to the whims of so much, beyond your own desires?
OK, enough about you... when's it gonna be about me?
I need more Mistress Of Magic.
(seriously... cheers and good on you. Totally get that you give so much and spend time helping others here on Steemit: well done!)

I really know what it is like to be busy. I try to post once a day but sometimes it might not get done. With spring coming, the garden needs to be prepped for planting and seeds started. Then I have the small house to get done, then there are all the AirCrette house builds to plan and get worked out. It is called life, just do what you can and move forward. Steem On!

It's nice to see people doing so much effort for steemit. But yes it deserves it. Steemit deserves so much more.
That facebook group idea for your city/country is a good idea girl. I think we all should do that. I will give it a thought. Thanks for this.
We people from india as well keep meetups every now and then :D
Keep up the good work :)

Sounds like you have nothing to be apologetic about as far as the "barely publishing part" goes. Can't do it all!

Not so much apologetic as updating. People who aren't in direct contact with me might be wondering why I am so quiet. I am never quiet, unless I am brewing something. Or a number of somethings.

Now that you are dolphin you should have no problem at all swimming in that ball pit. Just remember to come up for air from time to time.
Thanks for you support on a few of my recent posts! It means so much.
Perhaps consider adding me to your auto-upvotes if you value my content as creatively sound. I will continue to be a solid force on Steemit.
Take care @techslut
