Whenever we sit down to write a story and don't really have anything planned, most Steemonians go through this process. Let me know in the comments if I'm right.
THE 12 STAGES OF POSTING ON STEEMIT
Stage 1: Thinking about what to post.
Stage 2: Thinking harder about a topic
Stage 3: Finally you have an idea
Stage 4: Writing the greatest post ever
Stage 5: Clicking "POST"
Stage 6: Seeing that first upvote
Stage 7: Realizing that was your automatic up-vote
Stage 8: Waiting for that first reply
Stage 9: Reading the first reply
Stage 10: Refreshing the screen to see if there are more votes and replies.
Stage 11: Watching your post go viral
Stage 12: Payout day
I hope you enjoyed the 12 Stages of Posting on Steemit. Any votes or resteems and I would really appreciate.

That is how a loser (harsh word) manages a Steemit account.
A winner would have many blogs planned out well in advance. Winners plan and losers wing it.
I have many blogs planned out. None of which can be created at this point in time. My blog was not meant to be started before the website was created, but I felt like adding some content.

HAHAHA, just because people don't do things like you they are losers?
So you are telling me that the blog you posted about an Instagram photo took planning? https://steemit.com/blog/@capitalpink/perfect-thumnail-size
I appreciate your feedback, but I think Steemit can be a lot of things to a lot of people and majority are here to have some fun, learn some things and share what makes them happy. Let people be themselves without calling them losers. I'm just saying, there are better ways to get people to upvote you and to follow.

I only started posting on Steemit to test it out. I'm not a content creator.

And yes I realize I said I have blog posts planned and then said I am not a content creator. What I meant was I will not be the one creating the blog posts. Others will.

"Not planning" is a losing quality. I believe in limiting losing qualities.
I understand that "loser" is a harsh word. It's only a word. You choose to give it meaning.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

lmao...
Doing is a winning quality. Planning can get in the way of doing. I know a lot of people that plan for success, but never get there because they didn't start doing. You are the one that told me that "loser" was a "harsh word" when you commented, so clearly you assigned meaning to it. I was following along. I get that the "loser" / "winner" thing is part of your branding, but when you are condescending, I don't see a winning strategy. When it comes to winning, I do a lot of it. Mainly because I learned from my losses. I know winning qualities and you may talk about them, but coming into a post that is tagged "funny" and calling people losers is not the way to win.
I hope that helps. I'm always here to help newbies.

It's not that I assign meaning to the word. It's that I'm aware of how words effect others and it's easy to hurt feelings.
Winning/losing is not apart of my branding. I'm simply creating posts now so that in the future no one will be able to tell me it was all luck, or any such excuse. Because I am aware of excuses too.
Planning out blog posts can be as simple as choosing a topic and as complex as creating the entire post off of Steemit before it is ready to be posted. Any level of planning is better than none. If you are stuck on thinking up a blog post idea, you shouldn't be focused on wanting to make a blog post. You should be focused on brainstorming a number of ideas.
I'm not directly calling anyone a loser. I was pointing out a losing quality.
Technically I am being a loser right this moment because I feel that this is time being wasted. Wasting time is a losing quality.

lol, I didn't have anything in mind when I started this blog post, but I planned to post a minimum of four a day. With this one post, I made more than any other post I've ever done on here. I'm not 100% sure your general rules apply to everyone. On a side note... lol... I don't get hurt feelings. But thanks for admitting you were intentionally trying to hurt someone's feelings. I didn't work. But I wish you best of luck. This isn't wasting time, you are going to get some SBD for these comments because of how much my "loser" post generated. hahaha.

Hmmm...that's harsh. Just give others chance and time to discover their skills in writing. Not everyone is as talented as the others who are already successful here in Steemit. For as long as their happy sharing their interests and crafts, I don't think they deserve to be called losers.

he didn't say you called them a loser. In general. I thought you said you talked to me enough for a lifetime. Can't get enough? You should just become a follower.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

You don't have to tell me what what said, I quoted what was said. He started off by saying "that was harsh" and ended saying "I don't think they deserve to be called losers"
I said "Once again, I didn't call anyone a loser"
With that said, it's a losing quality to become defensive when someone offers positive advice.
All I said was that it is good to plan out blog posts. It makes life easier on the blogger and you won't have to stress out trying to find the next topic to blog about.
I really hope that you are only messing with me..

Did you read his brother's book about him? "The Chris Farley Show" by Kevin (I believe) Farley. It was really good. It gave you some cool inside information about him, without being an exploitative cash grab. If not, you need to get to a library tomorrow.
