Inspiration Overload!!!!

in spirtiality •  7 years ago 

From early in the morning I've been jumping back and forth between tasks, frantically trying to move forward but not sure what I want to focus on. I feel great actually. I'm just a bit overwhelmed.

Goldie's brilliant plan

Since @vangelov told me his idea for the Steemit Writers Guild (check out this post for info)

To summarize, The SWG will help writers to gain readers ON and OFF steemit AND it'll introduce all our new readers to steemit, helping the platform gain dedicated new users who are already familiar with some steemit users. We will be putting together Ebooks of quality material from steemit users on other platforms for free, linking the readers back to our personal websites/patreons etc. AND our steemit pages.

When he told me the idea I cracked up....totally brilliant. The goal is to help dedicated independent writers earn a real income from their writing and to help steemit grow and I think it will easily succeed at both of these goals.

I had the day off from work and so I set out to find writers who have stories they have been looking to tell but which might not neccesarily fit the whole steemit 7 day post life setup. I've also been looking for SP delegator to help us support this community for the time being and help us get the word out.

But the task kind of overwhelmed me. So many people to seek out, I couldn't figure out who to message first and kept getting distracted.

More Inspiration from @kendewitt

I don't talk about it much because I want to make sure I don't forget to finish Confessions of the Damaged (a collection of interwoven short stories found at my patreon) but I also have the concept and first chapter for a science fiction novel that I'm excited to flesh out.

As I was talking to @kendewitt about the different science fiction projects we are working on, it turns out that a lot of our ideas were quite similar. Rather than worry about ripping each other off, we got talking about sharing ideas and collaborating in the future.

This got me even more excited. So here I am, really excited to do this and do that and trying my hardest to figure out what I should focus on right now to make sure I don't end up wasting this excitement! I thought this post would help me to figure out what I should focus on now but I'm afraid I haven't figured it out yet.

It's between...

  • Confessions of the Damaged
  • Untitled Sci-fi project
  • Optimism at the End of the World

One of these will get my attention for the next few hours but there's also....

  • Be Awesome and the Dead Post Initiative
  • The Steemit Writers Guild
  • secret music project yet to be shared on steemit
  • OK Spanish
    And so many more I'd like to get around to.

Hopefully by the time I push "post" I'll know what I'm doing.

I know the feeling. I got caught up in a lot of things lately and it's really hard to be active everywhere and make posts but in the mean time it's great sine at least I don't waste my time watching GoT :))

Easy to spread yourself thin at steemit. And I was already spreading myself thin between writing, music, trying not to be a hermit, and finding ways to live. But yeah, at least we won't waste time watching GoT for a while.

To be honest, lately I don't have any work balance. I'm just on all day, pushing and pushing but I like it this way. :)

As much as I love the Optimism posts I think you should focus on the fiction posts XD Hope your inspiration lasts a while :)

Thanks for the input. I wonder if I should just write about my stories here and keep the stories themselves up at patreon? I don't want to rely solely on steemit because of the disparity between whale and minnow votes and how unstable it is. I believe in the platforms ability to do good but it's far from perfect, especially for sharing fiction.
