I broke a rule today; It felt good. Ok, so it was my own rule and there's not a lot at stake I guess, just my privacy, however I still felt a little nervous doing so. Today I handed someone at work my steemit details essentially giving them permission to read my blog. It doesn't sound all that concerning maybe, but to me allowing someone I work with to read my posts is a little unnerving. I suppose because I see her every day and sometimes my blogs are a little personal. It's strange huh? I'll share with strangers but not with someone I know, and like.
Anyway, we had a little chat and she seems a little keen on learning more about steemit but also about reading my blog. I feel I write in a reasonable way, it's understandable, well punctuated and (I hope) interesting to some. Sure, not everything I write will interest everyone however my topics are quite varied so there's generally something for everyone. image source
I can imagine the girl from work scrolling through my blog trying to find all my content which, as we all know is really annoying, to pick out a few she would like to read and in a way I'm looking forward to some feedback from someone I know won't judge me. I wish the platform had an easier way to locate a bloggers posts however there's no real other way than to scroll...and scroll...and scroll. You get the idea.
The prospect of having my blog scrutinised, albeit in a friendly way, has made me think back to some of the posts I've written, some I'm very proud of and some that were, well, incredibly tongue in cheek! I thought I'd post a few here for people to check out (if they chose) as my early posts were...well, you be the judge.

Getting a grip
These days I post about once a day however in the past I was posting twice typically. There's a lot of posts I suppose and the selection above merely shows the diversity of my blog. I have written some bad ones, I know that for sure, but I think I've written some great ones also. I'm not a writer, in fact I never finished high school however I tend to write from the heart and about what I am interested in or what's important to me. If you choose to take a look I thank you, if not then that's ok too. Enjoy. Or not.
Oh, as for my work colleague? Well, I hope to get her blogging because I think she would have some great content and really enjoy it although she has another awesome talent and hobby so she may decide not to. Hopefully she gets inspired by a scrubber like me posting about stuff and joins steemit though. :)
