It's not really that big a deal. I'm keeping the SP and burning the equivalent STEEM in its place so ultimately I end up with the same thing I stared with. I'm just making my own STEEM available to reduce friction and allow burning right away.

Another way to do it would be make the posts in a dedicated account and have that account power down and burn as the power downs occur, which means the burning would be spread out over 13 weeks rather than immediate. I may switch to something like that, as I'm not sure I want to keep cluttering up my personal blog with these posts.
