30 Days or 30 Posts Commitment

So continues an exercise. Not in how many vote-ups or how much crypto-currency I can get, but seeing if Steemit might be a good fit for me and what I'd like to do. What I'm willing to do. What I might enjoy doing and feel inspired to do. I'm committing to at least 30 days or 30 posts, like my oil change recommendation, mileage or time, whichever turns out to be the longer duration.

A couple of recent articles I will reference for the heck of it...

#2 Self-Awareness, Voice, Key for Female Empowerment, Study Finds

These are two things that I have recently come across that shore up my feelings that this 30 Days or 30 Posts commitment to writing/creating content is a worthwhile endeavor, regardless of results. My intentions for participation in this platform are in line with some of the reasons given in the above articles.

I have an awareness of and an on-going curiosity about how audience, or even perceived audience, helps shape and summon content. So, I am showing up on a new platform to see what might be inspired in a new space. Two social media tools that I currently use are Facebook and Instagram. I have a pretty conservative approach to privacy on both of those sites.

When I first started Instagram, long after I had been using Facebook, I of course noticed that many of the people I was connected to on the sites were the same. I went about playing with my new camera phone and posting content on Instagram. I have found that though some of the people are the same, the range of content that I am inspired to share differs, and I feel them to be different social experiences.

Obviously, Steemit is going to be a different experience in regards to interaction with a public sphere, but I expect my approach to personal privacy to continue to err on the conservative side. It is my intention to leave room for a natural evolution on this front, as well. I'm definitely anticipating a learning curve as I make posts and learn more about the community, and potentially connect with a community of creative people in meaningful ways.

Thanks for reading this. I welcome comments. I also reserve the right to ignore them. ;)

Perhaps I'll post some pics of mine in the future once I figure out how.
