Really ...write for myself, don't worry about editing and just post it? I usually write my articles, read them aloud, edit, let them sit for a day, read aloud to myself again, edit ....then OCD on it for another 6 hours before I post. LOL .........I mean, this sounds good ...to not have to worry so much about the writing, but ...are you sure?

Sort:  

Some people write because they truly have something to say--times when they're bursting at the seams and just want to exhaust their thoughts out of their systems. Then there are people solely driven by the rewards: forcing words out and subsequently pressuring themselves. I guess this was what I wanted to say: write because writing is a good outlet for ideas. It's not meant to stress you out. 😊 Steemit is a social media, not a competion with a panel of judges.

On writing OCD, I'm just like you. 😂 Even writing this response has taken me a couple of minutes (I think it's been half an hour!) to put together. But a workaround I'd been doing lately was to just write. After writing everything down, that's when I begin my psychoanalyzing. I would edit time and time again, but I sure am glad I got my thoughts out; never mind that they're cluttered. 😁

But then again, these written in my post are just personal tips and preferences. If the shoe fits, then high-five! 😅

Thank you so much, @sungrazer! I hope you have a great Steemit experience! 🎉

Well, both are me. I have something to say, but I still OCD over how I write it. LOL...Thank you @erangvee! :)
