I love the way you tied The Walking Dead to promoting steemit! You always do a great job of drawing people in and then BAM! hitting them with your true message. Love it.

Thanks Brian! It's called the open loop. I've been trying to master it for a year or so.. I think @neilstrauss spoke about that in steemfest.
He has the mother of all the open-loops! In his book The Truth, he shares a very powerful personal story, and then he said: "Every family has skeletons in the closet, you have to find them before they find you, because that skeleton has a penis and it will fuck your life".
And then he continues the story and connects it when you expected the least, bam!
I think that open loops are great when you connect things and entertain the reader while sharing your thoughts.
I think I am able to do this when I teach. I am always trying to grab the students' attention... but that is in person. I have so many crutches to rely on like tone of voice, gestures, volume and visuals. But it just seems so much more challenging in writing. Well done!
I know, they say that 85% of the communication is non verbal. I need to get on Video as well :)
