Thanks for the praise for the Secret Writer project. It's like the culmination of many years of trying various things, failing at most of them, and then searching for something that can hold my interest long-term. I am fairly sure I have some attention issues, for it seems that after 3 months of doing a thing, I lose interest. This SWP changes daily, so I think it's good for people and I am happy that I get to pay people every day for their secrets.

trying various things, failing... I beg to differ. The only failure is not trying :)
Maybe you are not meant to be involved in things long-term. Have you considered that? Perhaps you are an "innovator" type personality who is better engaged in the "ideas" stage and delegating or handing over the development and day-to-day running of things once a project or idea is up and going. I am sure you could appoint or elect moderators in due course, much as FB allows on their 'pages' or 'groups'. Just a suggestion.
That you have provided a platform for individuals to express themselves anonymously is a valuable commodity worthy of praise. Very well done! You deserve all the praise you receive :)
Yes, I am an innovator. I tend to start things and then hand the finished projects over to others. I've been doing this for a while now. I want to focus current efforts on building out the commerce infrastruture here on Steemit. I have a ton of ideas, one of which is really exciting to me. It's the black swan idea. It literally makes me shiver when I think about it. That's the one I want to focus on in the near term. It requires the right team, the right personalities in order to make it really work like magic. I live by Kamal Ravikant's expression, "On the other side of fear is where the magic is." I do the things of which I am most afraid.....The Black Swan Event is just that....
Yes, I am an innovator. No surprise there then :)
Black Swan.... hmmmm... can have very catastrophic negative conoctations and memories, this term. I am quite sure that is not how you are using it or intending it in this context though :)
2 simple ideas I thought of (a) Re:Commerce and "Official" Steemit merchandise - T-shirts, Buttons etc,. Slogans like Full Steem Ahead , Steem on By, I'm Steeming! (How about you?) Steem Zone etc.
(b) If you have their ear, get the Whales to start a Mermaid category for you ladies on here :) Best Wishes for now!
