Honey Five-0
I logged onto this new orange platform from Spain and submitted my first Producer article. Then left it. Later in the day I was surprised to find comments, “relevants” and a welcome from non other than CEO Javier beBee. I became a Bee. I was hooked from the start.
A few months on and I recently published my fiftieth Producer post on beBee. It is the most enjoyable writing experience I have ever had. By sharing interests through posts, what better way is there to connect with others all across the globe? The community here and the diverse individuals make for an incredibly enriching experience. True to the affinity precept of this platform, our writing reveals who we are.
Sitting on the beach the other day I was thinking how writing pieces seem to be like waves. Sometimes they follow in rapid succession. At times the ocean barely rises. Each wave unfolds and breaks differently. Some we ride and enjoy. Others we let go by. Big waves, small waves, blue waves and this, my Honey Five-O wave, to you.
Looking back I consider the following to be my best beBee posts based on how much I learned and enjoyed compiling it, and from the engagement on the pieces.

Why I Write.
https://www.bebee.com/producer/@gert-scholtz/why-i-write
My posts in total add up to around thirty five thousand words, which is approximately a third of a full length book or novel. A published book would probably go through at least one further redraft. Social media publishing has the benefit of immediate feedback and interaction between reader and writer. Book writing is a long, solitary quest. So to all the published writers on beBee: respect!
Feeds on beBee are becoming quicker all the time, and I am not immune to the human tendency to want to go to the latest and freshest posts. Many excellent and timeless pieces are forgotten soon after publication. Perhaps every six months beBee can compile the fifty best posts for that period as voted by Bees, in a long form post or a pdf document? The Best of BeBee Buzz?
I look forward to a continued writing experience on beBee and end off: Thank you to Javier beBee, Juan Imaz and their team for creating this incredible social and blogging platform. Thank you to all the writers on beBee. To mention a few I would be leaving out the many. I learn from all. Thank you to all Bees that have read, commented, marked relevant and shared my posts.
Your engagement is my enjoyment.
PS: Yes, I always watch Hawaii Five-O.

I don't know what to tell you Gerald Hecht, except it was the cookie someone gave me in Washington State. And then I started singing "I'm so excited, I just can't hide it." What got into me?!

Not quite finished with this buzz Gert, because it has ignited other neurons in my head which now is fermenting another paradox wisdom. The essence of which is the difference between a place where one can evolve more than simply another place where we can plug & play. Will link to this when it is completed today.
