"Sweet, sweet content. The thing Steemit likes, and likes in regular, consistent amounts." @noughthayde, I hear you.
"Some people ... just bottle it all up and turn into a hermit, retreating away in their sad little writing-cave before letting it out in angry outbursts...."
Again: I hear you.
You left out the part where it's not enough to upvote and resteem other creators every day. We need to Comment on each other's posts, or nobody will upvote or comment on or even bother to read ours.
It's all about building community! Tagging @guytmartland here, because he and I are in the same boat, it seems. Except that I've been reading, upvoting, and commenting for months, yet my own posts continue to attract very little attention.
I love your post on Fantasy and world building, by the way. So, your random blogging does reach readers - your time is not wasted!
Well, assuming you get more readers than just me. :)

Random Blog 1- League of Legends
Not sure if you saw my response on the poul discord, but I think a lot of writers are so engaged in the act of writing their next big new thing that they entirely forget that they are trying to build an audience and relate to them.
As you no doubt know, I fall into this trap myself. I only recently started posting regularly again because I was too busy coming up with the swords of st valentine story and simply forgot that, as a blog, it's important to keep one's audience engaged and help build a community around you and others near you. This is why I made more of a shift towards blogging and more consistent content such as this, something I've never had to do before.
Hopefully I can get accustomed to the whole commenting, upvoting, curating aspect of this platform- as it stands, I am still very bad at it, going several days before remembering "oh yeah, this is a social media platform", and spending tons of voting power to try and "make up" for my lack of upkeep.
I'm sure if you keep posting things you are legitimately passionate about, you will draw your own audience to your content, and I am sure you will get the attention you deserve. You just need to fight for it and stop caring so much about the opinions of others- write for yourself first and your audience, if they truly enjoy your unique voice and content, will follow.
