Well Hello from Davenport Iowa fellow Steemians!steemCreated with Sketch.

in introduceyourself •  5 years ago 

I sure hope your day is going well. I'm being lazy. I don't consider that good, but some days are just that. It does feel good. :-) I just want to start a blog, and I'm really clueless. #newbiealert #justdoit

I have lots of ideas about what to write about, but I'd really like to know what you, my kind and generous reader, would like to read. My agenda for this blog is to learn to write and to learn about #cryptocurrency. I'm also looking forward to getting to know some of you! I am most active on Facebook. Twitter and Linkedin I check occasionally.

Thank you for reading this! All comments and suggestions are appreciated so much!

Peace out y'all!

Laura, the granny

Thanks for the information! I'll follow some of this advice and the helpful advice given in the comments. I'll try to keep track of my progress for a future blog post. :-)

Welcome to Steemit! I hope you find lots of things to like here! :)

I've been here for some months now, and still have little-to-no-clue how the whole cryptocurrency thing works, haha. So, I focus on sharing photos and some of my writing, and hope for the best!

I'd like to see more creative writing pieces on this platform (short stories, personal essays), so maybe you'll contribute to that?

I totally plan on trying to write some creative pieces, and personal essays. It's just been so long since I've done any kind of writing like that, so I'm just gonna have to go with the skills I have and try to improve.

welcome @laurashrout to the best community ever, i hope you find what you't looking for

hey thanks! It's been interesting!

Welcome! You will find a lot of writers here, from fiction, poetry, travel and more. Finding those discord groups and people to share with is a matter of checking the tags and finding good content, commenting and reaching out. As far as what we want to read, be yourself, write what YOU want and you will find an audience. I find writing for yourself to be the most fun and rewarding, the rest will follow. Have a great day!

thanks so much! I'm looking forward to just exploring and finding my writing voice. I've joined the esteem discord group, so if you have some recommendations, I'd really love it! You have a wonderful day, as well!!!

I want to read posts about Iowa and being an Uber driver. Welcome!
