Hello from Melbourne!

Hello Steemians!

I'm Linny Plant based in Melbourne, Australia. I'm married with twins, and professionally, I'm a Software Consultant. This is an intro specifically for the Team Australia, but more generally, to make up for my dismal attempt when I was really new and lost. :)

Technically, I came to steemit because this platform had a unique application of the block-chain technology. I wanted to learn more about it. What I'm finding is that every time I look into something new, there are dozens more questions! So this will be a long road to travel.

Socially, I'm interested in meeting other writers, readers, runners, cyclists and women who seek balance with competing priorities. The writing community is lively, and I spend time hanging out in the @isleofwrite. As for women on steemit, I've found a welcoming group in @teamgirlpowa. I highly recommend both communities. Since running my first marathon, I've been awfully slack. So if anyone knows of any great running or cycling groups on steemit, then I'd love to know.

Creatively, I'm on this platform to seek inspiration. My current writing project is a fantasy-based adventure love story. I'm at the mid-way point and as you can see I've even done the cover - which I expect I’ll change again. But it’s been going on close to two years now, I just need to finish it. Work, children, life...the usual excuses.

And finally, I'm a disorganized, 'introverted' chatter-box who is mesmerized by colorful lights, loves chocolate, old junky/tacky/kitsch/retro/mid-century stuff, reading romance novels and is addicted to diet-coke. More importantly, my husband keeps me centred and my daughters remind me to be grateful, I’d be truly lost without them. I also really love my bike too…

If you got to the end of this post, thank you for reading!
