Photo was from my Boost Smartphone. With the photoscape app I
added a few touch-ups.
My dream is to someday quit my dead-end, body killing, stress
inducing job. I joined the world of Steemit over a year ago. I
took my time getting to know people and how to create posts.
I didn't get many people looking at my posts, and still don't. I
know there are tons to look at on a daily basis. I see many posts
better than my own that don't seem to get noticed either.
But I will not give up trying. You want to know why? Because I am
no quitter. I get in a funk, like many others, and then pull myself
back out. I try harder each time. Maybe it is just my tags I use,
that put a damper on being noticed. But I will try, try, and try again.
I joined the writers group and love the daily challenges. It is such
a great brain exercise. I still run into writers block, but I'm learning
to "just let the words flow."
My dream is to become a great writer. I love mystery, which is very
easy to tell from my posts.
I'm hoping that my novel will be my first sold book. After I complete
it, I will go back through and maybe edit it. There are too many
chapters to add link here, but you can go to my blog and check them
out. Here is the last chapter I did.

As long as I look up to the sky and see myself in that jetliner, I will be
able to find my motivation.
If you are just starting out here, keep your chin up. Sometimes our
dreams may take a little work to come true. If it's meant to be, it will
surely happen. Thank you for stopping by. I'd love to hear how you are
doing. What struggles you have or had in blogging.
Freewrite is ace, because every story is different. I never had any creative writing experience before I started.
As for tags, I don't use popular ones anymore. The best thing is to join communities, The Alliance being one of them. They are my tags.

I think in blogging and other endeavors in life, one has to be consistent and also reinvent oneself from time to time. You have been very diligent in posting regularly, and you are trying new things like the freewrite. Keep up the good work. I support your dreams!
