I very much appreciated this post, being only in my first month on steemit. My baby steps falter on the path. But it is an interesting road to take, that's for sure. Daily I remind myself to focus on content. If I can provide people with interesting, thought provoking, and original content I'm doing my job as a writer. Content over currency! If along the way I generate some steem, so much the better. I'll be following your work.
