Hey nexusfyre! It's late and I landed on your post as I was about to turn everything off. After reading the first part of your post, I started to read your story and you're right, it is long. However, I so want to read it!! I am making it a point to read it before the end of the weekend and will give you a comment when I'm done, for sure.
But I wanted to say thank you. I am very new to Steemit and I'm still navigating through this platform. My father told me about Steemit and I got really excited about it mainly because I've always wanted to write a blog but never knew where to start. Until this past June, that is! Finding your post is inspiring as I am in the process of finishing my first book. I see from your sharing that there is a community of writers here that contribute to each other for the betterment of our passion.
So awesome!!! I'm super excited!
