Of course! We're always looking for eloquent, interesting authors here on Steemit to add value to the platform. Pretty sure you're one of 'em :D.
Be sure to look at the posts in #introducemyself and do a post that is like them with a picture of yourself and a note with the date and the word "Steemit" written on it. Voters that add more value tend to only go for people who are verified in this way (though you certainly don't have to and there are always exceptions). Will definitely help your odds here, though.
Again, don't be afraid to ask questions. This platform is still in early stages and may aspects of it can be a tad intimidating for the uninitiated.
