I have always wanted to write while little. But I never really do. Contemplated owning a blog, but found setting up one complex plus the fees to run it. I gave up. But suddenly there was steemit, everything I have always wanted is right there staring at me. I jumped in. Never really considered myself a writer. But I just like writing about things I've experienced or thought of. I know that sounds contradictory, but that's how I feel.

I had very same feelings about writing.....I never considered myself a writer! It was only in desperate times after the recession, when i lost everything that I applied for over 300 jobs......the only job I was offered was a writer! I never wrote professionally before this! It was just luck......I always kept diaries, though and as a child i had over 20 international penpals. As a child, I wrote almost every day. Simple stuff....observations...
Steemit is our personal blog....not many really get it that they don't have to pay for hosting, web address or anything...the free tools are not understood, except by a few of us.
I knew instantly that I would build my palace on Steemit. And I used to pray that it would not be destroyed...

The only time I came close to writing as a child was when I wrote a distant uncle in the USA to send me a bike. The story could make for an interesting post. I just might do it. Hehehe

I kept pieces of paper of scribblings. Then, I wanted to be an author to impress my Dad. I know he likes reading. His old bookshelf filled with books attest to this. But it never really turned into a book as I keep losing it. Wish there was steemit then to keep the scraps of jottings.
