Welcome to Steem, Joanna! I think most people begin their blogs here without a clear plan of what content they want to share. Bright side, many of them have fun figuring it out as they interact with the community and I hope this is so for you as well. 🤗
I'm glad that you haven't given up on your dream to quit writing. We've many initiatives on our chain for those who enjoy the craft. My favorite two are Bananafish and Freewritehouse. Each of these supportive communities are full of wonderful people who encourage others to branch out and enjoy the fun of writing with various contests and prompts.
Blessings to your family for supporting you through your medical needs and to you for maintaining a positive outlook. There are many on our chain who have had to reorganize their lives around medical issues so you're in good company to share your stories with us.
I hope that you'll be able to travel to your heart's content someday (hopefully soon) in the future and that we'll be able to read all about it. Please enjoy your day and should you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
We encourage everyone to explore the various posts and to leave personal comments on those that you wish (for example - thoughts regarding the content or a sharing of a similar experience you've had). This platform thrives through interaction as it's the best way to build relationships with other Steemians while finding communities and initiatives that peak your interests.
We like to advise bloggers to cite if images, videos, etc. used in their posts are of their own creation. This practice gives the creators an opportunity to have it clearly labeled that the works portrayed are the rightful property of the party posting it.
Another tip that we share with everyone is to be careful of copyright infringement when using material that is not of their original creation. Content (for example - images from a website) that grants permission for reuse is acceptable for content creators to utilize within their posts provided there is appropriate attribution to the source. Here's a link that will provide you with more information.
We wanted to let you know, we have given you a 25% upvote, are now following you, and are introducing you to everyone we know. You can visit our post HERE.
You can also visit our discord server, The Steem Terminal, which is your one-stop location for learning about destinations on the Steem Blockchain & Discord. Here you will find people who are willing to answer the questions you may have as a new Steemian, documents to assist you, a place to learn and practice, and find out about the many opportunities to connect with other Steemians!
Welcome to the Steem Community.
Thank you so much. I need to explore more 'cause I still try to figure it all out. At night I have so many bright ideas, but when I wake up they are all gone. :D Thus, I'll keep on exploring and finding people here. Cheers!
