You're running in the same direction I did when I first started writing on here: I think it took me almost a year to actually do my introduction post!
Your content is great, and I feel I should remind you that while upvotes and rewards aren't too amazing as a result of the current market prices, it's an excellent time to begin accumulating. With what you're posting, I'm happy to continue helping you accumulate.
I know when the market gets like this it just feels incredibly discouraging sometimes; as if the market just wants to take all you have worked towards, but holding through it will certainly pay off.
In short: keep up the hardwork, let's build up that SP!
FYI: I did find it pretty amusing. :^)
By default, earning anything here is more then I was earning before, really I'm just happy that I'm have enough RC that I can actually comment and upvote without worrying about not being able to post up articles. The RC thing took a while to get use too.
And I appreciate it, so far moving my content here to Steemit is seeming to be a good choice overall, so I'll likely be around for some time to come. :p
That understanding is what's going to let you get pretty far on here; as long as the account is growing, it's worth it.
