I prefer a straight shooter to drama any day. And I'm glad to hear your sights are clear, set for the long game, and wide enough to include more than those who are currently on the blockchain. I'm glad the ones who have stayed are here, and I hope Steem grows its user base, but you're right, there are so many more readers, and reaching them is going to take a different approach. Keep on keepin' on. I'm watching. And writing. ;)
Yep, sista, you and I agree that the long game is where it's at. So make good on your threat, please ma'am: keep writing! You create stories people want to read. Just because they didn't get published yesterday doesn't mean they won't get published tomorrow. They're certainly of worthy caliber.
Thank you! Your encouragement means the world. Off to a writers' conference this weekend. Hopefully that'll help get the words flowing and juice up my inspiration again! :)
