I did kinda wonder where you'd been, but very glad you found another outlet. I don't understand the game stuff at all, but I enjoyed reading your experiences with Steem. A couple of months ago, I thought I had a chance to make $20/week or so, too. Unlike you, I only have my writing. But, as others have reminded me "you'd be doing it even if you weren't making anything." Now, they've basically proved me right.
Congrats on your mulitple successes!
