Well, you're certainly one of the hardest working Steemians, just in terms of the sheer volume of high quality posts you publish. Unfortunately, "our type" of writing tends to take the longest to gain traction (following) in social media because it's a specialized niche following... on the upside, consistent publishing also leads to some of the most loyal followings. Barring major disasters, by this time next year you will have 2000 followers and that consistency will be there.
In the meantime... life is typically unpredictable.
