I've been struggling, but things are getting a little better, thank you.
I happily discovered a group here called The Writers' Block, and they've been helping me with my fiction writing - providing really good editing feedback. It's been pretty encouraging.
The rise and rise of Bitcoin looks promising to me. I'd like to see some of it rub off on Steemit. There are things about Steemit I still don't "get," but I'm Steeming on... ;)
It's great when you can find a supportive writing group, especially with friends and people you trust because in my experience, it's easier to take constructive criticism and share ideas to help one another when everyone is on the ahem same page. :P
Good luck with your writing and here's to better, more lucrative times, and words a-flowin'.
