Thank you for the specifics! This is great for a new user trying to get a practical idea of what's possible.
Oftentimes people are very vague when talking about this kind of stuff. You included your field of expertise, frequency of posting /replying, and roughly the amount you made.
I wish everyone who gives tutorials about Steemit would include this basic info - very few seem to!
Not to mention you even worked in some compliments for your lady as well as some great general advice ("just write what makes you happy") . Good stuff!
