I like your philosophical and spiritual approach to Steemit, @stellabelle. I've also been enjoying your posts since I first signed up here a month ago.
Being a writer who is married to a musician, and who spent my teenage years acting and singing with the local theater groups, I understand the pull between artistic integrity and authenticity of expression, and the desire to make money from what we produce. I do believe you are correct in that detachment from the outcome is the key.
We need to keep producing what we love, be ourselves, and trust that our audience will find us. When they do, the money will follow naturally. It's a process that can take time....I still make far more from doing business writing for clients than I do from my novels....but if one has patience, the desired success from more enjoyable, creative endeavors will come.
I see myself as a best-selling author one day, as long as I keep writing what I like. Other people will have the same tastes as me, and my audience will find me....a small one already has, which I hope will continue to increase with future books I write.
I read your post on detaching from the monetary outcome and focusing on what you enjoy, and that is exactly the right attitude to have about these things. It works in the artistic community at large, and it will work here, too.
