your account is created when you mine your first block, however, since you already have an account on steemit, you can use the private key for this account to also mine with. you can find your private key in the permissions link on top right of steemeit website under your account icon.

When I go to permissions I see public keys but no private key. I see PUBLIC POSTING KEY, PUBLIC ACTIVE KEY, PUBLIC OWNER KEY, and PUBLIC MEMO KEY.
Click show on the right of the public keys to show private keys. Use the active private key to mine
Thanks!
