It really hurts to see a good post left unappreciated, that's why I upvote every good post I come across, regardless of my low SP. I just try to show appreciation in my own little way.
As a minnow, i've had my fair share of frustrations on steemit, but top of the list was when after I spent so much time to come up with what I though was a good post, had over 20 views but just 3 upvotes! I felt bad.
On a brighter side,the thought of getting better and better with my writing is the most exciting thing about steemit.
Trust me if you stick with it for a while. You should see much improvement with your skills. I have witnessed this myself.
No doubt, my writing is really getting better. I'm even surprised by it
