Very inspiring story - It's amazing how through all of these up and downvotes, you still managed to find @sirwinchester's buried gem.
But what really shocked me was the fact that he made so much money off it. I can only imagine how much visibility it must have had. No wonder this got to you.
So you think he will keep up the quality in the future?
For me, producing quality content has also always been a top priority. It seems like you are very good-hearted and hard working and really want only the best for your fellow steemians.
So all in all, I am very happy to read that you have discovered sirwinchester's writings. Look at it this way: Now that you've discovered one minnow, you can appreciate the rest of us even more. So maybe you should see your past as a blessing, and pass your life lesson onto your kids.
As for me, @stellabelle, I'm kind of in the same boat as @sirwinchester . The only difference is, my gems have not yet been discovered.
I never wrote a story mentioning you, so you might need to read my post history to understand the analogy.
