"I think of it as a place that keeps me writing and I don’t expect it to give me very much for it."
That was the attitude I went in with. Just stick at it. Steemit's still a young enough platform that it's not impossible for newcomers to get noticed, like on Youtube.
By the way... thank you for the super generous upvotes. I wish my literal 2 cents could make a real impact on your posts. I’m also trying to conserve this week so I can keep upvoting all the people who submit entries to my contest. Just letting you know that I would return the favor if I could.
Ain't no thing but a chicken wing. I'd like to see more writers make Steemit their home anyway. Just remember me when you blow up on here. :)
