Firstly, THANK YOU. I don't know how I found you, maybe in my front-end user quest for involvement in LIBERTY and HARD DIGITAL A$$ET$, beyond just speculation; maybe by accident. Can't remember since I jumped in head first a few weeks ago.
BUT
In feeling out the platform, while juggling an amazing family and a financial Damocles and a new career, I need HALP, with a capital ALP.
I want this to be a prominent facet of my liberty, but how?
Validation
I used to want to be a writer, but life happened, several times in a row, simultaneously, and I was never able to reach the perfect balance of dreamwork, life, and workwork.
But STEEMIT is as close to the real thing as I've gotten, where what I write and share and post can be acknowledged as a creation etched into the blockchain, that wyrm of existence, a cyber Akashic record. And by the graciousness of you fellow Steemians, things kicked off with rewarded implements that directly apply to living, value ascribed.
Crap.
Now, having a short string of dud posts as I grasp at digital straws, the bleakness and disillusionment tries to creep in, to trickle and ebb away at the spirit I try to engender into my words. I don't want it to.
I tried to find some advice, in what time I have been able to snag for myself, and scour a little further down feeds, and writing advice is helpful but not quite the crux of what I'm seeking. But let's face it, quite a bit of it is buried into the fossil record of Past Payouts.
Time
Yeah, TIME. I am somewhat convinced that the post that reached the most people who valued it reached the most people who valued it because it was released into the wild early evening on a Sunday. My theory is it was the last internetting us front-enders did at any length before the grind of the week kicked in.
The Bridge
THOU WHALES are atemporal and unbound from the meatbag coil. But what becomes of minnows strained against cyber baleen like so much krill?
Any links or usage stats or not-too-mean-spirited jokes are welcome. Please halp, Steemit, show me the light.
