After two decades of trying to become a full time writer my goal will very soon become a reality because of Steemit. Over the last twenty years I've done freelance work, published books, I was even often talked into working for free just for the "exposure".
Those days of working for free are now over, unless I choose to do so. The beautiful thing is now it's my choice. Steemit has given me that gift of freedom.
I often heard many visionaries say there would be a time when a high value would be placed on creativity and I think we're only beginning to see this vision come true. I'm so thankful that I never gave up on my dream.
I didn't write this post to brag but rather to encourage other creatives to put in the work and never give up. Your dreams are attainable, go after them. There is nothing in this life worse than regret.
