I accidentally started writing a book on steemit. I'm almost finished with it. Granted, it's freewrite, so it's like a first draft, but some people seem to like it. You just gotta get started and then really want to finish it.

As to the money...I don't view it as "funny money". Although occasionally I call it "fake internet money" as a kind of joke. It doesn't come easy though. I have more than likely spent far more time working on posts than I should have. I likely make more from trading the crypto I get paid from posts. So, for me, the combo works out.

And as for the community...ehh... I have yet to see it. I've met tons of awesome individuals, and some of those individuals can network pretty well in their individual groups, and end up getting things done, but I haven't seen a community here. I see a network of tons of individuals and groups, all working separately and occasionally together. There are groups that are their own communities, but I don't think there's a community as a whole.
