It's surprising that your story absolutely matches with my fictitious example, even the time periods (leaving after two weeks). Thanks for sharing your story with us, @teodora!
You are totally right: we have these moments when we are able to deliver and then there are days when we don't find any inspiration or creativity. However, you had a friend that pushed you, for instance. What if steemit could be that friend to new users just providing a helping hand saying "Hey, it's going to be tough, but I swear it's worth it."
Again, thanks for taking your time and commenting. You've got a new follower now :-)
