In the beginning, getting paid for blogging sounded like a great 💡 idea. I really need to move house, find somewhere dry and warm for the winter, and this might just be a means.
But in the meantime, after meeting some really fantastic people on steemit, reading interesting articles, rediscovering old talents and finding new talents...there is just so much to find here, so many wonderful and diverse people that it has become a community...my community.
Obviously the payment is still a draw, but no longer the biggest draw. I hope steemit is still around in years to come, as I would like to become a bigger longstanding part of this amazing community.
