I fully agree about being creative to get you further along on your Steemit journey. I started with sharing my 3D modeling projects and had some early success - I was picked for Curie on one of them and thought I'd got it made. Similar rewards were not forthcoming, but instead of lamenting or going round with my hand out, I have joined the fiction-workshop on PALnet and have learned to write fiction. I am doing ok, but more than that have a new found love for writing.
