Hi @eaglespirit, I am just passing by to say I enjoyed reading your post, and actually learned a few new words from you (English is not my mother-language, but I enjoy it a lot).
I've been trying to reach out and meet new people and, as you well said, The cold stark truth is that blogging is hard work.
I keep on having writing ideas to deliver to Steemit. The nice thing is. I was used to hand-write on paper, but that is always lost in both time & space. And suddenly, this platform became my drafting paper. And that feels good! (although publishing demand some extra "polishing" here and there... that is fine).
See you around.
