I regret not getting into it earlier. I actually joined back in Sept. 2016, wrote one piece, didn't get a vote and figured I just didn't have what it took to make it on here. I wish I had stuck with it and put the time in back then to learn how Steemit works and get involved in the community. Oh well, I have decided that it is better to start now than not at all. I think I am actually becoming addicted! I love Steemit! What a great community! Thank you for your "face the facts" post.
