YES mun.
When I sunk my teeth into Steemit, a whole other level of creative flow was activated. Once my subconscious mind grasped the incentivization piece, it wouldn't stop feeding me ideas to be written.
And the keys to my success so far (if you'd consider over $10k of Steem Dollars in a month) has been exactly what you've described:
Write for passion & self/expression with complete AUTHENTICITY
The discipline to just keep at it.
Of course, there are skills to develop along the way - but with commitment, success can happen FAST here if taking & implementing the excellent feedback the system & community offer... And it's just damn fun writing & sharing, too! :-)
And I am here ! ......all because of you ! 😘🤒 hehee !
Yeah, much to learn but I feel like it's a good idea to get a few of the basics down and then just start spitting out whatever flows to you. Obviously I got some work to do to get a few more posts ranks but at least I did something today :)
