Thanks, @sunjata. You have the right mindset. Once you find your passion it's a marathon, not a race. The goal for me has always been to made a sustainable living from my writing. The last few weeks' earnings have been a really blessing, yes, but I'm thinking long term. I'm excited to be on this platform and feel that there's a real future here. The engagement factor here is amazing versus Facebook. I got so tired of putting so much effort into posting content on my Facebook author page and my posts only reaching 2% of people who liked my page. Steemit is so much better. Thank you for all of your support. I'm thrilled to be able to share my novel here!
