@inquiringtimes You are one of the lights I continue to look towards when discouraged by certain aspects of this platform. Deserving of every bit of SP you've garnered.

Let me know when you're ready for a collab :)

A collab sounds fab!

you and me both.....this blockchain world is holding my attention more than any other job...I'm glad i found you, as my life is definitely richer with you in it.

Awe... Blushing! I can say the same of you dear Slothy!

Really inspiring. I'm pretty new and was struggling with the advice that I've read in some places about establishing a niche for yourself and focusing on articles within a certain topic. That might work for some people who are inspired by things like food or gardening etc, but honestly what I'm inspired by is LIFE and KNOWLEDGE, and so I'd rather write about whatever new idea or concept I've come across or that I'm currently passionate about. It was great to read your comment about writing what you're inspired to write. I think I'm already halfway there towards following that sentiment too.

Secondly, yes I really appreciate posts that contain links to whatever the author mentions. I've been led on to find so much other incredible stuff by following links that people were kind enough to post.

Finally, it's nice to know that you spend so long creating a post. I look at some people's accounts and their history of posts really seems like a labour of love - but it's intimidating to think that such quality stuff could be banged out in 10 minutes. Now I feel better about the time it takes me to write something. Thanks for sharing these thoughts !

Building knowledge while earning steem is like a dream :)

As far as how long it takes me to create... some articles take quite a bit longer than 8 hours to be honest. It really depends on the subject. Now that I've been writing for some time, I can even write an article in 4 hours occasionally :)

Steem On, Friend!

you are beautiful dude. Congratulations for holding on to your steemit employment for such a tasty stretch of existence. It is amazing that this is your only source of income and inspiring that your have built yourself on quality posting and genuine community relation. Massive love my friend! x (you rock)

that's really sweet of you to say! You are quite beautiful yourself. Inspiring, really <3 I wish I really understood and knew your ways.

I don't really think of it as a job, however, it's my only source of income, and I spend 10-12 hours a day reading steem posts, researching cryptocurrency, and learning everything I can learn. Occasionally, I even publish an article.

It's a passion and we can earn from it. You have aptly written it down to describe that this is not a job.
I also dove into head first I was introduced to it, hoping to make a living. But that has totally changed. I value this platform now as a source of knowledge.

Thank you for sharing.
Cheers

I was going to write something like this, I totally agree with you. I would add that it's not wise to treat it as your only income source, or that you have a good plan for what to do if the votes or coin value evaporates. Don't make yourself too vulnerable to the tides of the markets, including the information market.

I hear that. I'm trying to build up some other investments, as well... and hopefully within the next yearish, I'll have developed my skills and knowledge base to the point that I'm not as dependant upon steem. In the meantime, this is a great opportunity and learning experience :-D

Yes, agree. And earning something by being creative is a bonus. And if we become so good at it, we just cannot avoid the in coming income.
Thanks

Hi @inquiringtimes :) I love that you love steemit!! Seriously, the excitement I see from you and so many others here is really infectious!

I also wanted to thank you so much for the delegated vests I woke up to today in my wallet! Such a pleasant surprise...they will not go to waste I can assure you! I have a question however...are they on loan to me for a certain amount of time or mine to keep? Hope that's an ok question...I'm still learning here:) Cheers!

the delegation is 3 months or when I remember to remove it, which ever happens second.

Well thank you again; I will put it to good use regardless of how long I may be on borrowed time:)

Memes and cleavage posts are all that make it here kid! Take your research back to them high falutin schools where they belongs! We don't take kindly to those kind here.

Congrats on the milestones man! You've gailed legend status!

what you aren't gonna drop a silly meme on me right now?

Thanks for all the help along the way bud. My life wouldn't be the same without ya!

2000 SP, 1.9k followers and 63 rep is a great feat. I've been here for the same time as you but you have achieved a lot more. So, that means you're doing something right. Keep Steemin' ;)

This blog should have been much more excited and grateful for how far I've come! but I've been in a somber reflective mood, and feeling a little lost at where I'm going ... Thank you!

I feel the same at times because even I write on Steemit as a full time blogger. Future feels uncertain at times when my confidence is low but keeping faith and steeming on. :)

I agree with u in everything mi friend. This is a special, different, and a beautiful place to stay, I love when people really appreciate content. And here I find so much information more easy than google. Thx for always be a good creator of content and relationships! Keep on! 🙏🏻

I'm better at the content than the relationships...

thank you!

I am completely overwhelmed, you have achieved so much in so little time. I really hope and pray I will be able to achieve as much as u in the same time limit. Thanks for sharing, your work and achievement gives me hope that a lot of things are possible

It's been a lot of work, make no mistake about that! Worth every minute of it!
