I think the biggest shift I’ve had here at steemit was caused by what you hinted at, to stop focusing on each post individually and focusing more on my entire experience at steemit. Some posts take a lot of work and get nice attention. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t post that kind of stuff but perhaps it’s time hasn’t come yet, which is how I see my fiction now. Perhaps fiction on steemit needs to come from someone with an established reputation, so I can build that reputation other ways doing other things that I enjoy. Anyone who focuses on the friendships and possibilities here does well eventually. That’s not to say everyone who does well focuses on these but forget all that, at least it has gotten better these past few months.
