it is my goal to create some authentic conversation here on steemit

This is a great goal! There are some things I can see that would likely make this more likely to happen and would contribute a bit more to the overall value of these posts, which right now I'm not sure totally lines up. The biggest and easiest one I would suggest is to come back to your posts and respond to the people who are leaving you thoughts on your work, so the conversation isn't quite so one sided~ reading the same text each day and not seeing any feedback on the inspiration that people are sharing with you on your work prompted me to give you a little bit myself :)
