I'm with you! From what I've seen those that are successful on here get that way from just being dedicated to building themselves. Those that stuck to their guns got rewarded with a larger following because people enjoy the authenticity of their style. At least that's how I see it.

I haven't started writing on here yet, I've just been commenting a lot but I've been brainstorming. Everything that I've come up with is basically something near and dear to me. I'd love to be able to categorize my thoughts and have others be able to benefit from it and I can't wait to get started.

Seeing posts like this excite me though, because if little minnows like us who get nothing for our posts are pledging to bring quality content then the future is bright for steemit. Cheers
