Thank you! I'm really glad this post has been received so well. I spent all day on it in hopes it would be helpful for others in Alpha and beyond. lol! And you're right, putting your heart into it makes all the difference. I think Steemit encourages this more than other blogging, honestly. Yes, you want to write for your audience, but write for yourself first. That's when we connect with others the most, I think, when we let our truth shine!
