Being on Steemit has set my imagination on fire!!! What I learned in my first week posting and meeting people here

I am constantly thinking of things that I want to share. It is so much fun.

Instead of just writing all of those posts right away, I am getting to know other people here and reading posts. I am joining groups and testing where I fit in. There are chat rooms and Facebook groups, a Linked In group, and some that I probably have not found yet.

Yes, I do feel like I am on fire with ideas and creativity!

What an incredible variety of writing styles and intentions on steemit.

Some people write in streams of consciousness. Some write to teach. There are posts that people write like a researched paper for a juried panel or a thesis in grad school. Politics can be harsh and angry. There is art and music. Colorful photography. Contests.

There is a lot of secret language and inside jokes. Don't get that at all yet? Maybe never.

Learning, learning, learning. Only so much can stuff inside my head each day.

Trying to see what I like, and what I don't. Almost everything I find is wonderful.
What a great combination of people and ideas......

Facebook Groups:
I have joined 29 groups, but obviously in less than one week I have not had the chance to get to know them all, or all the members yet. Here are a few that I have started being active with so far.

LinkedIn Groups:
My membership request is still pending in both of these, so I don't know how friendly they are yet!

Well, that is where I am so far. If I haven't met you yet, I look forward to it!

I will do updates as I learn more. More great people, more resources.

It is like learning a new language, and a new culture in an alternate dimension. I am IN!

I am an early early student in creating graphics. I will get better!
