Well, this seems nice!
To introduce myself, I am an old street urchin/hippy who writes stories and essays. I've read approximately one Science Fiction novel a day for about 50 years. I study everything. It's time for me to start writing about it all in a serious way.
You're going to be fine writer in the platform then @baerdric.
By the way, it would be much better if you can put picture of yourself in your intro post.
I don't actually have a link to a photo unless this works -

Grr.... trying different things now. Steemimg is not sending (or I am not receiving) their account verification email)
No account verification will be sent to your email, only to your mobile phone.
Their page says, an email has been sent to {my address}. I did not receive anything on my phone. I'll try something else.
Oh the last time I created an account, the confirmation were sent thru phone. Maybe its new.
