What the hell was I thinking?
I Quit my job, took my child out of a good school to be home educated. Left England for France with my daughter and son not knowing what the future held. Now I ask myself what the hell was I thinking? The picture below was taken when I was suddenly hit me with the reality of enormity of what I had done.
Promenade des Anglais, Nice, France
It's not as bad as it sounds as I've seen some beautiful sights and got to spend time with my family. Adventure came with risk, trials and errors and as much as I am scared I will not return to the life I had.
Anyway enough of all the introspective crap let me introduce myself. My name is Sam and I'm a writer who loves reading, travelling, taking photos and being creative and I know very little about blockchain or crypto.
I'd like to post about my travels, would love to share my photographs and tell a few fiction stories on the way.
Nice to meet you all and I hope you all have good Tuesday. x

Welcome to steemit @createwonder.
Welcome the new steemians. Have a great day!
Welcome, @createwonder!
A lot of adventurers of spirit here. I'd like to help you and I can give a few pieces of advice:
It's a long-term thing this blockchain and all your interactions here. Be yourself and if you are consistent, you will grow. Slowly most likely. But it does not matter. Try looking a few years from now.
New accounts bump into the RC or Resource Cost problem when posting and commenting. The less SP or Steem Power one has, the less interactions with the blockchain are possible and the RC recharges about 20-25% per day. So try not falling a lot below 75% in general. The start is so slow but almost 6 months after mine I have absolutely no RC problems. I can't go below 90% and I interact a lot.
Do use steemworld.org/@yourusernamehere to check your status and see all the interactions like comments, mentions, votes, rewards coming and RC / Voting Power... any changes, soon after they were made.
Your first SP claimed after a week or so won't increase your SP total, because Steemit is currently delegating about 15 of your 15 total SP and they will undelegate the ammount you power up. So changes will come after you exceed 15 SP total. Then RC will grow.
So, post and comment sparingly and with more quality in less words/ images, etc. Even following people drains your SP so don't rush following at random.
Also, to be able to freely interact, join communities on their Discord servers and chat with them. That's the way to gain more visibility.
For writers I would recommend following and joining the @freewritehouse and @bananafish first. If you're into fiction, @gardengnomepubs, too.
Thank you @manoldonchev for taking the time to write and give me all the information and advice it has been very helpful.
You're welcome, again. I am glad I could help. Steem on!
