Hey there, @waterful! Welcome to the platform.

It's so great that you're giving blogging a shot despite never doing it before! One thing you can do to improve is tell us more about yourself!

You said you were studying in Australia. Are you originally from there?
How long have you been playing the cello?
How did you find out about Steemit?

There are all sorts of things we'd love to know about you!

I always give the same advice to all new Steemians, so I'll leave these tips here for you in hopes that they will help you along the way.

• Familiarize yourself with the way the platform works by browsing the FAQs.

• Check out the Steemit Etiquette Guide for tips on how to interact with others in the community and how to introduce yourself to everyone.

• If you'd like some advice on how to make your posts great, take a look at this guide I posted about polishing your posts.

• Finally, when it comes to commenting, check out this guide that will get you on the road to becoming a comment expert!

I'll be following along to take a look at your future posts, but if you're interested in plugging into a community that focuses on supporting its members and curating great content, look no further than The Unmentionables. Come check us out!

The rest is up to you, so best wishes and happy Steeming! (but of course if you have any questions, feel free to ask!)
