Hello @quanticle and welcome to this borderless ocean called Steemit!
You for sure know how to write and we can expect interesting things popping out from that mind. For sure consistency is a required skill here if you want to see some results, but don't discourage yourself and, for now, focus on having fun and creating valuable contributions - as you rightly underlined.

Also, allow me to give you a hint!

The @greetersguild is a great community that cares for newbies and helps them. We at @greetersguild genuinely want to see users learn, earn and grow.
