thank you for the support @crowe ! yes it is a challenging mind game to be new on steemit! I'm brand new on steemit and I keep telling myself that no matter how much people read my stuff or how much dollars I make, keeping a strong determination to write regularly teaches me discipline and definitely helps me to refine my writing skills. It also teaches me patience and perseverance which I guess in this world are 2 main values everyone need to achieve success in whatever domain.. so steemit teaches us a lot more... even if no one reads us.. ;)
