"Don't quit your day job."

That's what I hear when I tell me people I want to be a writer. I am a writer, and I still have my day job. I don't see Steemit as an immediate replacement for my day job in any sense.

Steemit requires a long game attitude. So I post here, and post and post. I am working on building relationships with others of like mind, too. @thesteemengine is just one avenue. I will participate in more groups to gain greater visibility to be sure, but I'm just going to grow by connecting.

I have found that it only takes a few loyal fans to start building a following. Even just one loyal fan is encouraging. I write because I like to write. I post my writing here because a blockchain has a rather permanent appeal to me.

So I will keep my day job and let the problem of turning writing into my day job solve itself by practicing the art of writing, every day. With every post I come closer to making that dream a reality.
