Im also an artist who just joined steemit, thanks for the advice. I feel as an creator sometimes its hard not to bunker in your own thoughts and miss the mark. Also finding what does well with one audience wont do well with another and shall be experimenting accordingly. But this is the cool thing with steemit, it challenges the artist to new thinking and adding a spot of anarchy to your mindset. Which should lead to initial disappointments but result in more fresh and adaptive creations.
