8000th Post

I know these stats include comments as well as blog posts, but it's not a bad figure.

On average, that's 444.444 posts per month - or roughly 14.814814 per day.

I took around 3 months off, so I guess it could be 533.333 per month and 17.171717 per day but that doesn't make it any more impressive.

To round-up my Steemit experience in real terms.

I've made 8000 posts - this is my 8000th.

I've posted 4 full novels in my Wolf series.

I wrote one full novel 'live' in serialised form and later published it.

I posted 13 short stories and 14 'Penny Dreadfuls' for an anthology I also later published.

I've almost finished posting 7 short stories of Dusty The Demon Hunter.

I've posted more than 30 'Fact or Fiction' stories.

There are perhaps 40 in the series 'I'm surprised I turned out as well as I did, given my childhood ...'

And many more posts on tips for newbies, editing, writing and other helpful (or not) articles.

There are TWO SteemFests under my belt and another one (I hope) this year to make it a hat-trick.

Not to mention the 5000+ followers I've gained.

Add to that, the massive amount of crypto that I'm still learning about.

But the very best thing of all is the interaction with real people (not the bots, thank you). The friendships, advice, recommendations, meets and parties - basically, it's the PEOPLE OF STEEMIT that make this worthwhile - otherwise it would just be another job.

Thanks for the feedback, the encouragement, the questions and advice I've received. I appreciate it all much more than you can know.

I believe there's more to come with Steemit and if you feel discouraged and concerned that you're not getting the attention, the upvotes, the crypto you'd like, just give it time, learn what you do best and carve that niche.

You may not appeal to everyone (I know I don't) but you don't have to - just appeal to a few at a time and your 'brand' will expand. Try NOT to compare yourself with anyone else, it's not good practice. You'll either sell yourself short or become despondent and neither are good. Compare yourself with yesterday - how far you've come since last week - last month - last year!

Good Luck in your Steemit Journey and don't forget, you're ahead of those that haven't joined yet!
