RE: How I Got On Steemit—The Short And Long Of It
@glenalbrethsen - I undernstand your feeling about wanting to write.
Just after I finished high school I was considering 2 choices for University - Journalism and Engineering. My true interest was in writing, but the 'practical' part of me intervened, and I chose Engineering.
I have been a frustrated writer since then, but Steemit is a great way to get on track.
Good post, cheers!
Seriously, I would have chosen engineering, too, if I was anywhere competent at it. Journalism on any major level is not really journalism, anyway. It's something else. And most of the jobs don't pay nearly as well as most engineering jobs will.
That said, I feel your pain. There's nothing like having these thoughts of different stories in your head, all vying for attention, and then not really having time or a good paying outcome for them. Maybe Steemit is that place. Or maybe it's somewhere else. I do feel like I'm as close as I've ever been, and maybe I'm actually standing on the answer. That's exciting.
Yes, platforms like Steemit are an opportunity for many who might not otherwise have had them.
Good luck with your channel!
