It's very hard to feel like you aren't seen when you are jumping up and down and shouting and investing your energy into putting a piece out there others will love. I love Steemit because of the possibility of being seen, but I also get frustrated because work I will have put my heart and soul into often falls under the radar, and days when I'm posting because I don't want to break routine rather than because I love being here--maybe that's the day I get a solid upvote. I want to write, plain and simple. And I don't want to have to starve to do it!
