hello @alexbeyman,

Yep starting out is hard here, still at it myself day 75, and planning on sticking it out. I came to steemit, because of my wife and her friend, and am staying because there are just so many fascinating writers on here, with a heck of a lot of good stories. I have really enjoyed some of your stories, and will be around upvoting and reading when I can, and continuing to promote the writers on steemit in my little mag. I am sorry to hear about one of your friends being harassed off, I had a harasser or two. One was a busted down whale, the other a wanna be whale. I had to edit out my opposing point of view comments on a rant post he made, and then I muted and never looked back. It sucks when shit like that happens, but people just need to stand and push onward. Thank you again for the wonderful stories, and Whittier Story really was a hoot to read.
