Providing original content for steemit - Follow/Subscribe here.
I am currently buzzing off my nut here, I never thought I would have such a successful post I am simply blown away. A massive thank you to @tombstone for voting up my story , it truly means more than you know.
I have been trying to get motivated to get back into writing, I used to be constantly writing songs, short stories and I have always wanted to write a novel. Well this year I started, so far it has been going well. Since starting on here I have been writing another story, one that ties into the reality of the one I had already started writing and I have been posting it on here since I joined 12 days ago.
The atmosphere in this community has been amazing, everyone I have encountered has just wanted to make steemit better and to provide decent content. I have been a bit obsessed with steemit finding a place where I could safely post my original work and getting real feedback from an active community.
I have been sitting at my computer every spare moment I have writing, reading and voting I love being able to show people that you think, what they have produced is worth something even when it's just 2 cents. I have found myself glued to my screen waiting for a comment or a response from someone else, the suspense when you post is thrilling. Steemit is a drug and I am addicted.
It is 1:50 am now and I have spent pretty much every night online, until anywhere from 2am to 4am at the worst. My eyes are no longer cooperating voluntarily and I have come down with the flu, I choose steemit over sleep and now it's catching up with me.
2 hours ago I was fading for the night when I thought I would go and grab another coffee, to help fuel my steem addiction. However when I returned with my new cuppa, I refreshed my story to see if everything looked right and I didn't need to change anything - when I realised my post was suddenly worth almost $300!
I have been going insane over $10 and $12 post I have done, thinking how amazing it was people were reading my stories i was stoked. When I saw the figure I was in complete shock, I simple just didn't think something like this would happen to me - Nothing like this ever happens to me, feels like it's raining money.
I was so excited I did my own little happy dance, squealed and then I literally called my mum to tell her the news. I am just so far beyond thrilled I can't believe it happened to me, I feel so amazing. I have never been involved in anything like this before, I have never really had a community there to take an interest in what I was doing.
I have been bouncing off the walls for over 2 hours now, the adrenalin burst was insane. I am just so happy I never thought something I wrote would achieve this much success, thank you so much to all those who have voted. Not only for me, but for anyone whose content you find interesting and helpful.
I no longer needed the coffee to help me keep going. So I decided to start writing this post however it has been two hours since I started writing this and I have noticed that the later it gets, the longer it takes me make sure what I've written makes any sense.
I am beginning to fade again, so I think it's time to post this and go to bed but I might just grab one more coffee first. :P
