Today, I see tulips in your painting.
Last week, I wrote my best post or one of them, and you came along and upvoted it, and it went on to become the 4th highest earning in those 12 hours. It was past midnight when 250 votes came in and I watched in amazement, maybe shock, so I put in a lot of effort again the next day and that one fell flat. I have things to write about but they usually require some research so it's slow going. But I'm still happy because that post doubled my power which means my 1 cent upvote, that I had in my 2nd week on Steemit, is back. It feels nice to give more than dust.
I saw that. I voted, and yes, you hit the jackpot after. I believe Curie came along after. They supported some of my work when I was just getting started here.
Just keep going. I try my best to get around to as many posts as possible and drop a vote but I did kind of freak out last week after feeling useless because I can't get to everyone. I bugs me, to see thousands of accounts and people aren't voting for each other, but they're complaining about nobody voting for them. I literally sacrificed 100k just to be able to hand out $2 votes today and some people have the nerve to say that's not enough.
Just enjoy yourself. I'm trying my best through this slump. I've actually been working harder. I thought about writing up another quick post with some new art that I've worked on all day but I think I'll just save it and call it day.
Yes, Curie came through and it was REALLY EXCITING. I had also gotten some music and science bots before, the 40 vote kind, and that was REALLY EXCITING. The best part about more power is my 1 cent vote lasts longer. I use it up every day. Lately, I have been seeing 6 votes not adding up to a penny and people won't stay long for that.
I think I got a break when I first joined to have had a 1 cent vote back then - everyone must have been out Christmas shopping.
