I have written a lot in the past. I wrote novels, theological treatise, basic logs for myself, eulogies, fiction--none of it published, though I tried many times. My best success has been on Steemit.
Steemit has surprised me, and I'm at the stage where I need to think seriously about making the best of it, and actually plan posts with rough drafts, etc.
Without a doubt, Steemit is a unique venue and opportunity. I approach it how I have approached pretty much all my writing, other than Farcebook posts and online forum participation... just attempt to do my best each time.
Sometimes I end up really happy with it... sometimes not so much. And the odd thing is that the rewards don't seem to particularly correlate with what I consider "my best." But I think that's just the nature of the beast.
I suppose Hemingway summed it up best: 'Write the truest sentence you know' begin with that...
