This looks exciting. I'm a writer and a musician. I've published some things and posted some things. Though I plan to do the latter, here, I would add a caution to those of you with the same idea: If you are interested in publishing a story, essay, book, what have you, you will find that there are publishers and magazines and such who will not accept any submission that has been "published" online. That is, if you decide to post your brilliant and compelling and beautiful story, here, then you will find that at least some doors in the publishing world will be closed to you in terms of that story: Think about your long-term goals for any particular piece before posting it.
That said, I have some things that will find there way up on Steemit; it is my hope that this forum will get me a reader/listener or two.
