Welcome @jessesweeney and congrats on your first post! Steemit is an absolutely MARVELOUS community and I have no doubt you will love it here! I have only been here for a relatively short time myself and I will quite readily confirm myself as a complete steemit Junkie. lol!
There is a lot to learn about how this platform ticks, as it is not the same as most others, but once you get your head wrapped around it, it is loads of fun!
All the best to you.
ps. Love your work by the way!!!
