Laconic Flow has been on Steemit for 18 days

When I joined Steemit I didn't realize how important the introduce yourself post was, so I'm putting more than ten seconds of effort into this one.
My name is laconic Flow, except its not. Laconic Flow is the name that I rap under. I use it as a screenname sometimes because you remembering my rap name has more value to me then you remembering my real name. I've been rapping for a little over five years. Nothings blown up. Sigh. But I have a hundred and eighteen tracks up on SoundCloud and another 100 in reserve, + I have an album coming out soon called 28 Jays Later.
Rapping feels good because I have high standards and I know when I'm hitting them. I've been blind since birth, and I have a Seeing Eye Dog named Holiday. She's a yellow lab.
To use the internet and other computer stuff I use a screen reader which is a program that reads all the text on the screen out loud. There're keyboard commands that let me navigate through different elements so I don't have to read all of say the steemit front page when I'm 'looking' at something.
When I'm not rapping, I like reading books, mainly nonfiction recently. Lots of history and political science, philosophy and social history. I like novels also, but lately I've been on a nonfiction kick.
I also like to write, which is why I'm here. I've written six novella's for teenagers and I'm working on a novel that's gotten big and out of control before the plots kicked into high gear. Sigh again.
I knew about reddit, but only bothered to check it out six months ago and I dug it, then I heard that steemit is similar to reddit but with monetized upvotes and that was enough to get me to sign up because the idea has been a long time coming.
I've been here for almost three weeks, and I'm curious to see how the community grows. I didn't get in at the ground floor, but hopefully I did get in on the second floor.

this will not sink into a void. :)

Hi and welcome. I'm pretty new here.

How well does steemit work with a screen reader? I guess people could develop apps to make it more accessible as all the data is available.

Good luck with your music
