Greetings Steemit, and All Who Inhabit It!

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

I always find that introducing myself is a lot like approaching a blank page. Should I open up with a breezy anecdote? No, too whimsical. Maybe I should start with a profound quote? Too quasi-intellectual. Oh, how about I just tell them my name and job title? Then I'll be bland at best and yawn-inducing at worst.  

See the problem? There are endless possibilities and so little time to work with. And yet, artists deal with this overwhelming burden every day, so what's my excuse?  

Aha! I've got it— I'll keep things simple. After all, brevity never goes out of style, right?   

I'm a writer. Sometimes I write for business. Other times I write for pleasure. This time is a bit of both. My blog will cover anything writing-related, ranging from the basics of the craft to industry standard practices. 

With that said, I look forward to seeing Steemit grow and helping content creators grow with it.
