Hello Steemit
Hello Steemit
My name is Timothy E Jorgensen. I am, among many things, a self-published author who likes to toil away in made-up universes for hours on end. It is one of a few ways that I break away from a stressed-filled reality of work, bills, chores, and tinier versions of myself constantly trying to sneak a 20 dollar bill out of my wallet. It doesn’t quite pay the bills but that has not yet become the point – and that is what keeps it fun. It is also what brings me to Steemit.
As a self-published author, I lack many of the resources that a traditionally published author enjoys simply because they are part of a publishing house. I have to find, and hire, my own freelance editors, artists, beta readers, marketers, etc… and it can be challenging at times to find the right equilibrium between quality and cost. Enter brilliant idea #352. Find a large community brimming with very vocal, hopefully helpful, opinions and let them red-ink and critique my work as I go; while hopefully entertaining them during the process.
I write in a lot of spaces – some days it’s Sci-Fi, others it’s horror or high fantasy – so as I go, hopefully you will find something that intrigues you enough to join me on the journey.
My plan is to start with a series that I have already begun publishing. I will post one chapter at a time on semi-weekly intervals, work that is already out there and available for purchase and consumption. The frequency of the releases may change, based on any feedback that I receive, but it will always be chapter by chapter. Once the first two books in the series are fully released on Steemit, I will begin posting 1st and 2nd drafts of parts 3 and 4 as I run through them.
All I ask is if you find something entertaining about the stories that I publish here, that you interact in some way. Let me know what is working for you, and what is making it difficult to trudge through. The first couple of books are already published, and I am aware of some of the mistakes I made along the way, but there isn’t much I can do there, except try desperately to avoid them in future. With your help, maybe we can keep the follow-ups free of these issues.
Welcome Timothy. As an Author and Writer you should find this place really useful if you go about it properly i.e. network with other authors by visiting and commenting on their blogs.
Again welcome to Steem :)

Welcome to the Steemit community Timothy @watchfulsilence!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.
Eight suggestions to consider:
1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, keychain and steemconnect,
3. The master password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and
be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
7. When you open your steemit.com, in the upper right corner of the page there are 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a lot of reading material that will help you.
8. Do NOT open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.
I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.
If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:
Have fun and happy Steeming!
