Hello Steemers! (Steemians? Steemites?)

in #writing7 years ago

Wanted to jump straight into the writing, but figured a word of introduction beforehand might be in order.

My name's Mario Vega -- I'm a freelance web developer and writer based out of Orange County, California.

Long-time cryptocurrency watcher, first-time investor. Steem seems to me massively undervalued, not only as a robust blockchain in itself but also as a link between cryptocurrency and the broader world. Hope to help change that by contributing here often!

Writing-wise, my work splits along three main categories:

  1. Fiction. I've loved writing fiction, particularly literary fantasy, for years -- I'm still not very good at it, but the prose and worldbuilding aspects of the creative process have always appealed to me.
  2. Tutorials. I've taught myself how to build websites over the last two years with the help of many fantastic educational tools and open-source projects. By sharing some of that knowledge I hope to make the path into self-sufficiency easier for those who come after me.
  3. Commentary. I've got a lot of opinions on stuff, and sometimes I share them.

I'll probably end up contributing a little bit of all three here, at least until I know (or you let me know) what does and what doesn't resonate with the broader Steemit community.

Welcome!

Yeah, good idea to do an intro post early on. It helps convince people you're a human, especially when the content of the post is coherent and well thought out. In addition, you'll want to upload some kind of avatar image, too.

I look forward to reading your work!

Avatar, good call! I shall do that. Thanks for reading!

"Long-time cryptocurrency watcher" gave me a chuckle because there are a lot of people sitting on the sidelines just watching and scared to jump in. Good on you for taking the leap. Investing in Steem is a fine choice and I wish you good luck!

Thanks! I'll do my best to send Steem to the moon
