Steemit is a blessing and a curse, mostly a blessing but it can definitely be distracting to think about the potential rewards of trying to earn a few more bucks, when you really should be working on the craft... I feel the same way as you sometimes in this post.

Luckily overall I think Steemit is a big positive benefit for me and most artists here - it encourages us to get better and keep creating and posting new artwork.
