@denmarkguy I think you and I joined Steemit at about the same time. For what it's worth, I usually stop to read everything you write. If for nothing else, I'm happy to have connected with you on this platform. You are certainly additive and inspirational to my life.
That being said, for me I try to write within the intersection of what I think interests others as well as what interests me. I can't really write on anything that doesn't interest me, just doesn't work. I'm happy to create good content, but I also want to get some form of compensation as well.
I think that the bottom line is "it's not about me" -- well mostly. In other words, I have to write something that others are interested in hearing, but I can't write unless I'm inspired to as well.
