What the frock is a crohn's chick?!
Hello, Steem community!
This is a "getting to know me" post! My name is Sharnii and I am a chronic health sufferer and illustrative artist from Adelaide. If you've come here to check out the fashionable frock you'll be sadly disappointed. Sorry!
I was first introduced to the wonderful community of the Adelaide Steem meet-up by Sharn @ursa who then made introductions to her wonderful partner Steven @holoz0r. Through them, they connected me to a wonderful community of Steemians here in Adelaide, known as the #mallsballers where I have met @mattclarke and @o07, along with so many others. I am very excited to be here and share not only my unique brand of artwork and graphic design but also to share my chronic disease journey with all of you.
A little about me:
Since I was 9 years old, I have always had a major love affair with all things creative. From drawing people with my uncle to reading Lord of the rings with my dad, that love has grown over the years into a passion for graphic illustrative design and fiction story writing. A personal project of mine is to publish my first paranormal fiction novel Eternity and to also illustrate the main characters from this series of books. I plan to use this platform to showcase my artwork and to also give you sneak peeks into the novel I am writing!!
But not everything is peachy keen in this world and as you may have guessed from the username and title, I suffer Crohn's Disease. For those who don't know what that is; very briefly it is an autoimmune disease where your immune system malfunctions and begins attacking your guts. And where there is one chronic illness... there is always more! Through my YouTube channel That Crohn's Chick, I create video content that educates the public about the hidden diseases many suffer both mentally and physically. I find value and therapy in sharing my plight with the world and finding other people who can understand the nuances of disease.
On steem, I want to share my stories and artwork with all of you. I aim to connect with any community of chronic health sufferers so that we can support each other as creators.
Thank you for reading this far through, I'm thrilled to be here and can't wait to share more of me with all of you.
Love YOUR Guts,

Yes that is what we want to hear, we love it to 😉
Oh wow! Welcome to the Steem family. :)
You and I have interacted a few times at the meetings and I am glad that you are finally on the platform.
My apologies for being a little overwhelming with my enthusiasm for Steem. There is a lot to take in, but you have the benefit of learning at your own pace and also can ask @ursa and @holoz0r any questions if you need help.
I have a list of tools that you might find useful, but I'll let you test the waters at your own pace.
I look forward to learning more about Crohn's Disease and how you cope with it and some more of your impressive artwork.
Once again, welcome aboard!

Hey, good to see you made it here. Looking forward to your sneak peeks and oddly curious to hear more about how you deal with Crohn's. It's something you don't really hear about often and there are probably more assumptions than facts floating around.

Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at https://www.steemiandir.com I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
