My introduction to Steemit and what I am expecting

in #introduceyourself6 years ago (edited)

Introduce yourself !!!!

A little bit about where I came from

I grew up in South Inglewood, a neighborhood in East Nashville. At the age of 14, I began selling drugs there at Litton Apartments. Litton Apartments was my stomping ground. It was crime ridden and a perfect training ground for young criminals like myself. I've done a lot that I am not proud of. I've sold drugs, robbed people and was sentence to 12 years in prison in 1998 for shooting a man with a 12 gauge. I figured it would be cool to write about some of my experiences in the form of novels. So here it is, MY BROTHER'S KEEPER.MyBrothersKeeperALBUMART.jpg

To see how well my material is and find ways to improve myself as a writer and artist. I have written a book that has been copyrighted but not edited so I am looking for a chance to get exposure for this project.

My weekly goals here on Steemit

  • Post a chapter of my book on a weekly bases.
  • Help curate and blog within this platform
  • Engage with the community

Always looking for con-structural criticism!

Thanx hope you enjoy chapter 1. And give me your feedback

hey welcome to steemit :)

Thanks for the words @melissakellie :D

I think you are so brave. It takes a lot of courage to get back on track and to move forward as a new human being. I´ll be waiting for to post your work. So good luck.

Thanx man. It’s taken a lot to try to leave the past behind. A lot of frustrating nights trying to figure out what to do with my life. My options are limited being a convicted felon, but I’ve placed a high value on my education

Education is the best weapon and everyone deserves a second chance, so DO NOT waste it. You can be an example to other people. You can help them to move on. You seem to be a brand new person, so show the world what you can do.

Hell yeah, thanx sabreau. I'm bout to finish up my associates in psychology and transfer to a 4 yr school. Maybe become a drug counsel, start a non-profit, write a book on addiction and social behaviors or something. We'll see how it goes.

That´s great. Good luck with that! We´ll keep in touch.

I've just uploaded part 3 of chapter 1 of My Brother's Keeper. Look for it by search and enjoy the read. There's more to come. A lot more.

I'm excited about Steem. I've been reading a lot about it and I'm very excited to say the least, to find out what all the site can do and what it will become in the near future.

You are warmly welcome to the world of genourisity... Glad you have chosen a niche, and you are bound to be a success, as we all are waiting for your next post

I never shot anyone, however, I haven't lived the life of a saint either.
I've done plenty of stuff in my past I regret, but the thing I did time for in prison isn't even in my top 10.

Look forward to reading your story. unvoted 100% and followed.

I feel you. I’m not trying to glamorize or brag about anything violent. I regret the choices I’ve made but those choices are part of testimony, to over come and defeat the odds

Thanks man! Hope to hear from you again.

I have followed you, follow me back to be getting up votes from me on your future posts. https://steemit.com/@nwanne
