Thank you, for sharing your story with Curie, @markangeltrueman.

@Curie kept me on Steemit, and Steemit is changing my life, slowly; so I owe a great deal to Curie, too, and Carl Nash, in particular.

As an author of 7 books, with a wide social media following, I came somewhat spoiled to Steemit, with all sorts of expectations.

It was humbling to be ignored and have to prove myself in a new town, where I did not speak the language and no one knew my name. Thanks, to Carl's tough love and discernment, I got a Curie or two (maybe a few?) and they kept me in the game.

4-5 months into Steemit, I am writing more and differently than I was accustomed to -- partaking, for example, in d-pend's stamina-building 100 day poetry challenge, I who never wrote, daily, and especially poetry (unless the Muse was upon me).

It's good to find oneself out of their comfort-zone & collaborating with other creative spirits, including Carl, as well as most recently rok-sivante.

Here's our latest--my words, his beats:

Wishing you, Curie & US ALL continued success on this promising, generous platform, which has been a kind of rebirth for me. <3

Happy Spring!
