I'm sure you'll get better at writing them. Try not to focus on the negatives. I've always mostly ignored those contests for that type of writing because it didn't really feel that great often, and I focused on just trying to make content myself...but your post kinda made me feel like I should try a certain amount to do those posts, because they help you earn crypto! Crypto is more than just cash. It can be an investment. It's a dangerous investment at times, but one that pays off really well.

Hope you got something that you enjoyed with it. I personally enjoy Steem. :)
