Thank you for the reply and upvote!
Over the years I've written things for the local press and this and that, and like you had no notice here with the older material. Also, like you I started creating and have been doing pretty well with it. It is surprising what you can come up with in a moment of creativity. I did use some resteem services, but not the upvote bots. I said in an earlier post to another steemian that using upvote bots made me feel a little like getting caught picking my nose in public. Thanks again, sir!
