Hey @Byn! Sorry to hear that you've had your own issues to deal with lately. I hope that resolves itself soon. And thank you for your kind words about my writing. I hear what you mean about where to focus

Nawww still been learning and growing. Writing every day and taking courses. You know me ;)

Thank you, @Jaynie! I'm making some new promises to myself to get back in the saddle again. :)

Hey @Raymondspeaks! Seems like you and I have been in a similar spot. I've managed to keep my content creation going off of Steemit, but I've been in a slump. Here for you as always, man. Very glad to

Thanks, @Jusipassetti! Things will turn out okay. And yes. I am proud that I was able to remain productive and not quit because things got tough. I am looking to use art as an outlet for these things,

Aw thanks, @wilhb81! I appreciate you doing that. Things will be better soon enough.

Hey, @TraciYork! I'll keep the "like button" and "Steempress" in mind. That seems like a great solution!

Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. I have time and I am in no rush to land anything, so slow and steady will win the race. :)

Dark piece! You got a lot out of that prompt. I haven't read all of your writing, but I haven't seen something as dark as that yet. I like it!

Nice. You've got some great skills. I'll have to go check out version 1 to compare them, but I like this one a lot already.

@kneelyrac said what I was going to say: looks like cotton candy! Nice photos! :)

I have a real life friend on Steemit too! @Doubledipshit and I hang out all the time. He's a good dude. Having some IRL friends on Steemit makes the process more fun. I am glad you've got someone to talk

Great idea, @Jaynie! You are so good at dreaming up these community-based posts. It's very impressive. And I couldn't agree more about gratitude being important. As soon as I have my knickers in a knot...

I'm always interested in how employers make their hiring decisions. Most take a "textbook" approach and then wonder why they end up with average candidates. I'd be interested in hearing more

I am glad that you are taking the time to think of the little things. My partner and I were just talking about this last night. When you can't appreciate the little things, what can you enjoy?

Wow @Zord189. You killed this one. That is super sharp. I really like it!

Beautiful! I started sketching recently (just for fun) with pencil. I didn't even know you could do it with markers effectively. Shows how much I know!

Thanks for writing this @abmakko. I like hearing about what the creative process looks like for others. It's different for everyone, but it's never "easy". We all have our own personal challenges

This sounds like Stoicism. Are you familiar with that philosophy? It deals with how one approaches adversity.

That looks like gator country! Nice snap. Looks like you were deep in the wilderness. Were you standing on a nice walking bridge though? :P
