Welcome to the Hive community @annasworddancer!
Just another simple suggestion: try to engage with your readers to help build up your account and following, and the same thing for others, engage on their posts as well and it won't take too long, you'll gain followers as you will follow others that have good content.
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.
Seven suggestions to consider:
Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
Use your active key only for wallet transactions, Keychain, Peaklock, and Hivesigner,
The master password and the owner key are only used to reset compromised passwords,
DO NOT lose your password or keys; copy and store offline,
Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
DO NOT OPEN any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.
I found you because @brittandjosie and @jamerussell from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.
