I get such joy from writing that I don't really care that the majority completely ignores them, and satisfied that I'm accomplishing something good for myself.
That's a superb mindset and approach. But, I guess you'd rather see people interact and reward the stuff you share, rather than to ignore them? ;)
Oh sure, that is the real point of why I write, deep down. My expectations are low for receiving real appreciation on steemit though, because outside of the curation groups and boosters, it's pretty obvious there isn't much of that here, even though there's a fair amount of good content produced.
I think there are a few who read my posts semi-regularly. Not sure of that though. I do manage to get some humor in the posts from time to time, that should make them more pleasant to read, and maybe spark an interest in reading the next day's, and the next, etc. That would be cool, but the chance of that happening's very slim, IMO.
I've written 1,516 poems for the Spigot posts here since I joined last year, and I've enjoyed every minute spent writing them. I think it's my real and constant inspiration or something, but whatever it is, I'm grateful I have it. :)
