First of all, I wrote a post about discussing bullying recently.  Received maybe a buck or two of attention.  But I was very passionate about discussing how to deal with this Bernie Head up his Glass Avatar and his army of abuse.  It is abusive, plain and simple.  I have also been vocal of the need for a BLOCK button.  Some have shamed me for suggesting I would limit getting a financially rewarding upvote from a whale, but my feelings are that if that Whale is abusive, then one should be able to protect oneself from the manipulation.  Therefore anyone who 'flags' you, should be able to be blocked, so that one never has to be threatened again.  You Stella, do so much for this platform and crypto.  You have an untouchable passion that I respect.  I've encounter other characters in the crypto world that have given false info and I continue to share the double edged sword with non-crypto world.  But with everyone I invite to steemit, I tell them about you.  You, Papa P, MeesterBoom, were reasons I kept coming back.  I liked your funny videos.  I liked your informative posts.  I appreciate your passions.

I too have many passions.  It would be nice to devote more time to something as powerful as Steemgigs.  I met SurpassingGoogle early on and appreciated that he would message me on discord for feedback on his posts.  I just told him to keep going til he found his voice.  I'm glad he is doing well and giving back to others.

The fiverr?  Ugh.  I too have had bad encounters with them.  I wrote screenplays for people that never paid.  I can write anything into a screenplay format.  I have done plenty of ghost writing for things that have never paid, but because the project was fun.  One of my recent posts was a standard pitch bible for a tv show inspired by some conversations in steemspeak with Nate.  It did not receive much support even from the characters who inspired it.  But!  I was thrilled that my friends in LA, who are working in television, took the time to read it and give me feedback.  And likewise they continue to ask me about steemit and cryptocurrencies.  My recent post talks about one of my friends on tv, Brad Morris.  He continues to email questions about steemit, not so much about how to get involved himself, but as a friend, he wants to know how I am doing, how steemit is treating me, and what kind of characters I run into.  I will put together another post about the rest of my Reckoning Family.  Another friend, POB just had his show picked up by NBC, and he gave an interesting note about the pilot in that the world could use more topics besides the ones on tv and he looks forward to hearing more.  I hope to continue to evolve something for mainstream discussion when I am back in LA in the fall.

And while I  would love to devote more time to posts that actually pay on steemit, I am finding more confidence in simply sharing more of my sense of humor and the talents i've honed over 17 years in the improv community.  I am pushing myself not to just curate for steemtrail, not to just format some "how to" and "who to follow" posts for the few friends that cross over.  I'm trying to push myself, rewards or not, to just write human  stories that I can take back to LA.  It's a lonely process to begin with, and it just feels even lonier here on steemit because most things here are focussed on making money and new technologies. Please don't get me wrong, it's my opinion you are one of those that add a human touch to your talents and passions.  You are a special character that I hope is living a full life.

I've wrote enough for a post in itself.  Maybe sat here a good 30-40 minutes sending comments to other people's posts.  Just another reminder to get back to the stories.  I hope we can eventually block abusive accounts.  To be honest, I tell my friends everything, and the scared whales with ego thin shells and abusive powers are definitely a deterrent.  It is a safety and privacy issue that Steemit needs address.  Because this post here, your post today, is worthy of it's full rewards.

Come to think of it.  I'm going to put my two recent comments to you into a post.  Just to see what happens.  Just to let the steemit world know, the few that still dont' know you yet, that you are someone worth following and listening to often.  Be well.
