There is a certain amount of uncomfortable uncertainty with this approach where you are at the fate of the market.  But that is only part of the equation.  The other aspect of Steemit is very internal.  A lightning arc connection between the distant reader and the inner workings of a writer.  The only way to strike that connection is to experiment, have fun, and be committed to doing your best.  I've read many folks having a goal of writing once a day and this has helped sharpen their skills.  

Thanks for starting this discussion, @stellabelle.
