Actually, the biggest thing steem has done for me is helping me create a portfolio of short stories and poems for reference purposes. Most times when I write in the past, there was really nowhere to post them, and soon after I lost the idea, the story, the work, etcetera...

I remember when I went job seeking about a year plus ago, and I could point out that I had a sort of portfolio in a blog. It was a very good feeling indeed.

So yeah, while the votes could be helpful economically (shoutout to @steemcurator01), the biggest for me has been the fact that I have a warehouse for my creativity.

And whenever I write, trust me, it will get posted here.
