Thanks so much for replying. I appreciate the advice.

You're right, finding the time to dedicate to steem is really where the challenge is. That's why I'm focusing on the freewrites at the moment. It's easier to find a few minutes of my day to complete the freewrite, than writing longer articles. At least this way I have no excuse to not post. I'll also try to be more active commenting on other's blogs.

I agree with you, the key is really to find a balance between the posting and commenting. I didn't realize this before, but now I get how they build on each other. When I was here the first time, I wrote 1 blog post and 86 comments. It wasn't a good ratio because the people I interact with had nothing to read on my blog. I'm trying to balance them this time around.

Thanks again.
