Greetings, Steemland!

I'm trying something new. Something I've wanted to do for quite a while.

Be video famous. 😎

Here's the embedded Youtube video of the description above (so ya don't have to leave Steemit if ya don't wanna). Er... edit: You can't actually view it on Dtube because it never made it. I'm still waiting though...

"What's this all about, Carrie?"

I have a tendency to be very verbose and when writing blogs this means I spend HOURS ... and hours... and then MORE hours making them perfect. I actually LIKE doing that, but sadly, just like before Steemit- I can't always do what I want. It simply would make me starve to death. 😅

Edit to add: Still waiting for Dtube to upload. At just over 3 hours now and just over half way... I think....
Edit to add again: Below is a screenshot. I'm currently 997 in the queue (and have been there for over 30 minutes). I'm pretty sure it's stopped at this point, but I'm gonna keep waiting. I mean, it's been over 4 hours. Why stop? I've decided to post this from Steemit.com and still tag Dtube. I'm trying, yo. I'm trying.😕

It seems of my almost 1000 followers about 20 or so see my posts.

Side note: I LOVE you guys. Thanks for always being there. Your awesomeness knows no bounds. 😍
I'm assuming this is because MANY people who join eventually leave and I'm left with dead followers. No biggie. It just means I need like 15,000 before I could possibly expect to be viewed more than a 100 or so times per post. Whilst I inch up to that mark, I should probably create some more palatable content for the masses. Something easy to get through. And who knows - maybe this is it! 😁

I totally understand not having time to read huge posts, I get it.

I simply get stuck in the worry that my post won't be quality enough and then I keep going... and going ... and going.... Even when seeing memes get $100s of dollars, I still couldn't do it (post an image with little to no words). My ethics are just different. And to be clear: I don't wish my ethics or morals on you. Do what you want. I will too. 😎 I mean, we can even be friends if we disagree. (I know! I'm totally nuts😏).

I also see that people (who come from places like Facebook and Instagram) LOVE memes. I do too. I may have been trained too... I'd even upvote/like them now and then on the old social media. Somehow, though, FOR ME, Steemit is different... or is supposed to be... or is it? Hard to say....🤔

As for now though- I continue my journey to find my niche.

I continue to see where I might be needed or wanted. I continue to search for the tiny Carrie-shaped hole for me to fit perfectly into. I'll find it. Fingers crossed this is it.

I promise (to me) that I will TRY this for AT LEAST 3 weeks, consistently. If it's a total fail, I'll try something else. You won't get rid of me that easily. 😉
