I did it!
I'm no longer a plankton, drifting in the ocean. No longer churn for the whales and other big fishies.
I'm a minnow now.
It took me a while. 328 days long.
It was longer than I expected. It was also harder than I thought it would be. I was disheartened a few times, especially as the price of STEEM of kept going down. Most times, it felt like I was being tested.
But thankfully, the Steem Blockchain is just filled with fun, encouraging, and helpful communities who try to make life a little easier for little fishies.
So, I played a lot of @steemmonsters, participated in the #freewrite by @mariannewest, tracked my progress with @paulag, and even earned a few bucks with the help of @musing, @steemhunt, and @steembasicincome.
And let's not forget the contests and giveaways, I joined a lot of them, and even won a few times. They helped me a lot and kept me going forward.
And before I knew it, I'm no longer a plankton. I'm now a minnow swimming in the ocean.
So thanks everyone! I'm off to the next milestone.
The Giveaway
On to the fun part of today's post...
Prizes
To celebrate becoming a minnow, I've decided to give 4 readers 1 share of Steem Basic Income (SBI) each. So, a total of 4 SBI shares will be given away. This way, more participants will get a prize.
How to join
To join, all you have to do is leave a comment below.
Your comment can be about anything or nothing, at all. You can just write your username and I'll accept that, too. In fact, you can even write no words and just post a pic of something. That will also work. As long as you leave a comment, you'll be qualified to win.
Only one entry per person.
Choosing the winners
The winners will be chosen when this post pays out after 7 days.
The first 2 winners will be randomly chosen from everyone who commented. I'll be using a random name picker for this.
But, to make things interesting, the last 2 winners will be chosen by me, in a completely biased manner. (Though I'll probably stick with the most interesting comment.)
Also, this is a 👊 No Upvote, No Follow, No Resteem kind of giveaway. So, while appreciated, you don't have to do any of those to win the prizes.
This is my entry for Day 486 of @mariannewest 5-Minute Freewrite. Today's prompt is Test, which you can view here.
It's been six months since my last freewrite. Who knew I could fit a #freewrite, a contest, and even an account update in one?
So that's it, folks. Thanks for stopping by!
