Hi @clint01! I'm interested in improving my writing skills with Steemit too. It hasn't been intuitive for me, but I'm kindof excited by the challenge. You might be interested in requesting reviews of your posts as is suggested in this article. I'm planning on trying it myself and hopefully there will be a real community giving each other good feedback. In any case, well met! Welcome to Steemit.

Oh yes, and if you add verification to this post in the next ten hours or so, you'll be contacted by Project Newbie and get a little more exposure. You can just take a selfie with the date and word "Steemit" written on apiece of paper, or there are others ways I know less about. Steem on!
