Hi Jase and welcome to hive :-) great to have you here with your knowledge and looking foreward to your posting ideas 

Nice! Jumped off the wheel a while ago myself. I'll be following!

Hello @jasedmf! This is @indayclara from @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) team. We saw that you already posted your first blog here in Hive! **Congratulations and welcome to Hive**!

Letting go of the corporate job was also a turning point in my life! Then I started Hive and it has been an amazing journey for me! I think you will also thrive in the Web3 Blockchain. By the way, can you let us know how you discovered Hive or who invited you here?

We have amazing [Communities](https://peakd.com/communities) to explore or you can check out the [Communities Incubation Program](https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@ocd/ocd-communities-incubation-program-update-72).If you are looking for tips and information as a Hive newbie, click [here](https://peakd.com/@newbies-guide). You can also check this guide: [How To Get A Great Start on the Hive Blockchain](https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@castleberry/how-to-get-a-great-start-on-the-hive-blockchainhttps://peakd.com/hive-174578/@castleberry/how-to-get-a-great-start-on-the-hive-blockchain).

Also, letting you know since content on the Hive platform is monetized, using other people’s ideas or images could be considered as an offense and which is also viewed in a serious light on the blockchain.  Here is a [useful collection of resources]( https://peakd.com/ccc/newbies-guide/abuse-and-plagiarism) about how plagiarism and abuse is viewed and handled on Hive.

If you have questions, you can hop into [Discord](https://discordapp.com/invite/YGVAvvm) server and we'll gladly answer your questions.

Welcome to Hive!  You are already doing a good job finding your way around. There is a lot going on here and plenty to keep you busy! Wishing you a successful journey!

Welcome Jase.

Have some !CTP

Hey Jase! I found you on The Ink Well Discord 😎

Welcome to Hive. Sounds like you are arriving with a clear focus on what you want to do 🤗 

I enjoyed your intro post - I love that you are taking a leap of faith, seeking to escape the rat race and to pursue your passions.  

I love to write short stories, poetry, general blogs, and discursive essays. I write in the Ink Well, Freewriters, Scholar and Scribe, and Blockchainpoets if I am doing short story fiction or poetry. Otherwise, you will find me in Thoughtfuldailypost, Iamalivetribe, Ladies of Hive, Vyb, Wednesdaywalk, and ecoTrain communities to name a few. 

I hope to see your pieces in the Ink Well soon. The admins there are a lovely bunch of people but please make sure that you read the guidelines for posting very carefully to avoid your post being muted. In fact, this goes for all communities...always read their guidelines before you post in them. Some have requirements such as commenting on at least 2 other posts in the community each time you want to post there, or restrictions on the types of content that can be shared...such as PG13 limits. If you don't adhere your post will get muted.

If you enjoy 5 minute freewrite prompts and using the Most Dangerous App then I can highly recommend @mariannewest 's daily prompts. The Freewriters community has a Monday and Friday #zapfic microfiction challenge and the Ink Well has a weekly prompt challenge. There is a Word of the Week challenge run by @scholaris (it used to run weekly but now actually runs every 3 weeks approximately although the name has not changed). 

As for philosophical content, the Thoughtful Daily Post Community is a great community to post in and @wesphilbin is the admin there and all-round awesome guy.

If you are looking to get more eyes on your content then signing up to Dreemport and sharing your post URL links from any blogging platform or private blogging space will help you to gain more exposure, earn layer 2 Dreem tokens for curating 5 random articles assigned to you, for each one that you wish to share so that other public curators may curate yours in return. (max one share per day). I will drop a couple of article links for you to explain what Dreemport is all about and how to use it for your benefit.

Finally, you should find yourself able to post again ;-)

Feel free to give me a shout if you need any help.
