ReintroduceYourself - a second try, using what I've learned in the last two weeks

<p><img src="https://bradvanceerotica.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/tryagain.jpg" /></p>
<p>I’m Brad Vance, author/editor/audiobook narrator. I intro'd myself two weeks ago, and did it all wrong.</p>
<h2>That's kind of the irony: When you're new, you're probably doing it wrong.</h2>
<p>Unless you sit and wait to see how other people are doing it, which I didn't. I jumped in with a long, pretty much text-only post that read more like a CV I guess than a Steemit intro.</p>
<p>So here's some of what I've learned.</p>
<h2>People see bricks of text and they keep moving.</h2>
<p><img src="https://bradvanceerotica.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/boring-book.jpg" /></p>
<p><a href="https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@bradvanceauthor/i-m-brad-vance-gay-romance-author-blockchain-enthusiast-and-i-m-stoked-about-steemit-and-its-potential-for-creatives">You can see from the original post</a> that I totally did that. I'm used to blogging and I'm very verbal, so it never occurred to me that I'd need so many pictures. </p>
<h2>I totally started with the &quot;gay novel&quot; stuff, which maybe wasn't the best starter. </h2>
<p>Not that there's homophobia here, more like... homoapathy. I tried to get around that by talking about my latest  novel, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BMJ64U2" rel="noopener"><em>Strength in Numbers</em></a>, which is about a quest for the Satoshi Hoard, with, admittedly, lots of breaks for hot gay sex. Again, a photo would have been smart.</p>
<p><img src="https://bradvanceerotica.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/wouldilie2-novelcover.jpg" /></p>
<h2>In fact, I should have totally started with Adam Vance, my &quot;Progressive Military Science Fiction&quot; avatar.</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Scarcity-Special-Forces-One-Book-ebook/dp/B00RWQ0TP6?ie=UTF8&amp;*Version*=1&amp;*entries*=0" rel="noopener">As Adam Vance, I’m writing “progressive military science fiction,”</a> breaking the conventional space opera/war porn/bug hunt bonds of the genre, and working with ideas about colonialism, counterinsurgency, artificial intelligence, imperial sclerosis, and more…all of course with lots of badass action scenes and space battles. </p>
<h2>Adam Vance is a fucking badass. </h2>
<p><img src="https://bradvanceerotica.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/adam_vance_scarcity25percent.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Really, I should have led off with my interest in...</h2>
<p>&quot;...cryptocurrency and blockchains, and the potential of smart contracts.&quot; </p>
<p>So, let's try again...</p>
