I feel for you, @nationall. However, you can start a project anytime you want. Steemit is a great place to start a "project' and provide value for others. Think about what problems people have are you solving.

Also, people will read topics that help them. They don't care as much about reputation as they do about getting their problems solve.d That is where we have to focus. Find that need and fill it. Just like they told us in Biz School.

If I can help further. please let me know. I encourage you to find an area where people need help, find solutions for them and then provide help. that is what has worked for centuries. Let us know how it goes for you when you implement those ideas.
