Not all your posts need to be a masterpiece. Especially as a 'newb'. Use this time to develop your voice. Just put stuff out there and in the future you can look back and have a great chronology of your development. I too put lots of work into each post and am disappointed when they get just a couple of views and votes, but I hope that in years to come my body of work will get me noticed. I also agree with @sykochica 's points.
