OCD DAILY - Issue #518

Welcome to the 518th issue of @OCD Daily!

Issue #518 highlights content from five (5) Steem Content Creators! The OCD team continues its search throughout Steem to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users.

Today our curators found five (5) new pieces of original content! We strive to find works that are created by newer Steem users, that may not have the audience with which to share their quality content. @OCD strives to help provide that audience and intends to showcase Steem users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content.

The @OCD nomination process

A curator will FIND a piece of work (typically from newer users). Within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the @OCD team, curator votes are tallied, and the pieces with the most votes are included in the compilation.

We encourage you to visit these blogs and show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.

If you enjoyed their work, give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello!

All of the content chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is universally appreciated and valued by our curators making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.

The Ink Well is a friendly community for all of the poets and story tellers on the steem blockchain.

The Ink Well community nomination of the day is from @jayna

This is a great response to The Ink Well’s fiction prompt and involved story by @jayna which exhibits amazing characterization. I could feel myself really disliking the daughter Katrina and her clucking habit. Throughout the story jayna expertly puts us in the mind of the characters giving the reader insights into their relationships.

(>) Was it true that this was how teenagers developed complexes − because their mothers tried to help them become better people?

The characters of mother and daughter are nuanced and create a feeling of warmth for me the reader. Jayna expresses that constant bickering and motherly concern that most familial relationships develop into, maybe a little annoying for each party, but a sign of love.
There is a great twist at the end of this story where jayna fulfills the brief of my prompt perfectly by showing an annoying habit saving the day.

A really Great short story that I implore people to have a look at and read in full, you won’t be disappointed.
