Best of Steemit Every Day

Every day, I bring you eight posts you should think hard about upvoting and supporting. These are quality posts, well written and good examples of the best the community has to offer. Please consider checking them out, and if you agree, love them up.

Today some love went to a couple of whales, because quality is quality, and some of the whales got where they are by writing about things other than STEEM. Though not as many as I’d like. We have new writers to welcome, as well, so on with the show.

Today's Best

Writing (Fiction): Once Upon a Time (A Fable) by @giantbear. I love good fairy-tale fiction. Once upon a while back, I even wrote a book of them. This is a good story, and worth the read. Remember, supporting fictionists is our duty. There aren’t a lot of us around.

Writing (Nonfiction): What Goes Around Comes Around by @tj4real. An excellent example of magazine-quality writing. Take a minute and enjoy. Plus, it’s a great story.

Writing (Craft): Medicating Writer’s Block Through Steemit by @kendewitt. Interesting take on defeating writer’s block by writing Steemit posts. Seriously, who else is going to pay you to vanquish your demons? Very good comment about...comments, as well.

Steemit community: Is Steemit Addictive? by @condra. This is the funniest thing you’ll read on Steemit today. I promise you. Such good writing.

Introduceyourself: Just Another Writer Wandering Around by @modernjomarch. If you don’t know who Jo March is, Google is your friend. Or you could just follow our newest scribe on the platform. Or, you know, both. Yeah. Both is good.

Steem: My Steemit Weekly Financial Report by @aaronmda. Clever idea. If you want to see how Steemit can work for a n00b minnow just like us, here’s a very close look, behind the scenes.

Photography: High Risk High Reward Photographing by @mauricemikkers. Not just another series of beautiful photographs, this one gets up close with the process of creation, the gear, and the risks. This post, people, took HOURS. Take few minutes, read and reward, won’t you?

Special Prize: History: Lifting the Siege of Mafekeng by @lesmor. I love history above most things, and African history is always appreciated, as I know so little about it. This is a good primer on an important event. Take a moment and enjoy.

As always, suggestions for posts to honor are gratefully accepted.

Rules of the Best Of:

I don't like grammar and spelling errors. I make them, but I hate them. Unless the post is supremely brilliant, even a couple of these--especially in the title--will mean it doesn't make this list. NOTE: if you're writing in your second language, significant slack will be given here. When I write in my second language, I'm lucky if I can be understood at all.

Minnows--I am a minnow, and I'm all in on support for the newbies. Doesn't mean I won't curate a whale post, but it's unlikely. If your rating is over 70, you don't need my help (for whatever it's worth).

I don't do porn, however artful.

Original content only.

I take requests. Gratefully. But not for your own work. Push someone else into the spotlight.
