You certainly did have a busy week, congratulations on Winning #Monomad and also getting an @curie - it's wonderful benefit for curatives that so many people work with @curie to find and suggest those excellent works on Steemit that deserve it.
Community is key, and @shadowspub through the SteemitRamble discord has one of the bigger opportunities to share your work and also enjoy others.
Steemit can easily feel like an uphill struggle, and often no matter how hard you work it seems nothing will get you noticed. In an fast paced environment like this your posts are quickly buried by other people, and each of us only have so much time to read posts. It can be easy for people to forget or loose accounts, the only real option we have is to try and be unforgettable - if you remain in front of people in comments, in discords and generally get involved people will gravitate to you naturally.
