What a kind and thoughtful gesture @malloryblythe! There is a reason I liked you from first meeting you on your introduceyourself post. Well, aside from the fact that you are an exceptionally talented writer. :)
I haven't been on and around as much, but I'm happy to see that curie is still showing their support to you! We need to continue supporting Steemians that started late 2017 and 2018 because many individuals that started earlier already have a support system in place. I always enjoy reading your blog when I have some free time.
I think it's amazing that you're sharing the earnings from your curied post with others on this platform. This is a perfect example of Paying It Forward!
To be honest I felt a little bad since I had been picked before and I almost wished it went to someone who was new and could also feel that joy of being appreciated! But it feels amazing to have the ability to do this. It brings me much more happiness than I would have gained by cashing it out or powering up. I would love if someone answered the second prompt (recommending someone for the curators to keep an eye on) and it actually did get them their first curie vote.
You do put in a lot of time with your writings so it was well-deserved! I have seem some receiving 2-3 curie support. It really is hard to find newbie authors for curie support because many are just starting out and their posts may not be exceptional but the potential is there. Hopefully you'll receive many entrants highlighting some undiscovered authors!
Ditto the amazing feeling of doing something good for others. Cool picture, btw! You're so petite next to the Viking and ferocious polar bear. :)
Haha! I’m averagely small (5’2 and built thin) but those statues were HUGE. They make me look like a child. I think it just adds to the hilarity.
It’s a great memory shot. 🙂
