The Daily Sneak 1 October 2018 - with guest curator @anouk.nox
Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!
We reward quality content, AND content curators! Come for the crypto, stay for the community!
You can earn up to 5 SBD per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.
Today's guest curator is @anouk.nox.
Although Anouk finds herself a writer at first, curating is getting a bigger part of her Steemit activities every day. She also loves making artworks and can enjoy listening to music a lot. Being active in several communities means she comes across a lot of different posts, and she tries to get many undervalued authors rewarded by giving them extra exposure.
The Sneaked Selections
My Lullaby Concert (or how it saved me from going nuts during the last months)
This is a quite interesting story! I love how determined @empathetic was to make it as a music teacher, and now she had hew own lullaby concert! I totally agree with this: "Everyone tells you how much you’ll suffer when doing art (music) for a living. But no one tells you how much you’ll suffer without music in your life."
I don't know about the music teacher part, but I agree 200% on the suffering without music. Thank you for sharing this post with us!

Get to Know Me a Little Better + My Thoughts on the Current Steemit Ecosystem
Although @bengiles isn't exactly new on the platform, he wrote a post in #introduceyourself. I decided to look at that section at least once every time I submit a Daily Sneak entry. This one caught my eye. Very well written and actually a post that will allow you to get to know the author a bit better. I think he deserves to get mentioned; and gain some new followers too. Thank you for giving us this nice look into your life in NZ!

Happy New Month + Few Thoughts On Time Passing By Too Quickly And More
@audreybits is looking back on the past year. Things went by so quickly, and have been changing constantly. The post comes with valuable advice that many of us should be aware of sometimes. Try not to rush through life, you'll get to your goals at your own pace. As long as you're moving forward, you'll get there. Personally, I'll try to remember this more often. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

"New Painting w/ progress images ""Defenders of Innocence"" (Nature's fighting back ;-)”
It took @denniskonstantin four years to finish this painting, and it probably wouldn't be finished if it weren't for a contest entry. I'm glad he finished it! This is a very cool and special piece of art. I love the coloring used, it blends together so well. Love it, thank you for sharing!

i-Talent Round 11 : Fallen Angel - The Rejected One (a Ballpoint pen drawing)
The artwork speaks for itself here. Amazing how @maxijgcomm creates such a neat drawing with the use of ballpoints. I can see the fallen angel theme for sure, and I think he has created something very nice. Well done, and good luck in the contest!

Conclusion
Amazing commentary and selections from @anouk.nox. I always appreciate the personal notes to the author at the end of each segment of commentary. For submitting these excellent articles and commentary, @anouk.nox earns 5 SBD.
Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @thedailysneak. In addition, @thedailysneak sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!
Submission Requirements
On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:
- You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
- All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
- You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
- Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
- We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
- Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
- Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
- Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.
If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.
Submission Reward
A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!
Right now @thedailysneak's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!
