Thanks @warpedpoetic this post was inspired by the back and forth in the comments of the last post about this and so I wanted to elaborate further :-)

I felt like I want to extend the life of how long the project got exposure across the platform. Ha ha, I think I read somewhere once that a post only gets 20 minutes (prime time) chance of being seen (by those outside your followers) from when it's published. Maybe that was in the crazy late 2017 market boom though.

I barely submit my writing to literary journals as I used to do before. Having a positive relationship with publishing houses as well as literary journals will go a long way to certify the content posted here on steemit as well as open the doors for authorship and even nominations for prizes.

Absolutely what I want to address. It is like a time sink sometimes on here. Discord, networking, projects.... all conspire to mean you don't have the time for submitting to multiple places. I want to make it all easier. I haven't submitted anything to literary journals at all this year apart from one submission to the Rattle poetry prize.... because it's got to be worth a punt. Didn't win the $10000 though ;-)

Thanks for reading :-)
