RE: Major update to 100 Days of Poetry Challenge [Day 53]

in #contest7 years ago

Thank you for your input @sansoncarrasco. I've admired your contributions and was amazed at the work it must take to make English adaptions of your Spanish poetry daily. I understand what you're saying about not liking the prize shift. If I started a project like this again, I would not do so by myself. I'd have several people commit to helping me curate through the entire period. You know how it is, people get busy, sick, things come up, and they can't find the time to help any longer.

Because of the difficulty of the daily writing requirement, the unfortunate consequence is that on some days, the writing across the boards is lacking in quality and I have to assign a winner that has spelling issues, grammatical problems, etc. It's hard for me to do this with a good conscience because I don't want to just increase the quantity of poetry on Steemit, but help people become better poets.

I understand and honor you for taking the time while being employed. I think we could work something out where you only have to look at one poet in a week. It should take only a half hour to leave a well-thought-out response to one of their pieces. Does that seem feasible?

Thanks for analyzing carefully my long replay.

What you propose about one single analysis per week would make it easier to do. Just a bit. I'll try to do as everyone else but I'm glad there's some flexibility to compromise at the one-per week review.

The lack of incentives, not being able to produce my usual content, is something hard to overcome, though.

I'll play along to the extents of my capabilities.
