The Inbox Runneth Over -- Issue #22 -- Where hidden treasures come to light

The Inbox Runneth Over

is a private curation project begun by an unnamed Steemian to honor the exceptional posts she finds in her Steemit travels. The content here will feature a good number of posts from The Steem Engine group in Discord. Their customary post is titled The Daily Whistle Stops.

The unnamed Steemian is the curator there, and in that work she finds quite a few posts that are casual, interesting, well-written, helpful or just fun to experience (sometimes writers, sometimes musicians, sometimes artists), but because they are up against such stiff competition that day in submissions to The Steem Engine they can't be included in The Daily Whistle Stops. They also tend to be short, easy to read, easy to digest ... or maybe they just offer something special.

So, she brings them here and finds them a home -- because they deserve more than just a quiet decline and death ... an experience that is already all too common in Steemit. (I know I don't need to tell you that, but it's true!) Sometimes, there may be outside content, too ... from other intriguing people she follows. Sweet little "feature story" experiences and fun artistic moments of all kinds have their place in life -- and on Steemit, too. Please stop in and visit these guys ... and if you enjoy their work, show them you care.

I ... and they ... thank you more than you'll ever know.

You can find The Daily Whistle Stops at @thesteemengine -- and there is information there and here at the bottom of this post telling you how to apply to join. There is also another curation project run by both the unnamed Steemian and @catweasel on his blog. It's called The Magnificent Seven and it, too, features exceptional content we find on our Steemit journey. Each of these projects has its own theme, tone and focus. You will find things in both that are worth your time and effort -- and excellent new people to follow. I offer all these suggestions with pride. I know they will enrich your day.

If you're looking for other quality posts to read,
these are links to other worthwhile curation projects.

  • @catweasel does a project very similar to this one called The Magnificent Seven. It is published every couple of days or so on his blog. There are about 25 of them so far.

  • @ethandsmith is doing podcasts about other pieces he enjoyed from The Steem Engine's membership. Look for ones like this ---> The STEEM Engine Express Episode 17 There are (obviously) others available.

  • The Daily Whistle Stops -- found at the @thesteemengine account publishes one of the best general audience curation collections on Steemit if I do say so myself. Go ahead, ask me about it. I'll be happy to say it again. There are about 105 posts to enjoy at the moment. The group itself is astonishingly new for the amount of raw talent assembled there. If you create exceptionally fine content and especially if you consider it undervalued, check this out. It could change your whole Steemit adventure!

  • @goldendawne is the head writer for The Daily Qurator. Again, if you're a producer of quality content on Steemit, you might want to join @qurator ... if you haven't already. They make it worth your while and they're a lot easier than I am to get along with.

  • @fiberartists has recently come home again to Steemit and is making a comfy nest for herself in several locations. One is *Fiber Ramble -- a weekly curation project devoted to one of her personal passions needlework and fiber-arts-and-crafts. Stop in and see what she's discovered this week ... and maybe contribute some art of your own! (@fiberartists is actually @artemisnorth -- @shadowspub's sister. If you still don't get the connection yet -- read on.)

  • Finally, @shadowspub does the redoubtable grandmother of all curation efforts on Steemit, The Steemit Ramble. You can find plenty of issues from it on her blog. She also hosts a Thursday discord feature (twice every Thursday, so you have a chance to catch at least one) Pimp Your Post Thursday. You can find out more about it also on her blog

Even though it "runneth over", there is never a wasted drop. Nice selections you have chosen here today. Congratulations to all who are featured here.

Well, it's been a while since there was enough spillage to really make a good post. Now that Steem is rising again, the Inbox is seeing a little more traffic. Let's hope this is the start of a nice trend. Thanks you so much for all the good content you create -- and your other tokens of appreciation, too. They all get noticed!!

There's some great posts here...as always. And thanks for the shout out!

You've begun doing some very nice work. (Must run in the family.) We're glad you decided to come home to Steemit.

Thanks!! I really appreciate that. I love it here....and it let's me hang with my sis more. She's pretty amazing

You certainly show a lot of varied interests in your content. And we are always looking for quality!! You've got plenty of that, too. Life has lots of treasures to share.

yes, and i've gotten different opinions on that matter, whether or not i should have a niche or not. well, this might be a part of that and eventually write a book after putting all of this together somehow. i just got a message the other day about all this ... very interesting!
