Hi, I just stumbled upon your post.
I've been pretty much doing what you mention all along just out of a gut-natural feeling. I've been posting wonderful stories, right now a serialized novel. People reading it leave encouraging remarks, so I know it's quality content. But, I've never gotten more than a few votes for each post. So, I'm with you all the way about organic curation.
Upvoted and re-steemed.
