There are still a couple of days to go before this weeks ends. It would be a shame if it manages to go the whole week without an entry though! Not really sure why I can't seem to get as much attention on this as I would like... Probably because I am not pushing it as much in other communities as I could be and was posting much less frequently for a while there. I have been regularly surprised that I can't seem to get more than $10 as the author payout for my sections- not really sure if I've been sidelined or what but it doesn't really matter- I write for myself and to create interesting stories and unique uses of this awesome blockchain we are on.

You write so well Dabs, have you considered writing a bit in the Inkwell (perhaps to the Inkwell prompt that comes out each Monday evening) and engaging in that community. Or doing the Word of the Week prompt run by @calumam and @scholaris? You can't post these serialised PIZZA story episodes in the Inkwell, only complete short stories, but I reckon you would do really well with normal short story fiction and the followers you pick up would then read this content too! You could pick up some genuine short story and fiction writing followers who would love your work. Some of the upvotes in the community result in long curation trails too of authors supporting authors on good content. @wrestlingdesires curates for the Inkwell. I sure he will attest to what a fantastic community it is. We both actually write in the Inkwell and do WOTW... As for WOTW, it is a strong close-knit community of writers who are scored each week on their submissions and part of that score relates to engagement too with the other writers in the contest, so there is incentive for the writers to read each others works. Another thing you could do is to join the Dreemport community :-) I'll drop my Community Celebration post below... it is also a very supportive community and by sharing your posts in Dreemport daily, you can get more eyes on your content and earn Dreem tokens in addition to your normal layer 1 and 2 tokens. You can also take part in @shadowspub's Pimp Your Post Thursdays held in the Dreemport Discord to get more eyes on your content ...another great community of people who meet up each week to hear about and support each other's content. Also if you want some upvotes from some of the bigger holders of creative coin, make sure you use the fiction tag in conjunction with creativecoin as some of them require both to be present before they will curate. Let me know what you think of all this and the below if you decide to take a look. Happy to help you onto Dreemport. 🙏💗 In fact I have my own monthly contest and just dropped the post today which is all about supporting Dreemport next week so take a look at that too if you'd like to kickstart into Dreemport action :-) (as an aside I have been very fortunate to have picked up Marky's vote and I am very grateful for it and do my best to give it respect - next time I see him looking for good content creators to follow, which he does periodically, I'd be happy to drop your name on his post).
You should have a look at these:
WOTW contest
Inkwell prompt
Dreemport
Contest post
I second everything you just said ❤️ Hopefully we can get his new community off to a great start 🙌

Yeah... I'm not really inspired by WOTW- I looked at it when I was posting in POB all the time. I looked at the Inkwell as well and felt that it is pretty constrained. I don't really want to write to a script and would rather be able to be as creative as I am feeling at the time. Tale of Two Pizza's wouldn't exist without that. Nor would the posts I have been posting in Scholar and Scribe. Imagine if I had just written to prompts and contests this whole time! I'm in Dreemport discord as well and listened in to a pimp your post Thursday while I was at work- it isn't something I can realistically participate in and wouldn't want to shill my own content there anyway! I guess we will see what happens going forward- seems a shame to know that quality posts and novel ideas that bring something new to the chain simply isn't enough- you have to jump through all the hoops as well!
I guess what I was trying to get at is that if you get involved in the communities and engage with them and become a part of them, the connections come naturally and as social capital grows, so does financial. I hope you find a way to get more eyes on your content, that works for you Dabs. These suggestions I made work nicely for me...
I fully understand what you are getting at and think I do engage with various parts of the hive community with the time I have available to spend- I can't do more than that! I do appreciate the suggestions... I think I've built some good connections with people- they might not have hefty votes though- and enjoy what I am writing and that is the main thing for me. I'll just continue doing what I've been doing!
💗🙌
My entry is coming, I'm sorry - still struggling for time 😪
