The Inbox Runneth Over -- Issue #44 -- 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 30 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 23 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 155 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!

  • @paddlingnature is a blog that started out to be a celebration of kayaking around in the wilderness by one woman with a sense of adventure and a love of nature, but it turns out she's discovered she really likes curating a lot. So while it lasts, you will make some wonderful discoveries of other blogs and interesting Steemians to follow ... just by reading her posts. Stop in and sample some treasures -- and encourage her to keep going!

  • 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

Thanks again for including me, you are the best!

Thanks for the mention! I think you might be wondering more about when I will stop writing about it though ;)

Actually, it's become one of those things like rubbernecking at a car accident -- or watching an exhausting movie to make sure it comes to an end. (I'm so glad you got home again!!!)

I thought about doing a introductory comment about "@eonwarped continues his narrative about the worst vacation spot in the world."

  1. The place is f**king expensive.
  2. It's called Iceland for a reason.
  3. If you've seen one waterfall ... you've seen them all. (But you still have to drive to each one to make sure. In fact, you have to drive everywhere only to see the same kind of stuff from a different perspective -- and then hustle back to your car so you don't freeze and stick to the ground.)
  4. The car is so cramped with luggage there's barely enough room for the people. (I'd have volunteered to stay behind at the airport. "Don't worry about me. You guys go and have a good time!!")
  5. Your driving skills are revealed to be so alarming[, someone else takes over the driving. (It's a good thing you guys all get along.)
  6. The best part of the trip is the food -- which is not saying much. (And you can get food closer to home. In fact, in NY, you can get lots of wonderful food, still sleep in your own bed at night and never have to look ever again at another damn waterfall!!)

(But everyone everywhere is touchy today, so I figured that might upset you.)

I'd have stayed home with Opal, curled up on the couch, shared potstickers, watched Netflix movies, and gained so much weight you wouldn't have recognized either one of us.

The next time you choose a vacation, Google it better than this one. Either way, I'll be here safe behind my computer ... but going along for the ride.

Hahahaha that is a good summary! What a good start to the Sunday
