RE: The Ink Well is Looking for Curators to Join the Editorial Team

in #theinkwell5 years ago

Hello @shanibeer,
I have known @raj808 for several years (on the blockchain) and was excited by his plans to create a writing community in which members might actually earn money. I hope Raj is doing well.

You are looking for curators and one of the reasons I stay on the platform is so that I might help people who need support of one kind or another. I'm not sure I'm qualified, but here goes.

In the past I've been in physical writing groups with some great leaders (Maxwell Wheat and Barbara Rogan). These were astute readers who guided the group gently and productively. Technically, I'm an English teacher (certified) but I've never taught English and still have to look up grammar points from time to time. I have the obligatory degree in humanities and literature, which I guess helps to refine my writing analysis.

My time on Hive is divided. I love science, art and history as much as I love writing so perhaps I could devote one day a week to curating for theinkwell--if you think the relationship might work out.

I hope this 'resume' isn't out of place. Just want to let you know that if there is some way I can help, here I am.
Good luck with all your plans. They sound wonderfully practical.

Hi @agmoore, I'm ok and tentatively posting again on hive 🙂 Long time no chat. I shall try and stop by your blog to see what you've been up to and read some of your work at some point in the next few days.

I can attest to @agmoore credentials in regards to creative writing @shanibeer. She is a great fiction writer herself and has always provided astute critical feedback on my posts in the past. back when I was a general curie curator in 2018 she was one of the authors I checked regularly as a potential for curation which speaks to her creative work on here. Also she has been around since the Halcion days for creative writing on what was then steem. Anyway, I'll stop with the embarrassing big ups now 😂

Hello Raj!
So many thoughts I've had for you in the past months. I am so glad to hear from you, and that you are 'OK'. Didn't realize you were posting again. I will have to check the blog regularly to catch you.

Thanks for the heads up to @shanibar. This community means a lot to me, not just because it hosts writing, but because it was your concept and you brought it to fruition. It seems to have good stewardship now.

I'm not embarrassed at all. What a pleasure to hear kind words from a friend.

I hope your creative energy is a source of satisfaction. Please be well.

Hello @agmoore, so good to hear from you!
Are you on discord? If so, could you send me a friend request?
Many thanks.

I will head over to Discord now. I sometimes get lost there but have copied @shanibeer#7523 and will see if I can send out that friend request (my greatest deficit on the platform is negotiating its technical aspects).

Thank you
