Are You a Good Writer? Then I Want to Help You! Daily Bread Contest Backed by Whaleshares and Isle of Write Communities

I’m starting a new initiative to support aspiring writers and poets. The big dream behind it is to help talented authors focus on their writing by giving them enough for daily bread using the nascent DBREAD token. I will work to make this dream true and the first step to it is a series of contests starting with this one.

Here’s the deal: I want you to show me a good sample of your creative literary work and if it inspires me, I will back many of your next posts with my vote and summon whale votes on them to help you produce more good writing.

This contest became possible thanks to the generous support of two outstanding artist communities, Whaleshares and Isle of Write.

What you get if you win the contest:

  1. Whaleshares community will support your next 10 posts with whale votes (1 post a day).
  2. The Isle of Write community will post a feature dedicated exclusively to the winner and their blog content and also add the winner to its auto vote for the next 30 days.
  3. I will upvote your posts with a 100% vote during the next 30 days (1 post a day) and resteem to my 1100+ followers minimally one of them each week during this time.

There will be only one winner in this particular contest, but I’ll made a shortlist of applicants I find inspiring and every shortlist member will receive 100 DBREAD tokens (a BitShares account is required). Hold them as they may have value in the future.

To enter the contest, do the following:

  1. Post in the comments a link to a creative literary piece published on the blockchain (fiction or nonfiction, no longer than 2000 words) written by you. Focus on choosing a quality work which makes a good sample of your writing talent (ideally the post should be past payout). It would be great if you add a few words about yourself and your writing. Don’t forget to add your BitShares name for getting DBREAD tokens.
  2. Upvote and resteem this announcement post to make the contest interesting and worth entering.

Contest conditions

  • My choice is subjective.
  • Your authorship should be unquestionable. There will be a plagiarism check and cheaters will be banned from future contests (yes this is only beginning!).
  • I reserve the right to stop supporting your posts if you essentially reduce the quality of your posts after winning the contest.
  • Application deadline: a week from today. The winner will be announced in a separate post.

Enjoy the contest! I am eager to see your entries!

Hi @vitkolesnik, thank you for running this generous competition.

I have been writing on steemit for 9 months now and am a creative writing graduate from 2007. After having some of my poetry published in 2006/7, I spent a long period of creative block after university and steemit has been the inspiration for a reassurance in my writing. The creativity and support I have received on this platform has been amazing and without the help of the people over @isleofwrite I certainly would have struggled in the beginning with the editing process. I continue to write creative works of poetry, fiction and travel writing exclusively on steemit and hope to be here for a long time as the community is amazing here.

Here is my entry. It is chapter 4 in a 5 part short crime/suspense novella called 'dirty old town'. All previous chapters are linked in the post at the beginning. I am working on the final part as we speak, thanks :-)

P.s. my bitshares (open ledger) account name is the same as my steemit name: raj808

Wow, what a great initiative! I have just started writing fiction on Steemit by participating in some contests. I've discovered I have some talent for it. Here is a recent story I wrote. https://steemit.com/writing/@giddyupngo/my-contest-entry-finish-the-story-week-4-by-f3nix

Hello vikto my name is @Josediccus and I'm a poet, firstly it's so amazing that you're doing this certainly poetry and creative writers do not really have a front run when it comes to support on the blockchain that's why I think this gesture is really huge and the very best when it comes to promises abs support, I will however introduce myself, I'm @Josediccus and I'm majorly a poet I do not intend to blow my trumpet but I've at least won close to 20 poetry contest since my 8 months on being on the platform, I rose to my reputation by engaging a whole lot of users however my poetry is not being showcased and not getting support, that's why I think this will be a great opportunity for my works to be noticed without boring you I will provide you a few poems I've written

Thank you for this great opportunity.

My name is Gideon Nnakude using @inspiredgideon1 as my name on steemit which was gotten from a combination of my first name and what I intend doing on the steem platform and that is inspire people to greatness.

I am an inspirational writer, story writer and a poet but I major on inspirational writing and articles about life to inspire people to greatness.

Success is a deliberate effort and not gotten by chance

No one has ever become great without any sacrifice being made. I desire to be great and that is why I try to inspire others unto the path of greatness.

Great people help others become great

My old post

Here is a post I wrote about 15 days day ago.

MEET @CEEPEE A NIGERIAN FEMALE PILOT : BRAIN AND BEAUTY

The post is about a Nigeria single lady who is a pilot and also a cryptocurrency expert who deals in the exchange of cryptocurrencies to our local currency.
She is actively on the steem platform with the name @ceepee.

I used her to challenge and as well as to motivate ladies out there who feel that their survival in life depends on what a man gives them or that the only assets of a lady is her body structure but her brain out put.

I also advised the ladies to go for brain enlargement and not body enlargement.

My bitshares account name is inspiredgideon1

Greetings @vitkolesnik,

thank you for organizing this.

I am a German editor and author and write in my mother language and in English. I write non-fiction and fiction, about lost and torn places I visited, about technology (especially AI and transhumanism), psychology, society, mythology and aspects on the fringe of human society.

A bit more about me can be read in my introduceyourself and in this posting that deals with the reasoning behind my Steemit name. Short version: I am an Existentialist who loves live, in spite (or maybe even because) of its absurdities.


But the literary piece (non-fiction) I want to show you is this one:

The Galactic Food Chain – Cosmic Cannibalism


If it does not check out, because it is too recent and not beyond its payout, this is my 2nd submission choice (fiction):

The Promise


UPDATE: My BitShares name: dnnsbcchs

Best wishes.
