Welcome to the 257th issue of @OCD Daily!

Issue #257 highlights content from ten (10) Steemit Content Creators! The OCD team continues its search throughout Steemit to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users. Today our curators found ten new pieces of original content! We strive to find works that are created by newer Steemit users, that may not have the audience with which to share their quality content. @OCD strives to help provide that audience, and intends to showcase Steemit users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content. The @OCD nomination process *A curator will **FIND** a piece of work (typically from newer users). Within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the @OCD team, curator votes are tallied, and the pieces with the most votes are included in the compilation.* We encourage you to visit these blogs and show these great Steemians your support and encouragement. If you enjoyed their work, give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello! All of the content as chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is seen as universally appreciated and valued making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day. __________________ https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmf43vqmM3Bnn53RfBVXuuxCgMEqCwdc9aQSUFesZdq1Vj/ocdtop.jpg ![1.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPCwhUixStVn77Ss9WU8Qoa8YCF4ueKU8o8rx5WsR8ApS/1.PNG) Prepare to marvel at the beautiful architecture, scenery, and decorations inside the Geghard Monastery in Armenia, in this well presented travel post by @beawanderwoman. -curated by @Howtostartablog [The monastery in the rock](https://steemit.com/travel/@beawanderwoman/the-monastery-in-the-rock) https://steemitimages.com/DQmPDSqU5L3qo8B5UbqV8DqaSzRA3GStN9Ae5xKKt6bXGsL/Geghard01.jpg _______________________________ https://steemitimages.com/DQmezd9WYBFWm1Wa7uPGDG7SfChs5FNRKenkACQxV5oAPaQ/ocdnominationofthe%20dayyy.jpg ![2.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUFTwCWPX48cPfymfkxN2jXtP6UURgBBnR6pznbzMJLd8/2.PNG) @makanicreative takes us through the step by step process of creating this fun surrealist piece using ballpoint pens, fine liners and white charcoal. -curated by @Ma1neEvent [STEP-BY-STEP DRAWING with ANIMATION -- How I created "Saneville" with ballpoint pens, fine liners, and white charcoal](https://steemit.com/art/@makanicreative/step-by-step-with-animation-how-i-created-saneville-with-ballpoint-pens-fine-liners-and-white-charcoal) https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmeYs6iujLUfZzSNeNukMC9h8iouwoXQ23JASWx1eeHS4D/step8.jpg _________________________ https://steemitimages.com/DQmezd9WYBFWm1Wa7uPGDG7SfChs5FNRKenkACQxV5oAPaQ/ocdnominationofthe%20dayyy.jpg ![3.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQf8po58DXm4XoBcLRWwv253EuZEUgfVQZcPt698kKHdo/3.PNG) What would you do if you woke up one morning to discover you had transformed into a dog? @alheath's short story explores the subject, inspired by 'The Metamorphosis' by Frank Kafka. -curated by @gmuxx [Paws](https://steemit.com/twbbookclub/@alheath/paws) https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmSVsJbdm3Zh9QFNsgBGdQdr2J6Gmrj2pyqZsEue9DXvc8/image.png _________________________ https://steemitimages.com/DQmezd9WYBFWm1Wa7uPGDG7SfChs5FNRKenkACQxV5oAPaQ/ocdnominationofthe%20dayyy.jpg ![4.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRsVyTUAq6iXLJeh5R8LfbLwuGEY3wsDBu5TqYJJwyMbD/4.PNG) To help raise money towards a cancer clinical trial @jessicakluthe hosted a book club fundraiser, reading and discussing a novel by local author Laurel Deedrick-Mayne called 'A Wake for the Dreamland'.
