Upvotes of the Week is a weekly curation post - presenting Sndbox fellow content and highlighting creative / impactful work by the greater Steemit community. (Part of the SBD earned from this post will be split among the authors highlighted in this post.)


Hive account@ayijufridar: Through Aceh Writing Forum or FAMe the young writer candidates are learning, but in Steemit they can express themselves with different types of writing. Some of them just know Steemit after joining FAMe. There are also currently waiting for the password from Steemit who lately is demanding more patience.
Hive account@djlethalskillz: R3MIX: An Experimental Musical Collaborations Between Two Steemians
Hive account@paolobeneforti: My website for Steem artists, Steemarket, has been online for some months but it is still just a beta version of what I meant to do. Now
Hive account@howo created for me an amazing plugin (thx!) to upgrade the website and I installed and tested it (Steempress)."
Hive account@dougkarr: This is the first in a series of posts to introduce the characters of my original novel DWELLING which I'll be exclusively premiering on the platform in the coming weeks. My aim is to help transform the landscape of publishing fiction on Steemit, and help raise the bar by exclusively premiering a full length novel I've worked on for ten years, thereby attracting new interest and readership to the community. In short Dwelling is a crime novel based on true events that impacted my life while living in New York's Lower East Side... You'll find out a whole lot more in the weeks to come...
Hive account@erb: We've been selling the gazebo short for decades. As an architectural concept, the gazebo has the potential for greatness – a small open-air structure on public land to provide a covered place to sit, to read, to have a picnic. A meeting place for neighbors. I would venture to say this world could use more of all of those things, and the gazebo is one of the only architectural forms that feels truly at home sitting in the middle of a park surrounded by trees.
Hive account@soyo: The ""IF Project"" aims at skill-up by drawing imaginative themes. Project 1, ""What if Star Wars was Ghibli Animation?"" It’s 4th day of [IF Project].
[Story] side #3 is posting from today."
Hive account@roused: He's an extraordinarily talented guitarist whose musical interests range from jazz and bluegrass to classical music. In 2016 he was invited to join the Jerry Douglas Band -- master musician and dobro virtuoso Jerry Douglas is a three time winner of the CMA Musician of the Year Award. The band's latest album was recently nominated for a Grammy, and should it win that would be Jerry's 15th Grammy award.
Hive account@luvabi: We had some fun in the Philippines Discord due to a slow Tuesday grind. It was a fun way to up our discord member numbers, meet new people. Read the post to see how the suspense built up and eventually in the last 30 mins a
Hive account@steemph discord newbie brings home the bragging rights of being a
Hive account@steemph high roller.
Hive account@jaff8: Technology is now a main aspect of our lives. It also influences day to day activities of individuals. There are some that even play a monumental role in our lives. Like social media for instance, many cannot stay a day without checking their profiles, while there are other technologies that are both for now and the future.


Hive account@jrswab: "Deadly networking? But you say networking is good!" Yes I do and networking in P.A.L. by the
Hive account@minnowsupport project was the single best choice I made since joining Steemit. But networking can distract you. Our main goal is to create content.
Hive account@teachblogger: When we are young, all things are possible for us. All we need is courage. If you are afraid of taking steps, you should stop it immediately. Life is waiting for you. Life when we are young is so much fun!
@GuyFawkes4-20:
My generation will never be able to make real money through the traditional ways and that we have to take full advantage of the new opportunities. For us, the classic “go to school, learn and get a well-paid job” is not a possibility anymore because the educational system is rigged, the teachers are incompetent, having no idea what they are talking about.
Hive account@nairadaddy: For those that have a little perspective, you know what it means financially for a parent to raise a medical doctor. It cost thousands of dollars (or millions of Naira) for me to go through medical school. So why should I be doing this for free? Sometimes I ask myself too! And I don't even know why? Lolx. Its not like I don't like to make money; far from that! If not for any other reason but for the fact that it took a lot of sleepless nights. Right?
Hive account@steemitph: I joined Steemit in the middle of the rainy season three years ago when Steem and Steem Dollars were priced at about a dollar. It was such a blessing. I was earning a decent amount of money working in the Business Process Outsourcing industry, and am able to provide well for my family. I have always wished for some form of extra income however, primarily to enable me to buy things that I really want for myself and my family that did not fit into our budget.
Hive account@leaky20: The article discusses the unpleasant experience of sleep paralysis which can be brought on when an individual attempts to lucid dream. I briefly discuss what sleep paralysis is, why it occurs, and also my personal experience.
Hive account@bree1042: Today I'd like to translate "임자 있는 몸이야." into English. It literally means "I have an owner." or "Somebody owns me." But it doesn't have anything to do with employment or slavery. It means "I'm taken." Yes, that's right. It means "I have a girlfriend/boyfriend/fiance/fiancee/wife/husband, etc."
Hive account@jeffbernst: A series of posts chronicling my first attempt at making a website that interacts with the STEEM blockchain. I talk about the different things I learned along the way and explain my code in case you'd like to follow along. It was a lot of fun putting what I've learned about web development to use!


Hive account@fingersik: Crypto world is a hectic place. Simply put, it is impossible to follow all the news – meaning tokens and their updates, upcoming projects, current ICOs, masternodes etc. Every crypto geek simply has to choose some topics that he feels are worth the time spent and then just go with the flow. I too am just one of those ordinary crypto geeks that dream about decentralized civilization and how to earn the living through decentralized systems.
Hive account@world-travel-pro: Dan, Steemit's "World Travel Pro" has only been blogging on Steemit for seven months. In this celebratory 1,000 follower post you can learn about the incredible ride he has had toward Steemit success after almost quitting all together! Also learn about some of the people who have helped make his travel blogging dreams come true!
Hive account@osm0sis: When my great-grandfather retired in the 1960's, after living through the 1rst and 2nd World Wars and his later years as a farmer, he rekindled with his favorite childhood passion: art. Through the many drawings and paintings he left behind, we embark on a journey in the villages and bucolic landscapes of Burgundy, France.
Hive account@meanmommy33: A photo tour in the heart of Transylvania, taking us also to other, different paths not just touristic ones. How far would we go for love? What's the meaning of sacrifice? No answers given but a nice way to interact and share views.


Hive account@bitrocker2020: Had my first Steem Blockchain Talk in a Crypto & Blockchain conference and also had opportunity to get a new Fiat Exchange to accept Steem & SBD apart from BTC & ETH like all other exchanges.
