User blog comment:EtherBot/Negative Culture and How I Write My Showcases/@comment-28266772-20180913121415

I played with a curation blog at one point and ultimately succumbed to the issues you describe here. Reading every story and then picking 5 out to praise, only to then have of some of my blogs go uncommented-on left me feeling a tad sour. Overall, I remain adamant that this is a great place to learn how to write if you are persistent on the workshop and willing to actively seek out feedback by requesting it from other authors. It's not a good place to "become somebody" but then again, writing is a terrible way to "become somebody" no matter where you post. It's still nice to get a sense that your stories are being read, for sure, and the blogs you post are likely to help the authors immensely. Personally, I'd consider posting each blog to the wikia chat given that it tends to be a relatively busy place. Maybe speak to Helel about creating a specific chat room where people in the chat can discuss the blogs/authors you've posted here each week?
