Appreciation Post - To Awesome Steemians
Hi everyone. You may or may not know - I've been under @maverickinvictus mentorship for the past 2 weeks. In case you don't know him ( whaaat? :) ), Maverick writes about tips and tricks to help fellow Steemians, stories and learnings from his experiences, opinions about current subjects, games, literature, the charity he works with, and other meaningful subjects. Besides being a great writer and content creator, he's an awesome person that's willing to stop whatever he's doing to help you, answer your questions and support you. He didn't even pay me to write this! Haha
I'm writing this post to show my appreciation for Steemians I interacted with, but also share some of the learnings from these 2 past weeks.

The Library of Infinite Knowledge
It's an awesome Google Spreadsheet with useful links about Fiction, Poetry, Non-fiction and Design. I've been slowly going through the Fiction section, as I want to learn as much as possible before I publish my next fiction story.
There's a bell icon on the top right part on Discord that disables notifications for channels, unless you're directly mentioned.
I needed this, I haven't noticed it before :). THANK YOU!

DBooks is a new Steem platform to publish books and chapters
SteemGigs is a new Steem platform for freelance work. Super cool!
I was inspired by maverick's wonderful posts
Like his "Ten Things I love About Steemit", in which I can relate so much. I'm also working on my own post about the subject.
I could also inspire
With my post about Saudade . I loved his own take on it: He wrote a beautiful post about first love and how he feels saudade when he thinks about it. It's a really sweet and beautiful text that you can read here
I also got to meet and engage
With so many great and kind people - those who came across my profile from Mave's mentions or resteems.
It's unfortunate that the mentorship got to an end but I'm sure he will have so much to offer to other newbies out there.
I will also use this post to thank and appreciate some other people from this amazing platform. I couldn't tag everyone, but just wanted to show a bit of appreciation.
@leeart @freedomshift for mentioning me in their #payitforward post and for all the support/feedback ; @maverickinvictus for being the greatest mentor ever and for all the support given! @awakentolife to believe in this Steemian newbie and be the reason why I got my curie upvote :D Will be forever thankful. @glenalbrethsen for the thoughtful comments ; @chinosky for being one of the first Steemians I interacted with ; @loudetteiam for being such a cute pie and being so supportive. @vesnapv for the appreciation and for getting inspiration from my Saudade post. @mesapronta for ser a melhor mãe!! @mrg for everything possible and impossible <3 @lynncole1 for recommending me to the amazing community of @asapers, and asapers for their amazing curation work - also for mentioning me in their Issue #41 @insideoutlet @wanderlass for sharing their deep meaningful selves on my latest post.

.. and many more!
If you've ever read, commented, upvoted or reestemed any of my posts, I'M SO THANKFUL TO YOU! :) Have a lovely day and weekend!
Awww thank you for the mention. Only thing I did was find an amazing author who deserved the award and I was more than happy I got the opportunity to do. Curie is an amazing program and I hope in the future there will even more program like it. I think what they are doing for Steemit community and great authors like is what Steemit, in general, should be about. And, that is rewarding great content. :)
I hope to see even more amazing content from you in the future. And, I am sure I will. :)
Have an amazing day. :)
Thank you for mentioning my post to the curators! It really helped my motivation a lot and I'm so grateful for people like you, that find content and give value to it. Yes, it is amazing! I can see there're more and more curator communities on Steemit, which is amazing. Totally agree! I love Steemit for the great content and great creators :)
Thank you so much. I will keep doing my best! :) Have an amazing day yourself!!
Well it is because you are an awesome person Juli and I am proud that you were the first person that I formally mentored. Although to be honest I don't think I taught you much as we mostly chatted about stuff hahha.
I always love to showcase your work because it is so good! You are simply a joy to read, or sometimes heavy depends on what you write hahaha.
I am so thankful for meeting you and will continue to be there for you.
Aww thank you Mave! I'm glad I found you and that you accepted to be my mentor. It was great to be mentored by you and I hope we can keep in touch. For me, you will be always my mentor! :)
Hahah I hope heavy in a good way?? I'm trying to think of 'lighter' subjects but my ideas are always deep and kinda heavy hehee
Thank you once more!!! :D
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I didn't know about dbooks... I will be checking it out now!
Thank you for mentioning us in your awesome post @julimattos - yoy may be a few points over our 45 rep and under but you've written a post which is super helpful to all newbies and for that we are giving you an upvote&resteem!
~ABC's of Curation member @amariespeaks
Thank you for all your support! I guess it will be time to pass on the NewbieResteemDay 'ball' to awesome newbies out there, as I'm over the 45 rep rule :) Please continue supporting minnows and great content. Thank you!
I'm glad the mentoring with @maverickinvictus went well (where does the time go) and that you've felt you've been benefited from it. He is very much a conscientious, knowledgeable and all around awesome person. Don't tell him that, though. He doesn't need to know I said that.
Oh, wait. I tagged him. On a blockchain. Oh, well.
So, what's next? Any big plans?
Haha Right! I don't know where does time go, I keep trying to get a hold of it but it's always faster than me. Yes, Mave is an awesome person and it was great to have him as a mentor. Hahah I swear I don't tell! :))
Oh, damn. I guess he knows by now? hehe
Well, I'm just going to keep writing posts and my grand goal is to publish a fictional story split in chapters. Otherwise, just keep learning. :)
Oh, nice. What kind of fiction? I've been doing something similar with a previously unpublished (and currently unfinished) novel I started (and stopped writing) four years ago.
It's a sci-fi futuristic fiction story. I'm working on the 'skeleton' of the story at the moment, but a bit scared of the narrative/literature part of it. Oh wow, you should work on it and post it! Would love to read it. What kind of fiction is it? :)
It's already posting. It has a working title of The Maya and it's kind of a mixture of things, with some contemporary fantasy, I guess. If it were a movie or television show it would probably fall under the category of drama. It might actually be speculative fiction. I've always had a problem classifying what I write because they don't ever seem to fit in any particular genre. If you know what genre you're writing in, you're better off, I think!
Future sci-fi. So, on earth? In space? And future, are we talking dystopian?
Oh wow, there're 32 posts already! I just read the first The Maya and it sounds very interesting :) Will continue reading and hopefully be able to caught up. Yeah, it's good to know the genre, I guess :)
It's on Earth, don't think we're talking of dystopian. I'd say it's like a fantasy-sci-fi type of thing!
Well, cool. In my experience, the concept always pops in first, and then the angle or the the things that make sense to you drop in and give it legs. The more you let it simmer in your head, the easier things tend to be when you actually sit down and write. That's how it works for me anyway. I try not to make a chore out of it. Then, it's not fun. :)
These are really great pointers that I have to look into soon. I feel like I’m a baby minnow in a sea of whales and sharks sometimes: so it’s good to read something positive. Stay positive and thanks for sharing this.
I hope you find them useful! If you focus on being positive and achieving your own goals, everything else will be easier :) Thank you for commenting!
Great post, @julimattos.
It appears you have learned quite a lot from your mentor.
And thanks for the tips. There were a couple of sites I hadn’t heard of before
Thank you @simplymike ! I did learn a lot from him. All the tips are things I learnt and that I wanted to share. I hope you find the links useful! :)
Always a good thing to show gratitude @julimattos.
I am glad @asapers has been amazing to you.
@asapers is an amazing community! Thank you so much @mirrors :)
