This morning @laputis and I were trying to check @deemarshall's Artstorm contest theme for Saturday and noticed that there wasn't any annoucement made yet.
We we a little worried because @deemarshall has a habit of publishing contest announcement in the first half of the day. But then she finally posted the theme and we were relieved.
I even asked @deemarshall in the comment if she was OK to which she replied:
I am fine. Thank you for your concern. I led a children's cookery course and then went for a meal :) Time just disappeared.
It is nice to know she is OK, of course, and that her community can continue creating art for her contests.
So anyway, the fact the we were worried shows that we would miss @deemarshall and her work if she stopped posting on Steem.
Her daily contests have gathered a strong community around her. What would happen if such contests were no longer around? Perhaps somebody else would step in but the people who depend on her daily work would be deeply sad.
I'm not only talking about daily prizes in Steem that are so important to contest participants. I also refer to the fact of how important is to have daily themes to create a drawing upon.
@laputis and I can testify to this as well. Even though there are only 24 hours in the day and we sometimes don't make the time to submit our comics to the contest, nevertheless the fact that there is a daily contest theme eliminates most of excuses not to create.
This leads me to the idea which should be very important to every Steemian.
Will we be missed? Will our followers send us comments asking if we are OK, if we stopped posting? Or maybe no one will notice?
In the past I have submitted such comments to a few Steemians whose posts and comments I have missed. What about you?
It's easy to check this. If you're not sure, just stop posting for a day and see how your followers react.
