Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!
Come for the crypto, stay for the community!

Today's curation is provided by @randomwanderings. He is a returning guest curator that we are pleased to welcome back.
Author Gene here. I am a Curie Curator and in my searching for exceptional content, I come across many great posts that might not fit the Curie guidelines. I hope to use The Daily Sneak as an outlet for some of these posts that still deserve more attention then they might be getting on their own.

Submission Requirements
On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:
- You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
- All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
- You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted.
- Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
- We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
- Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
- Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
- Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.
If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.
Submission Reward
A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!
Right now @sneakyninja's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!

Thank you both: @sneakyninja & @randomwandering for your support! You're great. ;-)
thank you for highlighting my art----appreciate it much. I will be posting a lot here.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much @randomwanderings and @sneakyninja! This means the world to me. :)
Selections were good. Though, this time photography post dominated other posts.
Yes, that does happen sometimes. Curators often choose to follow a theme (or sometimes a theme emerges based on whatever mood the curator was in when making their selections).
Btw; I got your submissions. We like to see some commentary with the links to the articles. I would recommend using the long form instead, until you've had a couple of submissions accepted, so that you can see how your submissions transform at publication. Then if you want to develop a distinctive style with more centering, etc. (like @paradigmprospect does in his submissions) you can submit the markdown instead.
I was not sure how to submit my entries in the google form. I could not find any space there where I could have posted my comment. As you wrote-
Now, I have some understanding of how to do it. I think it would be better if you provide tutorial for the same. Thank you.
On this question, select No and then click Next.
On the next page it will ask specific questions about the posts and give you a chance to fill out commentary.
Oh! Thanks!
