What are you thinking RIGHT NOW?

I really need to get my leg looked at by a doctor. There's like a painful random dent in the bone, and I don't know why.

That this was a long and productive day, from Dawn to now, of Moving Chores , the house is Getting really organised and is now 80% packed up, 53 days left to go, it will fly by. Lastnight we had Thunderstorms and rain till 7am, looks like not much different tonight, as were only minutes from Sever Thunderstorms coming in to the Sioux Fall's South Dakota Area!
Well i have to go. I wish I could stay longer!

I Hate dA Sometimes: show

It's so discouraging when I upload my friend's art - which is way better than mine, I might add (just look at my avatar) - to our group deviantArt account, only for it to get like... 15 favorites. Like seriously, we have 300-400 watchers, where tf did all those people go? Who is actually paying attention? Do I seriously have to pay more actual real life money to get a feature on dAhub so I can get more? Is that the only thing you can do to get noticed at all? Because the popular folks on dA sure as all f*** don't seem to need to do that, at least as far as I can tell.

Like honestly. I know it's not the art quality, so what is it? What in the name of f*** am I doing wrong?

Honestly I don't care for petty social media stuff but this is different. This project means a lot to me, and I want people to buy it when it's done. I need to be doing better than this. People need to care. I don't know how to do that. I'm tired of feeling like I'm running on a hamster wheel and getting nowhere. This has honestly been really pissing me off.

That happens with everything, though. You'll see it on YouTube a lot as well. I'll use a random example and say Nerdcubed, who I'm watching now, has 2.4 million subscribers. Yet his most popular videos over the past few months haven't even got 500 thousand total views.
So less than a quarter of the people who said "I want to watch more of his videos in the future and be notified when he uploads" are actually watching what he uploads.
I mean doesn't PewDiePie have something like 32 million subscribers and his videos are "only" getting a few million views. So like 20 million people who subscribed to him don't watch him lol.

Hence the number of subscribers or watchers or whatever you get means literally nothing more than any other arbitrary number ever. What you want is retention. And there's ways to improve that. [/quote]

Thanks for the support, Jules, IMNW, and Flip. I really appreciate it. I just needed to get that off of my chest. /3

I was just wondering, though, Flip... you run your own business, and you seem to have an idea of how things like this work. Do you have any advice to give to someone like me? I feel like I could really use the help.

Thanks so much for replying, by the way. Like I said, I really appreciate it.

Second time in a fortnight I've pulled a 16 hour shift. I'm pretty hardcore really.

[Carl]

^ You seriously are. Geez, three hour shifts are murderous to me, though I suppose a different job would be easier to handle longer than that. Speaking of, I really hope I'm not scheduled for 6+ hours on Saturday and/or Sunday this week.

[Shadowfax]

Good grief Si! I'd ask for it as time in lieu so you can have a day off next week or the one after. The money could be nice, though Hope you aren't too tired.

Off to ride Rio today. Hope she isn't as naughty as last time

[Queen Elsa]

Whoa. What was with that dream?! That was creepy! And now I'm really scared and don't want to go back to sleep.

[linnea]

I dunno XD

[Marizzle]

I can't believe I slept until 13h. Oh, damn!

How old Kiara IS supposed to be in TLG? (I know cub but which stage of a cub?)
