Publishing has always been a fucking nightmare, but now it’s a layer of hell. It’s not enough that writers be good at what they do. Writers have to maintain an active social media presence and cultivate a following. Be available.

They have to be conventionally attractive enough to look good enough to see on a screen, aesthetically pleasing, kind, funny, up-to-date on trends, socially aware but not so controversial that they turn off a brand from California from slapping their discount code on a video promoting a book.

They have to do all of this with no media training, with little help from the companies that are supposed to be doing this for them.

Of course, a lot of this isn't possible for say, the 40-something mother of two who teaches English at a school and writes on the side. She’s boxed out of an already complex industry that already has enough walls.

On some level, I think authors have always marketed themselves a little, but we’ve reached such a crazy point where we’re demanding the author become the influencer. Accessibility in publishing has narrowed from an inch to a sliver. And that inch was hard enough to get in as is.

DIGITAL MARKETING FOR INTROVERTED DIVA'S | IT GIRL DIARIES

As someone who has always been interested in digital marketing and learning to navigate social media, being able to monetize it, I've also been someone who wasn't interested in using my face to bring in cash flow.

Everyday you see influencers being able to live this lavishly lifestyle with passive income from just social media. Because of this, it's been embedded in our minds that it's necessary for your face to go viral to reach a target audience.

I am proof, that this is a lie. You do not need to use your face as a cash flow, or be filming grwm/vlogs at 6 am in the morning.

I've successfully been able to create passive income, doing the exact opposite and I want to teach you how aswell.

so I watched the most recent episode of succession (oops) and the thought vaguely occured to me "oh dear how are they going to recover from this one?"

and the answer is, of course, that they won't. this is the beginning of the end. this is how they destroy each other.

anyways that's my prediction for the fandom ciao kisses hope u all have a very chill season 4 💋

every so often i open instagram to see if my siblings have sent me funny things via direct messages and instead i am forced to see people my age whom i haven’t heard from since middle school getting married. i am entitled to some form of compensation for this

This is exactly what I mean. You can and should enjoy TS' music if you want to but these comparisons and superlatives are insane.

I have been reading too much of what people have been saying about Lewis's move to Ferrari recently. And I can't take this honeymoon phase seeiously at all. I genuinely like both Lewis and Charles but I am gonna root for Lewis first and foremost. He needs to take back his 8th championship more than Charles needing to get his maiden F1 championship. I feel like there's going to be a lot of the Lecfosi who are praising LH now will turn against him next year, regardless of if he outperforms Charles or not.

a quite simple outfit, trying to use the little blue and white apron thing (which is actually a dress I think, that I just leave un-buttoned in the back and added an apron-like tie to lol)

Honestly I think i'm giving up.

I'm giving up on my blog, it's just completely pointless.

I started this blog in May 2018 and over the course of last 6 years I gained just whopping 375 followers. I mean don't get me wrong I am very thankful for all of you who decided to stay here for the ride, but in the last two years i've seen the numbers go down few times.. And over time I see lesser and lesser increase each year and month.

It's just that every post comes with disappointment and it's been like that for years. And honestly I wouldn't mind that if there was at least a small but steady increase. Instead there's mostly stagnation.

Well, either way, again, huge thanks to all of you who liked my art, I greatly appreciate each one of you and can't thank enough for staying.

Few special thanks to: @warskunkwarroom - for giving hearts to I think more than 90% of my posts if not all of them since finding my blog! @askbananapie - obviously, I mean we all know them right? Thanks for being my first real follower and helping me reach more people when I started. @ask-donkey-in-trouble - for the few interactions we had and for being my mutual, I always loved your art and had huge respect for you and your skills. I'm always super flattered and honored when I see you appear in my activity notifications. @themarvelhorse - for the many hearts and reblogs, I noticed them and appreciated them all. @dreamdancer42 - for commissioning me like... 40 times seriously that's a ridiculous number and a HUGE support for me. And to everyone else who asked me for commissions, who talked to me, who sent me asks, who interacted with me and who was too afraid to interact with me, and to everyone who enjoyed my art.

Sorry to disappoint those of you who care, but I am just tired after a six year long struggle. I suck at social media and that's just that. 375 is not very impressive for a time this long and a total of 477 posts and yet it is my biggest number across all my social platforms. And I guess my art is just not good enough to fend for itself, which is understandable.

Those of you who still want to see where my art goes in future there's my deviantart. https://www.deviantart.com/shadowblazearts

It's been fun despite the struggle.

I had those few drawings scheduled to post themselves every 3 days but here they all are together as my last post.

actually On Your Feet gave us two good things (well. three if you like Realize which I do). Kohane's "it's frustrating" line and the great crack fic idea of Vivid Bad Squad getting cancelled online for skipping school to yell at The Kotaki Taiga as he was about to go back to America.
