End of 3W4DW

[elyusion]

This marks the end of Three Weeks, although for me it was more like Two Weeks :p I wasn't even going to write this, but I realized if I don't I'll have created only 13 posts for the event, which is... Look, I'm not superstitious, but when things are within my control I don't want to take chances.

The conclusion I've drawn from the past 3 weeks is that either A. this site is cooked, or B. I'm cooked. Probably a lean towards B. Oh well. So it goes. ^{(Point A reminds me of a post/rant I could make about Tumblr users' general unwillingness to try other sites or *gasp* to make a real actual normal blog. So called "bloggers" when they might have to actually blog: [insert gif here cuz im not gonna go find one])}

I've also learned that I like writing, but I can only do it when there's some kind of deadline. I wrote all that stuff willingly, and I think someone who doesn't like writing wouldn't have written as much as I did, so yea. I saw that I really really need to work on my art, so I started a self-study course on the fundamentals a few days ago... Which is currently on pause, because it requires printer paper and I don't have any. I had JUST asked to go to the store the day before, so I want to wait a while before I ask again.

Hm... Yup, I think that's all I have to say. 'Till next time.

Done!

My wrapup post is here.

There are active parts of Dreamwidth, even communities with daily or more posts. It does take some looking to find those, though.

soc_puppet has written a bunch of DW tutorials, mostly aimed at Tumblr users, over on newcomers. It's easier to learn a new thing with good instructions.

>>I've also learned that I like writing, but I can only do it when there's some kind of deadline.<<

DW has deadlines galore for anyone who likes that. See fandomcalendar for fests, goals_on_dw for challenges of varying lengths, and allbingo for a new fest each month.

I don't think DW is cooked, it's still going strong for what it is. I think it's just people's hesitance to want to jump ship on a new site with strangers, which is sad... But I realize that shouldn't stop people from parking their own space on here.
