In October I maintained a strict posting schedule on all social media platforms, taking care to post original content at evenly spaced intervals. I tried new things and also created everything well in advance of posting so that I’d have time for editing and proofreading. Along the way, I did my best to be active on social media, liking and commenting and messaging and uploading “Stories” and so on.

Not only did I not gain any followers, I lost followers across all platforms. My posts and tweets performed more poorly than they have at any other point during the past year.

I’m not doing so well, and I really would sell my soul for a little talent, or at least the ability to create work that people actually care about. In any case, I just put together a social media posting schedule for November, so we’ll see how that goes. Also maybe I’ll just have to bite the bullet and post more memes.

Anyway, I know I've said this before, but I hope people realize how powerful even the smallest acts of kindness on social media can be. I get the feeling that a lot of creative people are going through the same struggle, and leaving a like on someone's art post on Twitter or kudos on their story on AO3 can genuinely make a world of difference.
