As There Is No Real Respect for Writers Here...

  • Mood: Defeated
I think I am just going to stop posting here, altogether. Every time I go to post, the options for literature are deeper and deeper inbedded within the posting options - it is now a tiny sidenote to the submission process, apparently not worthy of the same headlines that "art" is granted - though it is most certainly arguable that literature is itself a type of "art."

I have yet to make a decision, as while the options are terrible and few, as writers don't maintain highlights or DD acclaim (if it were all one category, writing would never appear on the list!), I don't want to leave this place after so many years, nor do I want to abandon the writers that still are here - it's still a goodish place to attain feedback, if you know how to comment on other people's work so that they look at yours. :|

I think this site has become watered down and lackluster. If you feel that you'll get better response at another site, go for it.

I like to pretend that you belong to me, just to play with the idea, but of course I know you don't.

Well... I don't know, I've never seen dA as a place for writers, maybe. Fictionpress may be a good place to start, even though there are bad writers there, too. But dA just doesn't give writers enough recognition. I have seen fabulous writers here, and can't under what they're doing on dA. I mean, it is deviantART, after all. Meh, not really my place to comment, but yeah. My two cents on it. ><
:icontk-nvme:
Yeah, I guess you're right. It used to be more evently distributed in recognition between visual and literary artists.... Now... I don't know.

I also don't know where to take my "creativity." I don't know if I SHOULD be pigeonholed into something like DA, or if I should move on to "bigger, better things."

I respect your writing =)
