#it’d be awesome if y’all could reblog to reach your fellow writeblr/artblr friends that aren’t following

fellow artists and writers what would we think about a discord centered primarily on engagement of your works? like … comment4comment, reblog4reblog, events where we all focus on/hype up a certain fic or art for the day, prompts every week to keep our creative juices flowing, etc?

there’s a real lack of actual engagement regarding our work and i really want to bring back that magic. people don’t understand how much that can do for your mental health as a creator and i want to facilitate a healthy and positive space we can all go to to get the attention we so rightly deserve

#writeblr #artblr #reblog or like if you like this idea ig? i’ve already got the skeleton of the server worked out #it’d be awesome if y’all could reblog to reach your fellow writeblr/artblr friends that aren’t following #so they can see and reblog/like as well! #like … talking to creators over the past few years i’ve noticed this is a huge thing #much more so with writers but with artists too #people just … refusing to engage at all #only liking or giving kudos (which is the equivalent of liking on ao3) #and sometimes not even then #i think if we just hyped each other up it’d go a long way #i think a lot of people would be inspired and motivated by the very thought that people are actually enjoying their work #what people who view these art pieces/fics don’t realize is that the smallest things make creators so happy #even just a simple reblog. a simple keysmash tag. anything. can be enough to fuel usfor our next piece #*us for #(sorry. tags do that when they get too long lol) #but i think it’d be a good idea and i want to see it grow and i want to see US grow #which can’t happen without encouragement and engagement #i mean for the love of god da vinci (i think it was him) said he almost gave up painting #bc it felt like he was just painting for a brick wall #but he had ONE friend who always told him what he thought abt his paintings #and it was enough to keep him going #and like. same fuckin hat dude
