RE: Art Explained By A Writer: Ateria (1899)
You are a very intelligent woman and whenever you write you do it well, I congratulate you for that.
Evil exists, we just sometimes give it names, my dear friend. @wakeupkitty.
It makes me nostalgic to remember when we had so many contests, but people responded the same way they do now, always for the prizes, they don't like to comment unless they are rewarded for it.
You are very right. At times it feels as if it's going uphill and people comment more or are we surrounded by the wrong people? We've been drained a lot back then but we hung in for a very long time, didn't we? And we were a great group, motivated and it was fun but perhaps.. perhaps.. we should only host contest out of fun, to connect and give an upvote.
I tell you there are people who don't care too much. I haven't met one single person in the freewriters complaining about the prizes and if it comes to #miner-wewrite not more people joined because we gave 60=70 steem of prize money per week and not even as @ steemchiller supported not more people joined. Of course, it can be no one cares about us or reads us but it also means that the high prize mentioned in the title doesn't attract everyone. To me this is something positive.
I stay where I write now because it's a good place to be and I will focus more on what I like to do.
I think it's fine for you to do what you like, and right where you are, it seems to me that you are doing very well.
Some other time I will see how I can motivate myself to make some imagination contest.
I remember with pleasure those contests we did in the past, what happened to our friend who retired? I don't remember the name anymore. He left us a good prize when he closed the contest we used to attend.
