Analyze this out-of-context quote from obscure influencer/author SA Poscat and tell us how you feel about it. “If I wanted to do something people liked, I would post videos of someone kicking me in the nethers. Instead, I write.”</p><p>The SA Poscat? Where do I sign up to be the one who kicks him? 🤣</p>

Analyze quote SA Poscat “If I wanted to do something people liked, I would post videos of someone kicking me in the nethers. Instead, I write.”</p><p>In the venn-diagram of all of our various preferences, there is only a teeny tiny overlap for thing that make us all giggle, consisting of mostly cats and unintelligent self-inflicted injuries. I too, prefer to embrace the niche. It's a lot more interesting, and offers much more freedom.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a></p>
Rob 🏳️‍🌈 RMiddleton.Art<p>1 April: Analyze quote from obscure influencer/author SA Poscat: “If I wanted to do something people liked, I would post videos of someone kicking me in the nethers. Instead, I write.”</p><p>Is "obscure influencer" possible? I am a Proud Unfluencer. The quote puts me in mind of Bukowski: "So you want to be a writer? if it doesn't come bursting out of you in spite of everything, don't do it." </p><p>Tough guy explanations of art connect with my problematic past that I seek to outgrow. 1/</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a></p>

"If I wanted to do something people liked, I would post videos of someone kicking me in the nethers. Instead, I write."</p><p>Sounds like it was written by a passive-aggressive asshole.

Zuri (he/him) 🕐 CET<p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a> APR-01 "If I wanted to write what people like [...]"</p><p>I agree. Because, as Coldplay says with "when you get what you want but not what you need", of course, we want a Happy Ending *for us* IRL, but, even though we might not like to admit it, many of us like fictional drama. Going through hardship makes the ending feel "earned" through the character journey. It makes us feel more connected to them when we've been with them in both good times and bad ones</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/amWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amWriting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ZuriStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZuriStories</span></a></p>

Rob 🏳️‍🌈 RMiddleton.Art<p>31: How did March go? Any changes you want to make next month? </p><p>I don't have much in the way of routines. I have not been able to manage my chronic pain reliably. Every day is different. That often feels discouraging yet I try to make the best from a lack of routine: some small changes every day, every day an experiment. I keep my long goals in perspective, always working towards them. So I know April will be different from March. I hope that I progress.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ChronicPain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicPain</span></a></p>

How did it go? </p><p>I had to look back at what I said my goals were this month. “Breathe,” I said.</p><p>I think I did that this last weekend and little otherwise. Lots of prep for launching my book, got obsessed with writing more books, went a bit too hard one week on my class….</p><p>Breathe, David! My goodness. Just play some more video games.</p>

Were you able to work on the things you wanted to?</p><p>I hit my word count goal and queued up all the blog posts I had planned, so that's a win for me! I also started working on a new piece while on holiday, which I hadn't anticipated.</p>

I'm still chugging along &amp; proud of that. </p><p>&gt;&gt;Any changes for next month?<br>I'd like to finish adding Ingram purchase links to my website, maybe even find a fulfillment method for doing ebooks direct too. Bottom line: more writing, less chaos wrangling.</p>

Were you able to work on the things you wanted to?</p><p>I assume "it" is the month just ending. Well, let's see, I've had three poems accepted, designed a poster for my first speaking gig as an author, am about to sign off on the publicity booklet my editor and I have put together for Eastercon... and have done practically no actual writing of fiction. Next month!</p>

Next month, I have to be nicer to myself.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a></p>

How did it go?</p><p>I have written a lot, but not every day. I sometimes missed my target of 1,000 words, but on other days I far exceeded it. On average, everything should be fine. I also revised texts, tinkered with the book's website and researched print-on-demand. Nevertheless, I feel dissatisfied. I would have liked to have got a little further with my stories.</p><p><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/EverlastingRoaringThunder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EverlastingRoaringThunder</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/authors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>authors</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/WritersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritersOfMastodon</span></a></p>

Any tips on how to avoid it? I’m excited to see you are publishing your book to Mastodon in chapters. What made you decide to publish it that way? I haven’t read a book that way since the early days of the Serial Box app (now Realm)! What’s a question you wish someone would ask you about your work?</p>
