I'm Back ... and a Little Down

Well, I'm back from "vacation". Note that I put the word in quotes. While it was mostly warm, there was so much strife within my travelling group that I can't exactly say that I had a relaxing -- or even particularly good -- time. So now, I feel like I need a vacation to rest up from my "vacation".

Thus, as you can probably imagine, this wasn't the battery recharge or, more importantly for readers of this blog, chance to get the creative juices flowing again.

And to top that off, while I did pick up my 300th follower (and follower 301 and 302!), in the two weeks that I was gone, I received just 2 comments and 1 email. Look, I know that I don't do a very good job of commenting on other blogs or emailing other writers. I get that. So I shouldn't be upset when I don't get the sort of feedback that I want. I understand that. But you know what else? I'm human too (though some in my family have occasionally questioned that...). So while I shouldn't be upset -- probably don't have the right to be upset -- it still gets me a little down.

Maybe if "vacation" hadn't been such a downer...

Oh, well. I'm back and captions will resume later tonight (or, per my usual schedule in the wee hours of the morning). I'm going to continue trying to keep up with the daily caption schedule, but I don't know how long I'll be able to. We'll see.

  1. If it's any consolation I think you are the best caption writer in the community! Don't let it get you down, every day I see one of your caps is a good day!

  2. Also to add to my previous comment (sorry if this bothers you) Your comics really help me with my gender dysphoria, as odd as that may seem. So please keep up the good work!

  4. Hi Mindy, welcome back. I know it can be tough when you don't get comments, especially since you do some really great work. Commenting on other peoples sites though does help get others to comment on yours. I've been lucky to put together a nice little group of folks that I can count on to comment on my stuff and meet some really great folks on these sites. I hope you continue to post because I really do enjoy what you do, and I will make sure to keep commenting here!

  6. Always live your captions! Your story and pictures have never disappointed me yet! And sorry to hear about your vacation, wish I could help. I hope things get better really soon for you!

  7. Don't let this little Setback get you down sweetie! You are a great captioner and (i would guess) a better person! Keep a smile on your face and you'll be back to normal (or even better than that!).

  8. I'd just like to say I find your captions to be by far the best quality online. Sorry to hear your holiday didn't go as planned, I know what it can be like to have tension in a group bringing things down.

    But hey onwards and upwards and don't forget, you're the absolute best and thank you so much for all you do.
