I’m also a creator and it’s a writers curse

- If you haven’t noticed I recently wrote a promotional article that promoted a new social media platform called TSU.

Which is a social network that pays creators to make anything they want and get paid for their content. So long as it’s original material that is made by the member who posts it. I’ve practically dropped all of my other outlets for this place because it’s a supportive community. Not to mention there are no biases with algorithms that sabotage ones exposure for the sake of the mighty dollar. 💵

Which mind you, is a game I have played and still reaped no rewards from.

- Now to be fair, maybe my content was to lame for society to embrace but believe me you, I have seen much worse do so much better with so very little.

On TSU I don’t have that problem and it’s the best platform for a creator like me to be. However, this has revealed something about me that I hadn’t noticed before. While caught up in building up material for the site I ended up finding myself on the illustration side of things. Posting random sketches that were released right after they were done. Everything was going great, people were loving it, they were impressed and I was on cloud 9.

Until, one day I wasn’t and the reason was because I drew something that I was unexpectedly inspired by.
