There should be a social media filter called "Things that will make you feel crap about your career," and all writers should be required to use it on a regular basis.



EtA: this is just a general commentary, not meant to be directed at any one specific item or day...

Commiserations.

At least we aren't all depressed and discouraged at the same time. That way, we can buoy one another through the hard times.

Oh, I'm not particularly depressed or discouraged today, it's just a thought I've had that finally escaped. :-)

We (well, most of us) cheer each other on, honestly. It's just hard for any of us to log on and be hit by the social media congratulating others, often in a steady wave, on days or weeks or months when we haven't had anything other than "hi, I'm working" to say.

I'm particularly depressed and discouraged today. And as happy as I am for others, yeah, what you said.

all of us, mon frere. All of us...

I think that one was factory installed. And I can't even call what I have a career(Or, well, I don't, anyway)

Is this the Nate Thayer thing? I goggled over that this morning.

?

No, this was just a general commentary.

Writers only? Because I stopped doing any kind of drawing the year a con put my art for sale next to Michael Whelan.

Even jaded pros get the willies when they're slotted next to Whelan....


But I was specifically referring to the social media, at this point. The "OMG I'm sitting next to/shelved next to/hung next to" trauma is a whole 'nother post.....

Yeah. Same here, and mine encompasses the teaching job as well...sigh.

I have long wished for such an app. Subject headings don't always filter them out.
