ENTRY 2
So, I’m going to do these diary entries more often than once a week because I do want this to be as authentic as possible. As an artist, especially in today’s age, it’s important to connect with your audience and I’ve been thinking about ways to do it, especially going on Tik Tok and talking to the camera, but I don’t have it in me to do that, maybe it will come to me in the future, but now I’m comfortable with diary entries and curated content. That being said, I think Tik Tok is a fantastic social media site, I was one of the people that labeled it “Childish” when it first came on the scene, but man has it evolved into one of the best social media sites. I think the best thing about Tik Tok is it gives a platform to people who usually would not have the resources to showcase their talents and it platforms them. Of course there are negatives to the site, but which social media site doesn’t?
For connection, I like the diary entries. Back in my teenager years, I built a following from ranting on Tumblr, I would just complain about my day to day in high school and it would entertain people. I absolutely still have the same angst in me and I could easily revert to that, but my primary intentions are to inspire, connect, and provide new perspectives, I am saving that angst for the characters and the comics I’m writing which I CANNOT WAIT to produce.
