Neocities.org
So, does anyone reading this own an Etsy store? If so, what's your experience? Tell me, I wanna know! :D
Another family member hospitalized. I knew it wasn't over yet.... Things have been sorted out, and I'm still creating art, so hopefully in the next month I'll have something cool for you guys.
At any rate, no matter how long it takes, I am NOT giving up on creating my page. I may have stumbled across Neocities at the wrong time in my life, but it's gonna happen. I just can't realistically say exactly when.

Thank you so much!! Things are steadily getting better. ^^ And thank you for having so much faith in me, that motivates me to not give up and throw this aside forever. I almost have a few times, too.

*Sigh* Okay, anyway. Since I'm extremely hesitant to upload any of my artwork onto Deviantart, and Twitter is still a mess plus people just ignore me on there, AND since I just use FB for family + IRL friend stuff.... I'm leaning more heavily towards uploading it all here. I only just began creating again, so I'm going to take some time to focus on that for a while. Will continue this in the comments.

So, again I'm putting off this website, but it's for a very beneficial reason. I'm not going to feel bad or frustrated about it this time... LOL. My mother actually came home from the hospital today, everything is inconclusive and she will likely have to go back, but everything points to there finally being a light at the end of the tunnel. Both of my parents are in their 70s, so yeah, just how that goes....

This is for much later down the road, but I do plan on eventually opening an Etsy store. I've dabbled in all kinds of different forms of art including painting, scrapbooking/junk journaling, and even making jewelry. I feel Neocities is a much much better platform for increasing visibility of that sort of thing. Thoughts? Opinions? Have any experience with that?? Do tell!!!!:D Any little bit would help.
Aaaaand I'm down a follower.... It looks like someone who deleted their website entirely. I don't remember who it was, but it was definetly someone I was following. I hate that.... >.<

I kinda remember that page.... It sounds familiar. Unfortunately, the person who unfollowed me was someone who still has their page. :/ Disappointing, but not much I can do. I just wished them well, seems like they're having a tough time, too.
My mother has been hospitalized yet again. Nothing serious so far, but everything in inconclusive ATM. Keep us in your well wishes & good energies, I really am tired of all the turmoil in my family.
I am being threatened with eviction once again. I am very close to just packing my bags and leaving. Just give these jerks what they want. I've had enough.
Quick question. ^^ Are any of you guys on SpaceHey?

Awesome. ^o^ May I add you sometime? I rarely add people but I'm in the market for some new people to chat with, I'm kinda on the outs with someone on there. :/ Not to sound pitiful. Lol.
So my venting is, at least for now, is about how tiring humans can be.... Do you ever just get tired of the weird things that people do? I live with a bunch of folks who like to pick fights, and no joke, they legit get angry or offended if I don't engage. But I'm punished if I do, punished if I don't. Unfortunately that has largely contributed to me not being able to focus on my page, even a little. Ta-ta for now!

A lot of individuals are just incapable of getting a hold of themselves. I've learned to tolerate insufferable people because I'm around them all the time and I never say a word (selectively mute down to my core). Can't give any reasonable advice on this as I really have the same problem but I do echo your sentiment. Hope things are going well for you.

You sound alot like me as far as the selectively mute thing goes, unfortunately in my case that seems to be what draws people to me, oddly. And/or it triggers them. I struggle to shut it out as a result; their goal is to prevent me from doing so? That, sadly, ties into a new problem I'm having.....Sigh. New status on that soon. But np on the advice thing, just hearing me out helps immensely!! Thank you so much. ^-^
I don’t own an Etsy store, but from what I’ve heard Etsy takes a fair bit out of the money, which is part of why prices can be really high. This is slightly old knowledge though, so it might have changed.
That's the most common thing I have heard as well. On the plus side, can you choose your prices? I have some seen some "junk journals" for example go up to 300 dollars..... Not that I think I would ask that much for my art, but dang. o.O;; Some seem to sell at that price, too!
BTW Lavenderblues, I could have sworn I was following you?? I am so sorry if I acidentally unfollowed you! T_T;;
No don’t worry! I deactivated my site profile so I’m not going to show up in any following/followers list until I reactivate it!
Ahh okay, good! I kinda figured, but I get paranoid.... ^.^;
