"Its hard, cuz zines cost money and time, but in the end, even though i want to reach people, I try to focus in on the fact that this is for me, it is my thoughts, my outlet. I think just doing something for the love of it justifies it, even if its…"
b stein replied to Francis's discussion Attention Fellow Personal Zine Writers"I wonder if Bloggers, tweeters or facebookers think this? (probably not)I think the key is to write interesting stuff (dramatic, humorous, emotionally intense, romantic, sexual, personal or even day in the life). And don't be afraid to edit.As…"
Chrysothème A. replied to Francis's discussion Attention Fellow Personal Zine Writers"i came across a quote on pinterest.com which said something to the effect of "i don't care if anyone knows, i just want to make beautiful things," which kinda sums up my feelings on why i made a zine at all. :)"
CheapoComics replied to Francis's discussion Attention Fellow Personal Zine Writers"Sometimes just expressing yourself is reward in itself. A zine is just that..a zine...and if only one other person reads it or even if, God forbid, no one reads it, at least you've made an effort in creating something.
Hopefully I…"
Mel W. replied to Francis's discussion Attention Fellow Personal Zine Writers"Yes. I write a perzine and I do it to release my feelings, thoughts, emotions, etc..I like to think that there are people out there who can relate. Sometimes when you're going through things, it is nice to know that other…"
Betty replied to Francis's discussion Attention Fellow Personal Zine Writers"Yeah, this kind of thinking has been holding me back since I was a teenager. For real. Back then I just DID what was in my head. I just MADE what was in my head. I didn't sit and worry about it and it was exhilarating and I felt so…"
Francis replied to Francis's discussion Attention Fellow Personal Zine Writers"Thanks a lot, you guys. Every one of your replies was helpful and encouraging, and you all make great points. I think I might have already kind of knew some of the things you guys pointed out--I just needed someone else to say it to me before I…"

Melanie replied to Francis's discussion Attention Fellow Personal Zine Writers"Yes, I have definitely thought that about my zines/ what I had to say!!! I guess that is why it took me five years to make a new zine!!"
Poelekie de Vries replied to Francis's discussion Attention Fellow Personal Zine Writers"Yup! I'm going through that right now, trying to finish a zine that I've been working on for a while, but I've also had it with other zines/blogs/articles I've written. Having other people read things and give their opinion…"
Francis replied to Francis's discussion Attention Fellow Personal Zine Writers"It's a big relief to know I'm not the only one. I find it kills my momentum a lot, in the middle of working really hard on something. Suddenly I feel like a balloon being quickly deflated XD It's the same for me though--the reasoning…"
Tee Rex replied to Francis's discussion Attention Fellow Personal Zine Writers"Ahaha, yes. Every single time I make a zine. Sometimes it throws me so bad that I can't even get started. The last issue that I did, I actually had a full on meltdown. I was like, why do I even care this much? What is the POINT?! And it got…"

Hey guys,This might seem like a weird question, and I apologize if it has already been discussed, but I DID search it as best I knew how.I was wondering, if when you're creating your content, you ever just...wonder why you're doing it at all--'Why should anyone even care what I have to say, or what my experiences are?"I can't think of any better way to phrase the question, but do you know what I mean? Have you ever thought this way, and has it stopped you, or changed what you do at all? How do…See More

i just looked up omegle, i had never heard of it. kinda reminded me of that chat roulette thing, i remember an abusive drunk housemate using that and just giving people the finger all night like it was so hilarious. anyway... there's not really interpretive dance. a little bit a movement i guess but mostly i am sitting on the floor singing. haha. but it is weird.
