Quote:What I really need is some comrades: in real life I'm basically going at this artist life alone, and after losing my other online communities it's kinda lonely.

This job is really for lonely people if you think about it. From a production standpoint, you're the curator, assemblyman, the business person, and the list goes on. Especially if you're broke. You can't go to one of those posh coffee shops and hopefully have a semblance of some meaningful social interaction. It's hard to socialize with other people of the same ilk since the ones who are deep into it are on the same lonely boat as you are. Even if it's a hangout thing, most of the time you'll just hear somebody else's background noise.

This isn't something to put you down finding 'friends' in these communities. I'm pretty sure other people had success with regards to finding one. But 9 times out of 10, that's the sacrifice we all have to pay to have this life if we're taking this thing seriously, especially when you're working right from the bottom.

Looking for a community? Join the CD Discord (https://discord.gg/2GJyKM). John Silva, old CD member has one (https://discord.gg/uKKgcK). Artgerm's seem to be lively too (https://discord.gg/tRUJy6).

Good luck!

If you are reading this, I most likely just gave you a crappy crit! What I'm basically trying to say is, don't give up!
