I would not get discouraged, and I would definitely not think that you are not popular because your watch list did not turn out for your Livestream. My suggestion is make an annoucement a couple of days in advance of your Livestream so that we can plan out days around your event. Especially on Saturdays when a lot of us maybe out or doing stuff and most likely will not be on FA we might not know about a LiveStream until after the fact.

I am not sure what LiveStream is, but clearly if it is important to you, then we can make the time to give you a hand. Just give a couple of days notice, then it will be easier than without notice to give you a hand.

well it's not really important, it was just an idea I had, you know like "oh hey most people watch people draw why not writing too?" but i can kinda see how people wouldn't find it interesting, plus i'm sure that people who are watching me probably have a lot more people they are watching and my journal got lost amongst the masses....and the Live Stream was mostly for interaction with readers to see what they thought about my work thus far and a chance to bounce ideas around. I do suppose I should of made more of an advance but hey you live and learn, plus i never expected my whole watch list to show, i've been in a few streams and the most i've ever seen was around 23-26 on average.

If it means anything, I think you are a really good writer, and I have always enjoyed reading your work. It would be great if you could complete some the stories you had started because what you had seemed quite good and interested. It has been a while since I had read your stories, but I do remember two of them with one character more or less being a grim reaper type fellow adjusting to life in the afterlife while there was another story about a furry-reptile war. I remember in the second story the character had a chunk of his ear missing, and I was interested to see how that story would turn out. Not all writers will be like those who wrote "Harry Potter" or "The Lord of the Rings." My view is follow the hedgehog principle by sticking to doing what you know, and don't look for a quantity of followers but rather the quality of them. As I had mentioned to you before the best part about your works in particular is that your characters could be furries or regular humans because the storyline you write is quite good. I would go so far to say that you could be a good screenwriter or one of those folks who writes storylines for television shows because your imagination is awesome. I suppose you owe your Father big time for reading to you all of those years when you were young.

I would not feel bad if your watch list does not give you the attention you desire because that is hardly indicative of your value as a person. I can picture you being a popular person though I vaguely remember your saying that is not the case in real life. All I can say is that watchers who do not realize your value are the ones who have the loss and not the other way around.

I would surely make an advance annoucement in the future when you do a Livestream. Especially with this being the time of year that folks tend to go out, on vacation, or enjoy the weather the abnormally low number of people checking out your Livestream could be a result of those factors. In my case I did not know you had something going on until after I had come home.

Anyway, don't get discouraged, and you are fine as a person and as a writer. It takes time to get recognized, and at least with your time in the service I am sure you have plenty of inspiration for material. At very least, I am sure the mess hall, the quartermaster, and your MP duties provide plenty of comic relief.
