Fiber Ramble #2

in #fiberartists7 years ago (edited)

It's been a great week. Needleworkmonday Coffee Hour, hosted by myself, @crosheille and @shadowspub went well. Thank you @cryptocariad, @mrscwin, @wondermaey and @bex-dk for coming.

While we were busy getting our technology to work and chatting @shadowspub heard what we were saying and created fiber-library for us on her PYPT server. I'll be posting a link and information about that later. The gist of it is: There is a lot of old, quality content that is valuable to us as fiber artists. I'll be posting all that I've found in that section. And by all means, if you have some posts that you like to refer back to please share them in the chat room and I'll post them in the library.

We also talked about the Writer's Block. This is a place for writers of all genres to come together. Whether it's a post or a novel you're writing, you will find some professional help here.

I pay attention when my sister, @shadowspub, talks about her struggles finding quality content to share. I have to be honest, I'm having the same struggle. The better your posts are, the better your visibility will become. More people will see your work.

Let's face it, we are fiber artists not writers. Or are we? If you share the process of the project you are posting i.e, why are you making it, your mistakes an your triumphs as well as photos, you create a post that will interest far more people than just fiber artists.

If you are having trouble getting onto Discord drop me a comment and we will see if we can help. Discord really is an amazing platform. I hope to see you there.

Onward to today’s rambling
