Your story starts off by drawing our interest and you're able to maintain that to the very end. Good job.
I wonder why the main character isn't confident in her looks. For two different people to claim she's beautiful it means she is.
I also wanted to commend you on your awesome banner. How do you make them?
hi @bos, I think a lot of people suffer with self-esteem issues. There is a hint that perhaps she feels ugly having to wear glasses. for some children especially, this can be quite traumatic and impact their self-image immensely. Others may just brush it off and enjoy the experience. I think what makes me feel this is this:
Yes it seems so, hopefully the arrival of hiiro will help her raise her self esteem. You know I once experienced something similar to this, but I'm one of those who learnt to shrug it off.
!PIZZA
I am sorry that you have had to experience such issues. It is not easy. I have experienced similar too after being teased. In the end you have to move forward and focus on what is important. Immerse ourselves in real friendships with those who don't make us feel less than...much like the hope is for these 2 kids in this story. Thank you for the follow, I appreciate it.
Yeah, moving forward is the major, if not only way out of it.
I read your intro post and I was moved. I just had to drop a follow. I didn't drop a comment there, but may I suggest you check out @dreemport. It's this site where you drop your posts and others who use the site get to see it. But before you do that you have to read and rank five other people's posts. It doesn't eradicate lack of engagement but i noticed I get a bit more engagements when I put my post there.
Another cool thing is it doesn't necessarily have to be a hive post, people from other sites drop their post there.
They also host contests regularly. As a matter of fact this post is an entry to one of them.
Here's the link to the site. It also has a discord server where we interact and ask questions but I know you're not on discord at the moment.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me or @dreemsteem (p.s: she's the founder)
Thank you man. Is this like another Hive community then? It's like information overload in here 😆 Appreciate you looking out for me. Maybe I can find out a bit more about it.
No it's not a community. More like a tool to give your posts more visibility. And in the process you also meet new people. @dreemsteem (hope I haven't tagged you too much) is in the best position to explain this.
I totally get what you mean. In my first months (wasn't really active) here It felt like there was just too much to learn, but with time it gets easier.
There's still more for me to learn, but that's the fun thing about hive, there's endless possibilities. Looking forward to seeing more of you on the blockchain.
thanks man. If feels like a slow process to start. But I'll get there. I am going to try to do this Inkwell prompt this week, and explore a bit more. I'm enjoying the conversations though, and learning a lot! You are very kind and supportive. I appreciate that in a person.
@b0s, you may have missed it, but DreemPort is doing a spotlight on The Ink Well community and we are collaborating for the month of January.
You can see the announcement post here, and our prompt launching the challenge here.
Oh yes, I didn't miss it. I'm actually working on something. Looking to post it and submit it before today ends.
Thank you very much, I hope the story wasn't confusing or so... I am practicing my eh... "female" voice 🤣, and telling the story in that perspective.
For the banner, I use PhotoScape X on PC.... the size is 1000(px) in length and the height is around 200-350(px) depending on how much you put in.
In PhotoScape X there are options for cutting out pictures and shapes (hence the logo)... I make 3 backgrounds (dreemport, inkwell, and my name). PhotoScape has a tab for making GIFs just put them in the order you want to show... there is also a timer for how long it shows, what type of animation.. mostly I used the "dissolve" animation.
then put it in infinite looping.
here is the markdown command for putting a link on an image:
hope this helps... if anythings else... Just Holler!
Thank You Very Much!
Too bad I don't have a pc at the moment,but I've bookmarked for when I need to.
