Thinking of quitting
This site has almost really done nothing for me. I paid for a premium membership, I went into MANY groups, posting pictures for them, supporting other artists. I posted art that I could.
But.
I still get nothing.
Deviantart is not for me apparently. It's for people who are more outgoing I suppose, I don't know what I else I can do. I really don't.
So, I think this may be a farewell.
Unless there is something that I can do that can get me more page views, or as some people say "popular" then I think I will be leaving.
I am not saying that to be a bitch and go "I must be popular" It's more of that I tried for almost the whole year that I
EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS PLEASE READ
I went to the bank and pulled $495 for my rent today. Some time between the bank, the store and my mom's house I lost that money somehow.
I really need help. If people could please spread this around, I need $495 ASAP!!
$15/$495
Commissions are $5 for inks, $10 for Flats $15 full color $3 extra for each extra character $5 for simple backgrounds and $10 for detailed backgrounds.
Sorry this is priced higher than normal, I really need to have rent soon, and it's literally due tomorrow, so I have to call my landlord and talk to him. And this really sucks, because I was supposed to be moving out soon too. Really bad timing.
If you can't help
BAN ON PYTHON BOA REPTILES ETC -read below reptile
President Obama and three other senators are trying to force a ban on Pythons and reptiles alike. This I find horrible. Being a python and boa owner, this cannot go in effect. More than 1 million Americans will be branded as a felon.
Please read and sign this letter that will be sent to Obama and the senators

Last weeks Campaign
It went better than I expected. At first I was really nervous, I didn't talk really that loud and I had to repeat a lot. When I got to the improve part, it was difficult to come up with things on the spot, but I managed.
At the end of it, everyone said they liked it so far and it was going the way I wanted it to go.
This week, I am trying to think ahead, but it's difficult because I know when people start a going, it's difficult to be on top of everything, so I guess having points where you want to go is as detailed as it's going to get besides written Dialog.
I have to sit in another space so that everyone can hear me, some people couldn'

Hello, I don’t know if you’re still looking for advice, but here are my two cents anyways
First, I recommend that you remind yourself that everyone is here to have fun. That’s why we do it right? Despite that preconceived notion that its GM verse players, a good group will want you to succeed.
Second, as people pointed out, everyone has their own style. So don’t stress out too much worrying about being compared to other GMs, and remember that you’ll never get better until you practice.
If you’d like some tips on improving your confidence, our group found that running single shot games before a major chronicle allows the GM to get a feel for the mechanics she wants to use, as well as giving players a sense on what to expect. Mini games also seem to give our GMs a sense of what works and what they don’t want to do in their game. Plus the practice is always nice and they don’t take a long time to set up.
If your still worried about a story line all advice that has already been given here are super helpful. You can also look into some of the premade chronicles set up by White Wolf for ideas. Their premade characters aren’t the best, but the themes behind them can yield some good results. Just be sure to give them your own flavor. There are also lots of great ideas littered around various vampire forms. I know I just typed in Vampire the Masquerade story ideas and several threads popped up.
Not to discredit your players, but I wouldn’t worry too much about them unraveling your story too quickly. They are going to come at the information presented from a completely unique angle, so what may seem obvious to you may take many session for them to get. Just keep in mind that you’ll have to be flexible because they may grab a tangent and run off with it.
Okay, so instead of two cents I kinda unloaded my piggy bank on ya. I hope you can dig out something you can use
Anyways, good luck
