Since I practically live on Instagram, I thought I'd share some insight regarding analytics from personal experience that could be helpful to you when you're building your account. When making any social media account, you have to consider the social atmosphere of the app as well as who you hope to reach on it. Know what kind of content you plan to post, and identify what kind of people your content will attract. Once you know who you’re gonna reach, try to connect with them. Example: I post digital shonen anime styled OCs. I expect that my content will attract other OC creators, both digital and traditional artists, likely those interested in anime and cartoons, probably in the age range of teen to young adult, and who are fluent in English since all my posts are in English. Here are three important things I learned from Instagram that you probably didn't know: The amount of likes a post gets in a day is approximately half the amount of natural likes it will get over time.

.:Three Components Of Character:. by Veidara, literature

.:Three Components Of Character:.
Creating characters is the first step for writers to take towards understanding other people thoroughly as well as expanding their own creative horizons. As a writer or artist, creating a character is about exploring the livelihood of someone other than yourself, which can open your mind to knowing other people better and what made them into the person they are. People get so caught up in who they are that they often hesitate to put themselves in the other’s shoes and so they may not understand another perspective. It’s good to take a break from that. Allowing yourself to explore, with a clean slate, a character’s personalit
I have some time, so I thought I’d try to knock out some of these guide ideas I have. This topic is about aspects of art and drawing style that really irritate me creatively. Creative people are constantly experimenting and improving in ways we don’t realize, but, there might be some habits of our drawing style that annoy other people (and make them dislike what we produce) without us realizing it as well. If you avoid the below topics, its no guarantee that you’ll get more followers, but you will definitely have a more attractive art style!

.:Story Genre Components And Concepts:.
The way I see it, writing genres are composed of a base genre and then possibly a few other sub genres to give the story its own unique vibe. There are certain genres that are big enough to have certain distinctions which make it unlikely (or in most instances, impossible) to occur within the same story universe, due to it being simply too much to focus on. Writers naturally choose one of these base genres as a directional way, so as to not overwhelm or confuse their readers or even themselves. A base genre also sets the context for the whole of the story. The readers will loosely know what to expect based on the confines of the genre—n

.:Writer's Philosophy On Touchy Subjects:.
While as a general statement, I’m in favor of touchy and uncommon subjects being explored analytically and creativity in the written word. Unfortunately though, more often than not, books that explore touchy subjects usually dive into grotesque and perverse idealisms rather than the ones which are fascinating psychologically. No, I’m not into that haha. This doesn’t mean that all touchy subjects out there interest me—in fact, many don’t—however, I respect the courage involved in publicly posting something that may likely attract adversity.
The fact is, we live in an oversensitive and judgmental, world whe

.:Co-Writing And Co-Creating:.
One of the best creative exercises to expand your skills and test your creative limits is to work with another person and create some characters, plots, and a story world together. I'm sure I’ve mentioned it in my other guides, but I’d like to make a post dedicated to it. I wrote my first several novels on my own; however, I found myself increasing in skill and producing content much faster after I had worked a bit with other people on story and character concepts. Even if its something just for fun that the rest of the world is never going to see, I believe it to be a worthwhile experience and rewarding for both of you!!

.:Hobby List For Your OCs:.
I thought of four different categories of hobbies for characters that, hopefully, if you pick a few, will add some depth to your character as a person. There isn’t any real person who grows up with only one hobby, so think on it and figure out a few items from this list your character would be interested in. They don’t have to be good at it either!
