I usually wouldn't blog today

I usually don't blog on the days when nothing is going right, but today I figured I might as well. Maybe people can help me get past my frustrations.

I've been planning this art auction for my fund raising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. My family are all artists and I have a lot of friends who are artists. I thought people would be excited about it. Nothing. No feed back whatsoever, no volunteers to donate art work, no comments on it, no interest, etc. I don't really understand it. It makes my faith in humanity go down a bit.

I've also been trying to drive traffic to my blog through friends, family, facebook and twitter. I know it takes time but I've been working on this for a couple months now and I still only have 8 followers (I love you guys!) and only about 6 people going to my blog per day. I have no idea how to increase this. I guess what I'm writing about isn't interesting enough? This may definitely be true, but I don't know how to improve it really. Any ideas?

Well, I did take a break while writing this and went for a 1.5 mile run during my work lunch break. That has made me feel a little better. Also working on my art makes me feel better, but today I left my sketch pad at home :(

Anyways, I'm done rambling for the day. Any comments and help are welcome, as usual... The next blog will be happier, I'm sure :)

    Why haven't you ever shown me your art? When are you doing an art show? When did you start blogging lol? I just saw your link on Facebook :)

    I didn't realize I hadn't shown you my art. LOL. I don't have any art show coming up (though I hope to have another one within the next 6 months) but I have an art auction on-line in just over a month.

    And I've been blogging for a couple months, lol. I'm pretty sure I invited you to it earlier, but who knows. Some days I only have 5 brain cells :)

    "Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit-Napolean Hill", to quote on of your retweets.

    Your efforts aren't unnoticed, but it can sometimes take years and years of effort to make a much bigger difference than a few hundred dollars here and there. And sometimes it takes that long for even your friends and family to come around and get on the same page.

    Keep at it and you'll see.
