Or you could just not have a twitter.

It's been working great for me so far.

I wish it were that easy for me to quit. 

Where else am I gonna have a monthly audience of 200K-300K people. Not here. or DeviantArt. Or Blogger. or YouTube. OR anywhere online outside of Twitter, if I'm being honest. It's the only website where my audience is that large. I don't know if I want to just give something like that up.

It would be easier to quit if I didn't have an audience of millions of devoted fans there.

You don't have that many followers.

Wait a minute. Tell me how many I have? Do you even know how many followers I have? It's not the most, but it is more than quite a few others.

How do you know what my twitter is? I never posted a link...

Last time i checked (1 minute ago) I have 1,749 followers. But it's not a competition. Easy for me to say, eh?

Then I have more followers than you. So if this was a competition, I win.

But look, it's NOT a competition. I don't treat things that way. And you do know tons of Twitter users have 500 followers or less like I used to, don't you? Not everyone has followers in the 1,000s. 

My followers were in the 100s for more than 7 years. They only just now went over 1000.

Not everyone on Twitter gets an audience in a few weeks or overnight.

It took me more than 8 years to get a million impressions and 1,000 followers. 

 

I don't do anything fast and cheap. It takes me time to achieve things. None of my victories happen quickly. Even if I do achieve something in a day, how long did it take me to get to that point? Probably a decade to build up to most of it.

Just say, "you're better than me" that's all I ask of you.

Do you have a superiority complex, by any chance?

Okay "You're better than me". Are you happy now?

You do know I'm just saying that, right?

Don't throw too many parties when you celebrate...

Very happy. Thank you. Proceed with whatever it is you were doing.

Oh man. You're so insecure with your power, it's actually kind of funny. 

Just remember

Just because someone says you're "better" doesn't mean it actually means anything.

I understand what you think you're saying.

Just remember, if you have to feed people lines, they're only saying what you want them too. That means it's not sincere praise.

That's different than REAL un"scripted" feedback.

yeah?  surprised to hear that.  i know a lot about opening and changing/deleting social media accounts.

facebook is like signing up for personal harassment sometimes, well it seems that way having such bersonal things available out there.

then snapchat and twitter are the only two i have used.  snap chat seems like a better reason to trade art and humor,

and twitter is all based on peoples reactions, to real life shit...  which means trolls are going to fly out of the woodwork

I borrowed this for free through the Prime lending library. I've seen some poorly edited books but this is by far the worst. It's obvious from the first page that the author never spell checked his work. Compound words created becausethe author forgotto hit the spacebar are everywhere. Dialog is often not in quotes. Whole paragraphs are but quite often not dialog. Words are randomly capitalized; after commas, in the middle of sentences, common nouns.
The writing itself is. . . bad. I'm honestly at a loss for words trying to describe how to describe just how bad this really is.
A small sample of the narrative:

*He Temple first thing, second thing he thought was "Would began walking towards the front door, trying to seem full of good will and cheer, even though he was a salesman He knocked on the front door. It echoed throughout the Temple and the air in the parking lot, at a great distance.*

That's from the first page and first story. A story about a salesman who approaches a temple of monks to sell said monks life insurance and then, for no discernable reason, asks joins the monk's order but would rather have money. The end. That's the entire story.

The rest of the writing is just as bad. The comics look like the doodles junior high school students make in their notebooks while they're not paying attention in their English class.

In conclusion? This is horrible, some of the worst writing I've seen. If it weren't for the ease with which people can self publish these days the only people who would have been subjected to this authors writing would have been his parents, friends and the occasional unfortunate teacher. Avoid this.Show Less

I'm reluctant to provide really negative feedback to authors, but this just seems like someone was bored at lunch, quickly drew some stuff and thought, hey, I wonder if I can make this into a book. With the caveat that I don't read a lot of magna and some who are more immersed in that genre may find some redeeming qualities, this just simply looks like lazy work. Not "on-the-edge cool and raw" but just lazy. Now let's get to the story, or lack thereof. There just isn't a story here. The book's main benefits are no additional cost (I grabbed this through Kindle Unlimited) and the actual story is quite brief so you don't lose much time with it.

Also, I'm not sure why the author includes "The Anthology" in the title but this isn't an anthology.Show Less
