A poll about YOU!!

I have somehow ended up having a conversation about these topics with four different people in the last two days, so I decided it's time for a poll. Plus, POLL! What's not to love? Polls are FUN! I made it so no one can see who says what, so you can answer honestly, with no embarrassment, because I promise not to judge you, no matter what.

I know I used the dreaded radio buttons for some of the questions, but you can just answer with how you most often feel. (and if you're both and artist and a writer, or whatever, and the answers would be totally different, you can pick one medium if you want) It doesn't have to be for every time; I know there will always be outliers, and there is always space in the comments box if you want to explain. I have comments set to screened, but will reply (and thus unscreen) unless you say "keep screened" in your subject line or the comment itself.




[Poll #1527751]

Fascinating poll.

I find myself not being ashamed at all about admitting that comments play a large part in the overall satisfaction I feel about a vid. (And really, I'd like that not to be the case.. but there it is).

And my beta/feedback givers play a huge part in how I feel about a vid also. They can make me either feel confident about a vid that I'm not feeling so confident about or make me feel down about a vid that I was pretty previously feeling confident about. And that latter part is totally cool- in that I don't blame them for making me feel down, rather I'm down on myself for not being successful in my vid attempt. If that makes sense.

I sometimes wish I didn't care so much. It would be easier. But then if that was the case I probably wouldn't put so much effort into what I do in the first place. It's all part of the creative process. The highs and lows. Can't accept one and not the other I reckon. (That's what I tell myself anyway!*g*)

Interesting... :)

Comments often play a big part in how I feel about ME, but seldom in how I feel about the quality of a fic. I am not entirely sure what that is, or what I should do about it.

My betas can often get me to be more enthused about something I was unsure of, but seldom kill my joy in something I loved. (except specific sentences. Sometimes that happens. 99% of the time they are right and I was deluded when I thought it was wonderful)

I'm glad this stuff is interesting to others besides me! :D
