A little thank you to a few folks.

So on Friday night I was feeling pretty down. I came home after a long days work and sat at my computer to draw. I advertised my stream like I always do when I want to chat with folks while I draw, (Otherwise I'd just draw without streaming.) and prepared to be mostly alone while I drew. (Par for the course on Fridays.) While there are some that do show up to the stream they almost never say anything. I'll ask a question or try to strike up a conversation and sometimes it'll be over an hour before I get a reply, if I get a reply at all.
Something different happened on Oct 21 2016 though. I had three folks come to the stream that actually chatted with me and each other. It wasn't the number of people that showed, it was the interaction that I found so refreshing. We talked about the Loli cells, Zootopia, animation, all kinds of things. I still got stuff drawn though. But like I said if I just want to draw and not talk to anyone I simply don't advertise a stream.
Basically that stream is one of the best streams I've had all this year and it really lifted my spirits. So I wanted to say 'Thanks' to those three watchers, (You know who you are.) and that I appreciated  and cherished the time you spent with me.
It isn't money or things that I can hold that mean the most to me, it's giving me a few moments of your precious time that makes my day.

I've dropped in on a few streams when they happened at times I was awake and free. But they mostly seemed dead -- the other people there were either silent or (more often) talking about things that had nothing to do with the drawings. I'm not good at breaking into conversations like that, so after a minute or two I disconnected.

Too bad I wasn't there Friday, I probably would have enjoyed a stream where people were talking about what I could see being drawn.

I have enjoyed streams with Aogami and a couple of other artists, where we were talking about the art they were drawing for me, but that's a different, more focused type of interaction. Still, any chance to talk about the artwork in progress -- especially if it has a cubby theme -- is welcome.

Well may I suggest just saying 'Hi.' then?
I try to greet everyone that shows up in the chat but sometimes when I'm drawing or typing I get focused elsewhere and can miss it if you pop in. Saying 'Hi' will make the chat give me a little 'pop' noise and I'll look to see what was said. I always reply to greetings and questions.
Please... give it a try next time.
