i had to let go around 5-6 of those surveys just because i couldn't pass the screening questions. do the requesters actually know your age, gender and all that?
No, but if you lie you mess up their research. If you mess up their research they stop showing up, and if they stop showing up, we stop making money.

Pretty sure only one of my commas was used correctly.


edit: Note: You in general, not you in particular

That's really cool. I admire people with talent: writers, artists, singers, etc.
I was thinking on the way to work today about how I have no talents nor passions and envious (in a good way) of those that do. I just work on shit.
People often worry about being something they think they're not rather than being what they are. It's wasteful, but also kind of human.

P.S. Just working on shit is a talent a lot of people don't have, so you are talented!

I can shade somewhat decently but I can absolutely not draw anything that isn't abstract. I suck and idk how to get better lol. I have all this stuff that wants to come out on paper but it looks like a mess because I can't draw.
Who needs to draw? You don't need to draw. I mean if you use pencil first and go over it, it's a bit easier, but if you're doing art for the sake of art, try letting the art tell you what it wants. Getting held up b/c you're bad at drawing is just inhibiting yourself. Be free!

Also oils, in all their forms, can be REALLY unforgiving. Or really great.

I'm 70 miles south but that's the way the wind is blowing. It's not as bad now but last night it was like pea soup fog.
We're down in Sac luckily today looks nice and clear and we can go outside. i haven't seen anything about the containment percentages in the last few days though! so much loss :( hopefully cal fire can get it under control soon!

I tried that last night (letting the art tell me what it wants) but it just came out looking horrible. I don't expect it to look like a masterpiece but goodness I hoped it wouldn't look like colorful vomit lol

If I told you how many manuscripts/paintings/loaves of bread just came out awful versus how many came out great... well idk how you'd be, but it's a LOT. Lots of frogs before the prince, that kind of thing.

They say you can't really be a good writer until you've written a million words.

So, umm, 1,000 words per picture, carry the one, you have to draw a thousand pictures.

Chop chop! :)

it hurts bad when you toss back $2 for nothing.
It helps to think of mturk as a long term proposition rather than a $2.00 at a time transaction. It's not always easy, but doing the right thing pays off in the long run...it can lead to good relationships with requesters, and high paying work. That's just me though.

I'm down here in Modesto and the air has been really shitty. I'm glad it's looking better in Sac as Sac has been hit way harder than we have overall.
