Conventional Wisdom

MIFFY FINALLY GETS TO DO WHAT SHE WAS MADE FOR!!!

And it’s not just me imagining selling more while away from the table, either. My tablemate Viga had the exact same thing happen to her, and when I whined about it on Twitter, more people told me it happened to THEM too.

Clearly, artists naturally repulse normal human beings by their very presence… yeah, sounds about right.

(Historical Notes: Even at this early stage, I was already subconsciously aware of one of the main reasons I stopped doing Artist Alley; I HAAATE trying to attract business.  I hate doing it because I hate having it done to me.  I’m the sort of guy who walks into a store with the deliberate intention of buying a specific thing, but tells any employee who asks if they can help “No thanks, I’m just looking” before immediately walking out without what I wanted, all because I so disliked being spoken to.  Do I tell that story again later on down the road?  Possibly, I forget.  The point is, I will NEVER know how to properly market my stuff to other people because I will never like them trying to market their stuff to ME.)
