Daily Kos: Ten minutes in the life of a struggling DailyKos diarist

Ten minutes in the life of a struggling DailyKos diarist

by skymutt

Mon Feb 26, 2007 at 09:46:33 PM PDT

My masterpiece is ready to go! I've got a sure rec-list diary on my hands here-- I've caught Dick Cheney in a big juicy fib, and nobody else knows about it yet but me. My writing is sharp, my logic is squeaky clean and crystal clear, my i's are dotted and t's are crossed, and everything is squared away and tip top.

I've got my catchy title that will draw in readers:

So I am ready to go! Time to PUBLISH!

skymutt's diary :: ::

Ten minutes later: time for a progress check! Any recommenders?

Wow! Looks like I've gotat least about ten recommenders already! Woohoo! Rec list, here I come!

Except... wait...

[squints in for a closer look]

WTF?? Only 4 recommenders??

Why don't you fucking get a fucking normal-sized fucking name, people??? Clive all hat no horse Rodeo??? Are you kidding me???

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Ok, ok, ok, it's not their fault, calm down-- 4 recommenders isn't bad, especially if I'm still at the top of the recent diary list... let's go take a look...

What? Four dairies already published since mine in ten minutes?? WTF???

And... huh?

[squints to take a closer look]

You have got to be absolutely sh*tting me! emptywheel? clammyc? occams hatchet? Is every single freaking high profile diarist required to dump their masterpiece on DailyKos the instant that I publish mine?

And looky here?! Rove is indicted?! Well lah-tee-dah! and Gore announces?! Right after I post my diary?! Go fucking figure! Not one scintilla of significant news for days, but when I post my best diary in weeks-- IMMEDIATELY, BOMBSHELL AFTER BOMBSHELL!!!

Well let's face facts, there's no way MY miserable little diary is gonna make the rec list now...

Arrrrrrggggghhhhhhh!

Meh, I guess Rove being indicted IS good news-- and I've got five comments at least...

...and maybe some people will offer up some praise for my increasingly-fragile ego, or maybe we'll have some interesting discussion...

...but wait... huh?

[squints in for a closer look]

WTF??

Five comments, and not one of them on topic?? No praise? No "Good diary skymutt"??? No well-formed responses to my finely-tuned themes?

And who exactly cares about a fricking broken link? I've caught Dick Cheney in a lie, for fuck sakes! Rome is burning, but skymutt's got a broken link-- that's how it is, eh cooky?

Siiiiigggggghhhhhh....

(lemme go fix that link while I remember.)

        I think Meta's been getting a bad rep. Because some of it can be fun, like this one. Also informative, like the stuff dmsilev does. Like the Republicans shouldn't get to "own" God, there's no reason that all Meta has to be passionate rants. (And not I'm not calling ranters Republicans...)
        
        Thanks again for this. Laughter is the best of medicine, and this baby's definitely that.

    ...you can get a LOT of readers and a TON of feedback, even if a piece doesn't make the rec list. And if you do make the rec list, where else are you going to get more Democratic readers? Sure there's a risk of a piece just getting ignored, in fact it's guaranteed to happen sometimes. Even then, you have a good chance of the diary being rescued if it is substantive.
    
    And shoot, even newspapers have a shelf life of only about half a day-- so even Paul Krugman has a limited timeframe to be noticed before his column gets deposited on the ashheap of history.
