But as a respond to what and who, I can’t really remember …
Anyway … I was just looking back at my “old” HDD and saw some old “comics” I did… I used to enjoy making them till it became a source of “stress”… Why stress? Because it wasn’t easy to be “funny” nor is it easy to create the graphics in a way which pleases the eyes and expectations… I still make comic strips once in a while when I have good ideas/inspirations.
Well, also recently, a kind friend here, Carol, visited some of my older posts … especially my older quizzes … and in order to respond to her comments, I re-visited my older posts/quizzes too… It’s a well, “special” feeling …
Back then Virily wasn’t so strict and we enjoyed a lot more freedom… I’ve little “stress” on word limits and I seems to be more “creative” (or experimental) with my quizzes/posts. After long, I seems to find more restrictions (both from the site and from myself and other things). But restrictions aren’t all bad, sometimes we need some of them to set things right. But if it’s double-standard then I’ll say its better we do away with it!
Perhaps, I or we fall into the “expected behaviour curse” … or perhaps coz we cared too much about each other and Virily … we ended up acting more “appropriately” … it’s not a bad thing, because we should be thinking for others … but sometimes we lose the most “fun” selves. It’s a balance we have to find…
Anyway, I was just getting a little random “emo” so yeah … Anyway, I’m grateful for friends here! You guys are great!

Sometimes I re-visited the old post to see what images accompanied the writing because the archive of the writings themselves was stored on the computer.
Btw, I like your comics, and I could understand how stress comes up when we tried to create something.
Some things are on my part … I “feel” the restrictions and when the word and minimum questions limit rules came out, things becomes a little harder for me…
I’m so glad you enjoy the comics! And yes, it better and more comfortable being natural but at times as I mentioned, we need to twig ourselves a little to cater to others.
Thanks for visiting my older posts, I appreciate it. 🙂
I am actually revisiting many of my old works lately, so I can relate to this post
Haha … kinda complicated, huh? :p
I have to try and understand what the piece needs, where I was at with it when I put it to bed, if I have something new I can use to upgrade… just a lot of variables
I see … perhaps that is what I should do … at least I do see where I could add stuffs to enhance in some of the works
you can either try and fix your original vision with new technique or rework the original idea with what you’ve learned since then
or try it both ways to see which one works best…
All the work I do online I save up in files on my PC. After a long time goes by I use these old articles for further inspiration and if they are no longer published somewhere online I find some of them useful to create new articles.
Yes, that sounds like good inspirations!
And perhaps could work well as a reminder to some past experiences.
I do reuse some parts of my works too 😛
You are versatile and have many talents. Sometimes I visit old posters and I gladly read them again
Thank you for the kind words.
I wish I’m more versatile…
Yes, I do try to visit some old posts now 🙂
Of course, I promise to visit them ?
Hehe, that’s really kind of you 🙂
I can’t help but like the comic! Yes, we can all get emotional at times. My emotions come out like an eruption sometimes, but I rarely lose it, only if I have a very good reason.
Thank you, Pamela, so glad you like the comic!
We’re all human. We have emotions, it’s good you don’t lose it.
find ways to let them out, If we bottle them too much… there’ll be an eruption.
What an adorable comic! ??
You can’t force the inspiration, neither can I. It’s nice Virily allows us to create different kinds of content. I had my phase with quizzes, now I’m making new things such as lists with photos. And controversial polls. ?
I believe the quality of my posts tends to decrease with time because I get more confident, but I feel like Virily has been an exception.
Visiting older posts is like looking at photographs of our childhood. It’s a mixture of good memories and embarrassing moments. They can also work as an inspiration. For example, they inspired you to make this poll, and that’s a great thing. ?
Thank you, glad you like my comic 😀
You’re right, there is quite some variety here, but as someone greedy, I hoped for more or at least more ‘control’ when posting… :p (Like maybe allowing images in the content body of polls and quizzes too so that explaining certain things/rules is easier)
I’m pretty “stuck” (loyal) to a few, typically polls and quizzes … I hardly venture out, although I tried a few others previously… now I’m sticking to polls … :p
I know what you mean… I’ve a HDD with stuffs I wanna BURN!!! BURN THEM ALL!! … but there are some which made me smile … or realise some things 🙂
Polls are the most popular, because they give the highest amount of virils, and they require less effort compared to quizzes. I would definitely post more polls if there weren’t the restrictions you talk about. ?
So glad I could help. I think we should all re-visit older posts from time to time, they are still important. Glad to have you and your talent here. 🙂
Thank you, Carol.
I think it’s a good idea too!
I’ll find the time to go back and see older posts of other users 🙂
Nice article and kind funny as well
Thank you Witty Feeds, for dropping by and commenting 🙂
