Thank you all for the overwhelming support on the last journal. I can tell there are quite a few still around who really want this place to thrive.

I do not plan on closing the group. This group is my baby and it hurts to see it in such a low state, but I feel like I have a good grasp on what to do now.

Let me give you a little back story on some things that are happening at the moment. First of all, personal things relating to me.
I've started college, like official college, not just community college. This requires a lot of time on my part as well as dedication to my own art, videos, and personal projects. It's very difficult to run a group without the help of others.
"So why don't you just get more people to help you Leena?"
It's not that simple. I can't just hand out a job as I've done in the past to those who I don't feel either are able to commit the time to a group and know how to properly run them or to whom I don't already have a constant connection with.
I will not hand my child over to someone who I do not speak to regularly, I can't put that sort of trust in people. It is a downfall on my part,  but I need to have the ability to easily regulate what is going on here.
I'm in the process of looking for a few people who have the skills to run a group and who I trust will be able to do good for the group. I'll be thinning down the current mods to those who I know are doing work.
It will take a bit to get that side of things situated.

Reading over the complaints area there has been one thing I've not had a good hold of in a while and that people have been rather upset over lately.
Featured Seedrian:
This has been an issue lately, whether it being posted on time or at all as well as specifically who is drawing them
This has become a major issue, so let me explain.. I Choose who draws Featured seedrian. It is what I consider to be one of the highest "positions" I can give to someone who is not on staff.  Those who draw featured seedrian are who I consider to be the best, those who people REALLY are hopeful to get art from. This is my PERSONAL choice on who I feel are some of the best artists in the group which is why I hand pick those who I wish to draw it.  There are only 12 people a year (possibly including myself) who I request to do so and the next year it starts all over.
People have been getting upset for not being chosen. I honestly can't say anything past it is my decision to make? It is a Privilege to be chosen, not a right. It frustraights me when people get upset over this. There are very few slots and I am EXTREMELY Picky about those whom I choose. This will not change.

Oddly enough that has likely been the biggest complaint other than general activity and a lack of inspiration. To fix this I'm going to be trying to implement perhaps a monthly activity thing as well as contests and the like. I know I have something coming up for Halloween that I'm rather excited about, possibly something new in November, and of course our Secret Santa for December.
This being said I'll post more about that within the week.

I understand we've all been busy, especially in college for most of us, but take an hour or two to do this challenge for me.

Draw a seedrian. Your very first seedrian. If it was a recolor, draw her anyways. Maybe revamp her. I want to see you all focus on their flowers, petals, gems, and petal dresses. I really want to see these things flourish in this group again. We've all grown away from our roots and I feel like that really has a lot to do with it.   I really want to see that again. I'll make sure to show you mine too, and we can all grow into this beautiful garden again.

Love, Mother Tree
