When I started my blog, I really had no idea what I was getting into. After all this time I now have some idea. It should be said that everyone’s blogging experience is a personal and unique experience, but there were definitely some things that I thought, that turned out to be less than accurate….
Hopefully, this post won’t be so disorganized and sad that Seven Seas Entertainment no longer wants to have anything to do with me. A little while ago my friend and fellow amazing blogger Scoot announced that he had a partnership with Viz to sell manga. Which is absolutely amazing. And as it happens, I also…
This year is bound to be better than the last, right? You know what, that’s just asking for trouble. No one knows what the future holds. But for us anime fans, this year is sure shaping up to be a great one! It was though to narrow down the anime I will be watching and…
I think it should be said that by top 5 here I am just talking in terms of the posts that garnered the most views in 2020. These aren’t necessarily what I feel are the best posts I wrote in 2020 or even the ones that I think are the best liked. But since there…
And I highly recommend it to all of you! Well, here we are, another year down. This is probably my most cherished blogging tradition. Every year, on January 1st, I sit down and just talk to you guys about, nothing in particular. It’s my time to let you know what my blog has meant to…
If you’ve been around for a while, you might know that my favourite blog stat is the search terms people use to get to my blog. Unfortunately, 99% of them are unknown but I still manage to get a fun one once in a while. I actually do an overview of my blog’s search terms…
Ironically, I originally published this on 100 word anime. This post about blogging breaks is now painfully ironic. Ouch. You know guys, when you’ve been around the blogosphere for a while, you start to recognize certain patterns. Signs if you will. When you pay attention, you can sort of tell when a blogger is no…
It’s just good manners… If you have a blog that reviews or even just discusses current media, you have probably had to pay attention to spoilers. More specifically, how to write a complete article while avoiding any and all spoilers. One thing I have noticed about anime blogs in particular is that a lot of…
So this post has been a long, long, LONG time coming. I have this little notebook I keep post ideas in. Whenever I fill it up, I just tear out the pages with any ideas I haven’t used yet and fold them in my next notebook. The idea of doing a post about anime characters…
I have written plenty of posts about why I write on a strict schedule and what benefits I have been able to get from it. Heck I have even written posts on how I manage to write on this type of schedule. And I often get comments from other bloggers who mention that there are…
I have always approached life with the idea that I know next to nothing. You see, for me that makes things way more fun. I get to occasionally screw up and not beat myself up about it too bad and when I succeed then it’s a real achievement and I get to celebrate, no matter…
So I ran out of inspiration, because I post more or less daily, and decided to call on Lita for help since she did mention once that she pretty much never runs out of the stuff. And of course sweetheart that she is, she immediately offered to “give” me one of her future post topics…
For context, I’m writing this in the first week of May and I’ve been at home for a couple of months now. I just wanted to have a little record of how this has changed and mostly not changed my blogging experience. I would love to know how it’s been on your end as well.
I very rarely do follow up posts. More often than not I forget that I have already written about a subject and write a second, different but substantially identical post a few months later. Does that count as a follow up? If it does then I’m an expert on these! This is a follow up…
Do you struggle with comments? As in answering or even leaving them? Do you respond to all the comments on your blog? (If you have one obviously) Do you comment on other people’s? I try to respond to every comment left on my blog and I think I generally succeed, but it’s sometimes surprisingly challenging….
