Posted on December 31, 2020December 5, 2020 by Irina

What Even is 2020 – My Year in Search Terms

Posted on December 29, 2020December 8, 2020 by Irina

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…

Do Blogging Breaks Work?

Posted on December 2, 2020November 14, 2020 by Irina

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…

Spoiler Etiquette

Posted on August 5, 2020August 5, 2020 by Irina

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…

Top 5 Anime Characters with a Blog

Posted on July 17, 2020July 1, 2020 by Irina

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…

The 5 Worst Things About Posting Every Day (for me)

Posted on July 3, 2020June 20, 2020 by Irina

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…

How to Write an Anime Blog Post When You Don’t Know Much About Anime and Can’t Write

Posted on June 16, 2020May 30, 2020 by Irina

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…

Why (and how) I Post Every Day

Posted on June 1, 2020May 13, 2020 by Irina

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…

Blogging in Quarantine Times

Posted on May 21, 2020May 6, 2020 by Irina

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.

Follow up on Writing Blog Comments

Posted on May 18, 2020 by Irina

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…

Reading and Writing Blog Comments

Posted on May 13, 2020May 2, 2020 by Irina

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….

Top 5 Things I find Difficult About Writing Episode Reviews

Posted on April 10, 2020March 30, 2020 by Irina

As a new anime season is dawning (isn’t it poetic? I hope so, I tried to make it sound poetic…) I find myself in the familiar position of choosing which (if any shows) I will be watching and reviewing as they air. This is actually a trickier decision than it sounds. Watching anime as it…

Top 5 Anime Lists to Do When You’re Out of Top 5 Anime List Ideas

Posted on April 3, 2020March 24, 2020 by Irina

So uhm… a funny thing happens hen you spend a couple of years writing weekly anime “Top 5” lists. You sort of end up covering a lot of them. And let’s face it, listicles are like internet weeds, there are so many already, sometimes it’s though to find something to write about. But Top lists…

Top 5 Blog Related Things I’m Doing While Self Isolating

Posted on March 27, 2020March 24, 2020 by Irina

These are rather hard times for a lot of people, to put it mildly. I am very lucky in many ways. I can and do work from home, even if I didn’t I’m financially secure and have no debt. For now me and my close ones are healthy and taking the proper measures to stay…
