Hey all, I'm sorry to tell you I'm thinking of just dropping this blog project all together. I can't write in the funny, sarcastic, ranty way that I rant about anime in real life, it comes out sounding either stupid or too formal. I'm just having issues writing lately in general, even an original story I tried to write I had writers block (something that's never happened to me before) and no motivation to write the story from point A where I was, to point C where I wanted to go.
Honestly a lot of this is because of lack of feedback from readers, not putting you guys at fault AT ALL of course, this blog simply isn't good enough to warrant discussions and feedback like I had hoped. Sometimes I even wonder if anyone even reads this. I have a lot more fun focusing on watching the anime rather than writing about it for readers who I'm not sure even enjoy it. That and you guys voted for a FB page in a poll, and yet most of the people who have liked it are real life friends of mine rather than the 14 or so readers who voted for it, so it's a little saddening. For everyone who did like it though, thank you very much. And obviously none of this is all-inclusive, obviously thank you very much to those who've commented also. So yeah, I had tons of post ideas lined up, but no real motivation to do them so (its not definite yet) but I may just quit this altogether and figured I should tell everyone.
Thanks for reading,
Chitaka
Where do I begin my sucky attempt at encouraging you?
ReplyDeleteI personally love reading your blog and look forward to your new posts! I think that you do have writing talent and that your stuff is very funny/sarcastic/ranty etc. Not only that, but I've found some great animes through you! (11eyes, Code Geass, The money of soul and Possibility of control (C) ) Everyone gets writers block some times! I'm writing several stories, and I always have a hard time bringing myself to write them. Whenever or not you quit is completely up to you, but I just wanted to let you know that there's one person reading (and loves) your blog! I'll try to make a point to comment more for now on too. :)
I see! It seems that most blogs I come across don't have as many people commenting on them. I can understand that being a bit of bothersome.
ReplyDeleteIf you are going to to quite it's your choice. Personally I think you have done a good job with your blog. More so then I did. I keep restarting but never made an attempt to update (being busy has to contribute to this problem). I only made one post this year which was bit rush in the end. I'm thinking of starting over again next year in January using the same blog but I am getting rid of this post I have.
If you do decide to continue it could help if you try to get blog out more. I don't know whether you advertise or not as well as how much but that is the only suggestion I have as well as felt like telling you.
Well that is all. Some point you are going to get over your writers block. Maybe it might be best to take a break from writing for a while until you feel like writing again. It seems to work for me because everyone time I either don't write or draw for a long period of time I get the feeling to do it. Right now I'm really starting to feel like drawing because I have done so in a long time (mainly due to being busy with school and such)
That is all.
I must ask one question, does it feel like a burden? Because you only need to do it if you want to do it. There's no point otherwise. If the only reason you're thinking of quitting is because there's not enough feedback. Or that there's little to no discussion on what you have written then why not just try writing them in posts on an anime website?
