I love anime. I look forward to each season like I look forward to the presents under the Christmas tree. That is a big part of why I began writing about anime. There is something about escaping to different worlds and experiencing new ways to see the same genres. However, I bit off more than I can chew.
I am currently covering four seasonal shows. Due to some personal health issues, I got behind in posting. I am roughly 4-5 weeks behind schedule. Today, I sat down at the computer and felt overwhelmed. I am so far behind. The new season is peeking its head over the horizon and I’m only halfway through the current season that is about to end. This is not what I signed up for. I asked myself, “What is your goal? What is the purpose of this website?”
After pondering those questions, I realized that my goal and purpose have always been to share the love of my HOBBIES. I have been doing that to some extent. But, I also have been trying to emulate other blogs. I’ve been trying to make their writing goals my own. I’ve been trying to write much more than I have the time or the energy for.
So, after some soul-searching, I have decided to forfeit the goal of trying to keep up with the four seasonal shows I am currently reviewing. I am going to finish Good Night World. Out of the four shows I am writing about, it is the most interesting to me.
I feel like a quitter, but I also feel like I need to reel things in and make it fun again. So, what are my new goals?
- Pick ONE show in the new season to follow week-to-week;
- Write one-off reactions to other shows in the season;
- Write other content.
I think writing more about myself and my life will make me happier with the content on this website. I want to diversify my content a little. Not a lot, just a little.
I don’t have many readers, but my goal has never been to be a full-time writer. I forget that a lot.
For those of you who stop by and just look at my website, thank you. For the lone person that likes my posts, thank you. Hopefully, I can find a balance.
