Racketboy's Gaming Writer Corner

Write a blog? Work for a podcast? Then this thread is for you! Here we discuss the intrincancies of writting, keeping up a schedule and not running out of things to say. Anything goes as long as it's related.


I'm finding the number of views my blog gets to be highly irregular. This surprised me at first but it seems the kind of content will greatly dictate the results. Reviews will always be on top while analysis or other deeper thoughts won't bring people in, they can only make them stay. It's an interesting duality for sure, and I should really try to keep a better balance, it seems important to keep views afloat.

I'm also reorganizing my blog. Categorization is important!

Thoughts? What are you working on? :)

I find it very difficult to continue my horror blog. It has been plagued by hiatus almoat since the beginning, at least in part because I find there are topics in gaming I wish to explore much more than solely horror games. Bu yet, I don't want to disrupt the established theme, so I don't want to change it. I have a small conundrum.

I'm in the opposite situation, my blog was about general stuff and now I want to narrow it down to only games. Which is kind of a shame but I think I need a better focus.

I, for one, welcome Noise's suggestion :D

I just started my blog, so I don't have much traffic anyways. =P Hell, it only has four posts, and one was just an introduction. My other three posts have been about video games, but I also didn't want to just narrow mine down to video games. I know it'll happen that way, but I guess as long as it makes me happy (and it IS a common topic among most people these days) I'll probably mainly keep it video games. =) So Norris, do what makes you happy. ;)

I do not have a blog of my own, but I do write articles for Noise's Yard Sale Gaming. I have also done a few Together Retro articles and features here and I am a staff writer over a Sega Addicts.
