Comments on: It Isn’t Easy Writing A Blog.

I’ve thought about this for a few days, and as long as it was gaming or science related then I’d definitely be *interested*. The thing is, though, this blog is something of a personal self-improvement project rather than a serious attempt at journalism or writing or whatever, and I have this weird fear that if I start moving away from that I might have to start taking it a bit more seriously than I do right now. Still, if you’re really interested in doing something like that then by all means let me know about it through my contact email address (hentzau@scientificgamer.com) and we’ll probably be able to work out a mutually acceptable approach to guest posting.

It’s all been said above but I’ll reiterate: You provide quality blog posts. Most of us don’t mind if there is a missed day (or week.) Don’t worry you won’t lose us.

That said. How open would you be to guest writers to this blog?There have been a few times over the past year or so I wanted to write a short article and post it somewhere like this. I don’t have the time to keep a full fledged blog myself. Would you be interested in hosting any articles (possibly gaming or science in nature) on this post if someone like, say, myself were to contribute?

Echoing the above comments; also, do a Fire Emblem post! It deserves a review and just because the console / PC tide has turned doesn’t mean the odd console game doesn’t deserve some critical attention.

Pedagogy means “Hentzau is showing off with unnecessarily obscure vocabulary again.”

I was joking with Lu that maybe I should move to the RPS model of ten posts a day, nine of which are practically word-for-word copies of press releases/videos posted on other games websites. Sure, the quality of the output is horrifyingly generic and the mechanistic schedule means there’s rarely any genuinely thoughtful pieces, but at least I get those pageviews rolling in!

In all seriousness, though, I’d happily write this blog even if nobody read it because it’s a good mental exercise. It’s just that people *do* read it, and I feel bad if I might end up wasting their time somehow.

To be honest, even the bleeding obvious will be unknown to a lot of people. And even if it is, it’s nice to have a blog entry that can generate discussion.

And I know nothing about conventional game pedagogy, especially as I had to look up what pedagogy meant. ¬_¬
So I say, even if you think a post you’ve written is stating the obvious you should still post it.

Don’t worry about keeping it up to date every week. We come back because your posts are awesome, not because they’re regular.

It baffles me when I get complaints about my blog not being updated regularly enough and I just think, “Look, I’m doing it in my own time and it costs you nothing. Just be happy with what you get FFS.” so I’m just thankful you post at all. I don’t always comment but I enjoy reading every post.
