TLS Blog Survey

Response to this survey. =]

Goals:

Why do you blog?

To inform people on news and just talk about my fandom in general - because most people I know in real life wouldn't even listen.

What long-term goals do you hope to accomplish, if any at all?

I hope that my blog is a little entertaining and someday I hope it's as popular as Some Boys! Blog.

Where does your blog fail to meet your goals?

Making it entertaining at times is hard =/ I can't think of amusing things at times. And of course this blog is in no way as popular as SB!Blog.

If you do have goals, what will accomplishing them do for yourself?

Gain self esteem? I guess...

What do you want to gain out of blogging? A creative outlet? Praise from others? Personal satisfaction? Money?

Money? Can you seriously get paid for blogging? Wow. Nahh, I just blog to be creative. 

Do you feel that your blog should meet a requirement for amount of entries? Do you feel any particular entry should be a certain length?

I have a big OCD about not having long posts xD It has to be at least two paragraphs. 

For any particular entry, what motivates you to start and finish blog posts?

If its something really boring that I have to post, my motivation is that I know I'll be informing people. 

Do you actively consider long term goals for each individual post?

No Dx 

Subject Material:

What do you blog about?

Hello!Project news and nonsense. 

Would you be keep a blog even if it wasn’t about the subjects you tend to cover?

Sure. Blogging is fun.. haha. 

Do you write about the material to promote it to others?

I'd like for people to know about H!P by blogging about it, but other than that, no. 

Readership:

How much do you care about readership?

Alot. 

Does it satisfy you to know people are reading, even if they don’t comment?

Yes, because if no one was reading it, why would I keep a blog? 

What effect does receiving a comment have on you?

I feel happy because then I know that there are readers and they took the time to read an entry. 

Do you write with a particular audience in mind or an unspecified general audience? Why?

Depends. Usually my audience is H!P fans, but sometimes its for the general audience. If someone who had no idea what H!P was read my blog, they'd be totally confused. 

If you write for a particular audience, is it International Wota? If yes, why?

I write to IW. I like it when they post my blog, and I feel extremely happy if its recommended.  

Community: (The International Wota section)

If International Wota didn’t exist, would you blog?

Of course. But the number of reader's I have were most likely recommended from IW. 

When IW covers an entry of yours, are you encouraged to blog more or less?

More. 

When IW does not cover an entry, are you encouraged to blog more or less?

More.  

How often do you read other blogs?

Everyday. 

How often do you comment on other blogs?

Every once in a while... ( > _____ < ) 

If another blog covers a topic that you wanted or wished to cover, do you still blog about that specific topic? Why or why not?

Yes, because I want to put my own words into said topic. 

Commitment:

How serious is your attitude towards blogging? Do you consider it just as something to do for fun?

Something to do for fun. =] 

How often do you blog? How often would you like to blog?

Usually everyday or every other day. 

What priorities do you or have you put aside in order to blog? Why?

I put blogging in front of my studies... ( > ___ < '''' ) 

Do you see yourself blogging in 6 months? Why or why not.

Hmm... I'm not sure. In 6 months I'll be in high school which means more studying... but, its likely that I will be. If not everyday, I'll definatly blog on weekends. 

Personal:

Would you say you blog for yourself?

No. 

What is your feeling after posting an entry? Is it relative to the time and effort you put in an entry?

I feel good, and most of time I feel refreshed, sorta like I got something off my chest. 

What needs does blogging fulfill?

My want to get the word out. 

Do you consider yourself a writer?

My family tree is nothing but writers xD So, yes. I enjoy writing (except for fiction). 

Do you consider yourself good at writing? Good at blogging?

I'm good at writing non-fiction. 'Nuff said. 

How much of your personal life do you share on your blog? If none, why do you leave this out?

Not alot. I don't want this blog to be directed towards me. Thats what diaries are for.
