@totali, indeed. finding continuous inspiration to blog is nice, in my case the inspiration the past year has been to reflect, which can be done with a blog of course ^^ I like the ep2ep ordeal, whereas it seemed extremely time-consuming before, I now have a more efficient method to handle ep2ep, just it isn’t in this blog lol. I’m definitely leaning towards this episodic ideal, because it is a simple and effective premise

@Caitlin, too true! This is why this blog is backwards for me. In RL, I can’t stay pinned to anything, and it pisses ppl off (esp. on IM and such), but I drift and flow physically, and more important mentally. I can blog, I have had personal blogs for years, but they don’t need a premise at all, just fly. The 99 reasons are like alibi, a tribute to this flow of life, where anime is such a slice, there are 99 others, I don’t want to incorporate all these things with anime, but why blog just anime… without a decent premise?

99stimuli.akameta.com is probably where I’ll begin.

I find that a thoroughly focused site stifles creativity. It drove me crazy, which prompted me to close my previous site and open up my current blog. Granted, it’s mostly anime so far but the fact that I defined it from the very start as a blog with options gives me more personal freedom. I expect to see more non-anime things in the future. Good luck on your new site. ^_^

I think we all think about this a lot. Of course, for those of us continuing, we see a lot more positive reasons to blog when we sit down to think about it. The easiest reason: why would we stop something we enjoy doing?

I won’t quit, I just need to find a premise. I’ve no intention to quit experiencing anime for one, nor to quit reading blogs, and I won’t stop reflecting on whatever I’m viewing. I’m not really writing about anything though, its just scattered. At least with reflections I have a structured way about them.

If anything, I will be creating a new blog just for this, but it won’t be confined to “anime” although that will be the purpose; meta blogging, but from a personal perspective/relation…. here’s the gist:

99 reason, To blog or not to blog… anime, a personal journey to find the answer. Unlike a continuous blog, this will likely be finite, and result in whether I continue anime blogging. ^^
