My March-June PhD Check-In
Can I blame anyone but myself for this lapse in updating you all? Absolutely not. It has been a busy time, full of data collection, illness, literary events, and exam invigilation, culminating in a delay wholly resting on me. I am sorry for that, but, oh, do I have an update for you. So, a…

Grounding Yourself as a Bookish Content Creator
I have written a bunch of posts about the struggles of social media and navigating life online for hobbies, work, and in general over the past weeks, and I think it is about time that I try to bring some sunshine to this area of discussion. Social media is a tool; it is not all…

Can We Really Change Bookish Social Media Practices?
With the discussions over the last month, from bookish content creation and the increase of publications over the last decade, to creator burnout, authors doubling full-time jobs, and the general struggle for people to keep on top of the fast-moving train that is bookish social media, it all begs the question: can we change things…

The Demand on Authors to Self-Promote
Apologies for the late post, but yesterday was a busy day for me, and I wanted to give this discussion a serious moment and the time to really articulate some of the realities for authors. Going off my last discussion about creator burnout in the digital age, it is time to bring in the ones…

Creator Burnout in the Digital Age
We live in an era where digital content is at the heart of so many aspects of life.

To Go All In or Not Go All In as a Bookish Content Creator
The more I spend time on bookish social media, the more I find myself stumped by this question. On some days, the answer is one way, but then a few weeks, or even days later, it will change. It shouldn’t, but it does. Why is that? I don’t think I am alone in this conundrum;…
