If there’s one thing I’ve observed about my content generation journey so far, it’s that I don’t believe this process to be for me.

Another thing that’s not for me would be scheduling, which is a real shame. By now, I was hoping to have written at least three essays, in addition to establishing a presence on at least Twitter. The plan I eventually decided on was for me to post an essay once every two weeks. I was hoping that this way, I would be able to generate interest through a sense of consistency.

I guess, in the place of consistency, I can instead reflect on what could’ve been. 

In previous blogs, I spoke at length of the cultural biases I had going into this project. I’ve made sure to remain well aware that my niche is not doesn’t reach very far on paper in terms of diversity in both the content my niche is based on and the typical audience. I aimed to problematise this by bringing up the female artists who came after the male artists I’ve chosen to focus on. I admittedly treated this as more of an afterthought in my first/only essay, but I did intend to include better further down the line.

I’m often told that the ability to be reflexive is a hard-earned skill. It requires introspection (Moore, C. 2023). I will use this opportunity to criticise my choice to treat social media as an afterthought.
