So when I first started nekkidcow last year, I thought it would be a nice little side hobby to have. I mean – write about World of Warcraft. Easy easy, right?

Ha! We all see how well that’s been working for me.

Part of the problem, I think, was that I set two rules for myself when I started the blog that I tried very hard to follow.

1. No bitching. My loot didn’t drop! Nerf rogues! I hate the game! Nobody likes to read other people’s complaints, and I’m not gonna use the blog for just venting about WoW.

2. Original content. This one has really been the tough one. There’s a TON of fantastic bloggers out there that do a far better job with what they write about than I ever could, and parroting them isn’t something I’m keen on. I would like people to read this site because there’s information here that’s of service to them, not because I have the ability to paraphrase what other people have said.

Unfortunately my rules have put me into a rather tight bind. Feral druid, resto druid, healing… pretty much everything that can be written about is already being thorughly covered by other bloggers.

… except Elemental Shaman, I’ve noticed. A possible opening!

I also have a few other ideas that I’ve started on that don’t necessarily relate to gameplay (specs/raiding/gears/etc), but are hopefully still topics that people will find interesting and relevant.

Something else that I didn’t really plan on when I set this all up was the time investment that would be involved, and how that would be affected by my… undisciplined nature, shall we say? It’s really tough for me to force myself to sit down and do this, especially since creativity tends to strike when I’m nowhere near the computer, or not necessarily in a situation where I can immediately write something down (lolraid).

But like I said above – I’ve got some ideas, a few drafts started. We’ll see where this thing goes, huh?

I’m still here, and I’m not giving in!
