Are you on Tik Tok? Me and it have a strange relationship. When I first started TT I had no idea what I was doing and I was like ummmmm nope and I didn’t even want to try. So then I deleted it. But then my little sister also got one and I was like ok, I can’t let her think I’m old, so I gave it another shot. And for some reason, this time it all just clicked for me.
So this time, I stuck with it. And now I’ve posted like a video a day (sometimes two!) and it’s been so much fun! It’s a huge part of the reason why I can only make it through audiobooks now because I have been spending so much time browsing the app for things to post instead of reading my actual books smdh But it’s been worth it.
But now since I’ve been having so much fun, I’ve been thinking a lot about my channel. Should I keep it as only book humor? Or should I start reviewing books on it too? I’ve also joined in on blog tours where I said I would post on my TT as well as my blog. But there’s only so much book humor you can do. So with that being said, I’ve come to the decision that in 2022 my TT will ALSO be my main channel. I will write my reviews here and then review those same books on my TT with the 3 min option. Since it’s a video I can incorporate things like quotes and even some small pop culture references to make it more fun. After 10 years with this blog, this feels like I’m cheating on him. But I know that things evolve. I missed the boat with YT, so I want to make sure I hit the ground running with this one.
Now if y’all thought I was crazy with how I write reviews, just imagine how me talking one is going to be. For the first few times, its going to be painfully awkward, but that’s also how my Tiktoks were also So basically I’m asking to just give me a shot. I know it’s going to be weird and something to get used to, but bear with me!
No this does not mean I’m giving up my blog. I’m just going to add the same content to somewhere else. For instance, there will still be WOWs there, but they will just be like a picture and me saying why I was excited about it. My TT won’t have any new content that my blog won’t have, and if it does, I’ll always post it here too.
So with that said, if you have any questions, and I mean ANY AT ALL. Whether they’re about TT, my blog also being like a vlog on TT, or anything else, please let me know. I’ll try to explain the best I can.
If this made no sense to you, tell me haha I promise to do my best to explain! So what about you? Do you have a TT? Is it bookish? What do you use it for? Let me know in the comments!
Have fun! I’m too old for the toks 🤣
Ok but I’m older than you? Just try it out! If you start out like I did and just do book humor until you’re used to transitions and how to work things, its so much easier.
It’s not even that, I don’t have time lol. You need to tell me your secret, but I have been absolutely struggling to find time for any of my hobbies. It sucks, I’m even wondering if I should make out my 2022 bujo.
I get that. I only had time for one this year and I let go of my reading journal. But that was also because one of my pregnancy symptoms was PMS brain and I couldn’t concentrate on anything lol But as far as how do I have time? When he naps, when he’s busy doing other things, and sometimes he could be sitting on my lap. He is ok as long as he can see me.
