So when I make my transition to (summer) full-time blogger, I’ll be writing a lot more posts on Tofugu (as well as my other blogs). I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. I’m excited, but also a bit intimidated. Writing 4-5 posts a week is a lot of content. That’s where YOU come in. I’d like to know what you would like to see more of.

Here is my thought process on posting. Normally, I only write about things I don’t see anywhere else (compared to a lot of blogs that just snatch and cite content from other blogs, being all sheepy). I don’t like being a sheep…and besides, why would anyone read Tofugu if they could just read another blog with the same content? I want to still stay true to that, so with that in mind, I’d love it if you told me what you are interested in. Let me know in the comments. Here are some starter questions for you if you need them:

1. What do you like about Tofugu (and want to see more of)?
2. What do you think Tofugu is lacking?
3. What sections should be expanded?
4. Would you be interested in more Japan “news” (in addition to the current cultural / language posts that Tofugu mostly consists of)?
5. Any categories you would add

Anything else? Don’t feel constrained by the starter questions. Please get as creative as you want. I’d really like to improve, and ideas from readers have traditionally made Tofugu a much better blog! I look forward to reading what you have to say!

*Also, an update on the story portion of the Nara Mascot Contest. I’ll be reading them this coming week, and hope to announce a winner next week. Sorry for the delay on this part!
