Why did you decide to quit blogging?

Well there’s quite a few different reasons on why I decided to quit the Donlak blog, and why I haven’t started a new one under a new brand or my real name. Mainly there are a couple of major reasons for this.

It took way too much time and energy away from things I really wanted to write and create. Instead of only writing what I wanted to write, at any time I wanted to write it and post it, I became seduced by the race for an audience. I became part of a machine of mass media constantly putting out new content, no matter what, in order to not become obsolete or left behind. There is so much content on the internet, it can become discouraging to see others get it and you not, even when you’re talking about the same things. You find yourself becoming envious and obsessed with building an audience in order to escape the real world job market, and make money selling ebooks and/or advertising through their online efforts.

Then all the while all these projects I wanted to do became secondary to this race of needed to post something new every few days. Then of course I stopped caring about that, and a strange thing happened… I stopped caring about the blog, the manosphere, twitter, my audience, the things I was so “passionate” and “upset” about, didn’t really bother me any more. I stopped watching twitter all day, I stopped sometimes even checking it daily. Then another thing happened that I didn’t anticipate.

I started to see the same repetition in the circles I followed, the interests I followed and the whole thing in the social media, blogosphere as mundane and repetitive – it was as so as my job that I bitch and moan about being those exact things – the thing I desperately wanted to get away from. So why was I running into the same thing, the same setting, the same torture.

Look the above was not to criticize anyone in the manosphere or blogosphere – it was merely a personal observation about myself – I limited myself to things that were these ways. I just couldn’t bring myself to continue to write about the same 3 things over and over – or fight some anti-feminist battle that really isn’t something I’m interested in doing, even if feminism still annoys me and ticks me off sometimes. Thing is I only come across it now once in a while, rather than every day, every hour and every time I thought about writing my blog.

So why not start a new blog?

I’m really not sure what it would be about. I have many interests, but whatever I start to do I’d fall into the same trappings. I’m focused more on the things I want to create, projects, rather than being a machine that pumps out new stuff just to maintain an audience.

Why Leave this blog online?

For things like this. It’s Ironic that I’m talking about quitting blogging while I post this on my defunct blog. But I left it open for precisely this. If and when I want to say something, I’ll say it. Plus I’ve got it for another year, rather than delete it now, I’d keep it open for things like this.

I will probably delete in the future, when I have a legit website up, where my other products may see the light of day, I don’t know. I don’t really have any plans for this blog or for future blogging.

Unfortunately I see blogging anything is just contributing to the overall degeneration of our society. It can give one side ammo to try to ruin your real life, or use as an example of how wrong you are to the fascist thought police. I’m just not interested in it. Seems like a lot of stress to you know, write about what’s on your mind.

Besides that, what I’m really interested is in my other projects, some graphic novels, some books I’ve got in mind, possibly down the road some new movies. As of now, I have no time line for any of them, I’m focused on the process, one page at a time, one book at a time, one project at a time, and I shall continue on as long as I’m fulfilled and enriched by it.

For now, you all have my two books you can read on amazon, until the next time.
