Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you very much for your feedback. I would like to explain the process I follow to maintain a certain continuity and order in publishing on my blog:
- I plan my content 30 days in advance for theoretical or informative topics. This list of possible topics is selected based on questions I had at the beginning of my journey as a mangaka and illustrator, as well as questions I often see in artists’ groups, which I note down and add to my list of topics. In the case of posts related to illustrations, there is no prior planning since it depends on what inspires me to draw during the month, although I do have a list of ideas I usually consult as a source of inspiration.
- If you check the pattern of my posts, you will notice that there are days each week when I do not publish, generally on weekends. These days are reserved for preparing the weekly post drafts and researching theoretical topics to share, which I then integrate with my personal experience in illustration.
- I do use a template that I created for content with an educational purpose. This serves as a mnemonic resource for regular readers, making it easier for them to recall topics that are connected by the same pattern.
- My posts are published in Spanish first and then in English. This is because I develop the topic in my own language and then translate it into English. Yes, I sometimes use Google Translate to rephrase expressions, and I include a disclaimer in my English post because, while I am proficient in English, I do not possess the same skill as a native speaker.
- I write my posts in Word and keep a record of all the publications I make.
- I do not write the posts directly in the app since I suffer from visual problems and have to zoom in up to more than 200% to be able to read what I do and try to avoid spelling mistakes as much as possible. It is not something I often mention, but it is a bit limiting.
- Since there is no internet access in the area where I live, I have to do everything from my mobile phone. I transfer the file from my laptop to my phone, copy it, paste it into the app, and add the images corresponding to the day’s post.
- As for my illustrations, all of them are created from scratch by me. When I share an exclusive post about an illustration, I include screenshots of the process, and many of the speed paints are available on my YouTube and TikTok channels. I used to do live streams to show the process while sharing with my followers, but due to internet limitations, it has been impossible to continue them. In the case of reference images from famous anime or manga creators, I include the author's name and the work to give proper credit.
I understand that we are very sensitive about the topic of AIs. I am not aware if, when adjusting phrases, they may sound similar to those generated by them, since, as I mentioned, I am not a native speaker and, from my perspective—which may, of course, be completely wrong—they sound understandable to my international community.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and for sending me your observation, which I will take into account to improve the content I share with my community.
Have an excellent day,
