Hey jammers! Popcorn here, and welcome to a new post! (I've rearranged the In this post layout! From now on, I probably won't keep explaining each segment and just put the title :)
Friendship Jersey RIM
AJ Ally
How I Plan & Write My Posts
Let's get straight into the post!
<><><>
I thought we would start this Monday's post off by talking about the new RIM, which is...
A Rare Friendship Jersey!
- Price: 625 gems
- Members only? Yes
- Location: Jam Mart Clothing, Jamaa Township
Moving on...
Today's AJ Ally was pretty cool! In Jamaa Township, I saw these 3 foxes sitting together with star hats. That's something you don't see everyday xD
I thought that for the bonus part to this post, I would show you my "procedure" (as I consider it) to how I plan the post, obtain my information, and then eventually start writing it!
Let's get started!
To start off my post, I usually follow PIWR which stands for plan, information, write, and revise. *Warning: the use of abbreviations I use below is a strict overuse, so just try to ignore that :)
1. Plan - Plan means a lot of things when it comes to writing a post (at least for me). First, I have to figure out what I'm going to write about! Sometimes it's a new item that comes out, or just an idea I had for a bonus post. Bonus posts can either attach to another update about the game itself, or in some cases become it's own post (if I have a lot to talk about xD). I usually group post topics into categories, or the abbreviation I like to use, IFR: Informative (which is usually information about updates, new items, etc.), "Fun" (posts about minigames, adventures, etc.), or Rants (posts about a certain topic/subject that I have much to talk about whether it's environmental issues, game problems, etc.). Extra Tip: If you're having trouble finding ideas to write about, think about PIT (or Problems, Interests, Thoughts).
- Problems - Do you notice any problems about AJC? Bugs, glitches, game improvements, etc.? Anything around this area is considered a "Problem Post" (in my perspective). Problem Posts are usually more common around the time AJ releases a new update/some new items, because there's a higher chance of mistake early on (as we saw with the Bakery Items in late January). These are great for informative posts, and can engage a reader well.
- Interests - Interests are what you'll usually see me write about more. Interest Posts are usually posts filled with opinions, because you're usually talking about an item, event, or place in Jamaa that interests you. Whether it's a favorites post (my favorite pets, my favorite den betas, etc.), or just a small rant about one of your favorite items, Interest Posts are always fun to read and write.
- Thoughts - Finally, Thought Posts are really just rants. That's it. Similar to Interest Posts, Thought Posts are usually more opinionated and persuasive posts, with stated facts to help persuade your reader to your point of view. These are also very similar to Rants, because you're specifically talking about one event/item/place from your own perspective!
