SENShobo Solicits Your Comments, Questions, Suggestions, And Concerns

If you have any general comments, questions, suggestions, or concerns about my blog, feel free to email me, or post them here with transparency in mind. I am not foolish enough to think I have anything in life nailed down perfectly, let alone a hobby, and will always try to find out what works best both for me as a writer, and for you as a reader.
The best I could hope for is to continue enjoying what I do, be responsible as a member of whatever form of media you view this as, while being informative and interesting to you, the reader (and maybe someday, I’ll develop a sense of humour too).

My advice would be to start out by making sure you’re doing what you’re passionate about in a way you can stay passionate about. Hockey, the NHL, and the Sens are my passions, and I’ve come to a week-day-ily format with breaking news updates and interest pieces that fits what I want to say, without going overboard. If you’re grasping at straws, you won’t be able to put forth your best works, hence why I don’t comment on all but the most publicized rumours, rather than to monger them.
I honestly have no idea how I wound up here, alongside men and women who’ve done this far longer than I while receiving actual paycheques for it. I just wrote to write, and somehow it worked for me. I’ve gotten to the point of being noticed, but not really talked about, but I avoid focusing too much on that, lest it negatively affect my work, as well as my general sentiments in life.
What would be a good idea is to get involved in the community. If you’re a fan of a particular NHL team and want to blog about them, find the big sites that do discuss them, and start posting comments, getting involved in the discussion, and do so without being self-promoting; people have found me just from popping ‘senshobo’, seen on a message board, into a search engine.
I really am no expert, but just do what you love the way you love to do it, don’t compromise on who or how you want to be, and in time you’ll find your way to a place in the blogosphere where you can feel right at home.

Who is SENShobo?
Fully addicted to hockey, Andrew Dodds finds it safe to live in the alleys, considering his allegiance to the Ottawa Senators in the middle of Leaf County. He tries to bring you as many worthwhile Sens stories as he can find, along with his musings on the team and the NHL in general; musings indeed since he is but a humble hockey hobo.
If you have any general comments, questions, suggestions, or concerns about myself or my blog and its content, you can post them publicly here, or drop me an email.
