Boomeranging Back to Blogging: The Return of the HookedOnCozy Blog

So…yeah. If you’ve been a die hard fan for several years, you’re probably wondering what happened to hookedoncozy.com.

I ended up jumping head first into social media and expanding how much I posted online and on different sites.

I figured out a bit of the TikTok algorithm, and thanks to that, enjoyed a bit of buzz during my 2023 convention season. I heard repeated cries of “I saw this on TikTok!” as they visited my booth.

Through dumb luck or persistence (not quite sure), I also managed to reach Twitch Affiliate. Every Saturday and Sunday afternoon (for the most part, unless there’s a scheduling conflict), I try new ideas and engage with the audience in real time. It’s been wonderful to engage with both crocheters and non-crocheters.

I’ve had a lot of fun with various custom orders

I ended up having my most successful Anime Midwest in 2023. Everything was going great!

However, due to the looming TikTok ban, my Facebook getting irrevocably hacked, Twitter being a dumpster fire, and Instagram having an algorithm that makes no sense, I am tired of trying to keep up with all of these sites.

So this will be the new hub. Regardless if TikTok goes down or if Instagram shows my post to 30 people, this will be where I have my news.

For 2024, HookedOnCozy will be at Anime Magic, Anime Midwest and Con+Alt+Delete. It will be my first year doing conventions that aren’t a Ryan Kopf Con, something that I’ve been doing for the past eight years, excluding COVID 2020.

Stay Tuned!
