Do What You Love: Why I Write a Porsche Blog

A Long-Overdue Heart-to-Heart Yesterday, both kids went to bed unusually early, so my husband and I had a long-overdue heart-to-heart about life. And we were completely sober (neither of us drinks). I can’t remember how we got onto the subject, but at one point we found ourselves saying: “Everyone who’s successful seems to say the same thing: just do what you want to do.” That led me to reflect: “I think I might be happier...

“Welcome Home, PORSCHE” — How I Come Up with Everyday Blog Topics

What People Say When They Read My Blog Lately, I’ve started telling friends and fellow car enthusiasts about this blog when I meet them. Quite a few look it up right then and there (If you search “Panamera” and “blog,” it comes up at the top—which makes you wonder just how niche those keywords are…) and they usually say the same thing: “You write a blog every day? How do you ever find enough to...

I Made Business Cards for My Blog: 100 for Just ¥882 with Vistaprint!

Off to Interview a Porsche Specialist As it happens, next week I’ll be interviewing the owner of a Porsche specialist workshop through a connection I’ve made. (I plan to share the interview here on the blog.) Lately, I’ve found myself wondering whether I should move my day job over to this car blog entirely… but realistically, that’s not an option just yet. For now, I’d love to keep building this as a parallel career. Time...

A Recent Blogging Dilemma

Struggling to Find Something to Write About I haven’t been able to write much for the blog lately. It’s not that I’ve been too busy to find the time—although, to be fair, I am busy. I used to make time to write even when life was hectic, so why have I stopped? It comes down to this: I haven’t had a single chance to experience what the Panamera can really do. I drive the Panamera...

My English Panamera Blog Took Two Hours to Write—Then Got Just 3 Visits

I Tried Writing a Panamera Blog in English The other day, I wrote a post about trying my hand at an English-language Panamera blog. On November 29, I actually wrote my first post. Well, I didn’t have to come up with a new topic—I decided to translate my existing blog posts into English, one by one—but it still took a surprising amount of time. First, I ran the whole thing through Google Translate, and it...

I Might Launch an English Version of My Panamera Blog…

A Surprise Mac Update Error Every Monday, my parents come over to watch the kids, so I pack the day with work and appointments that require me to go out. I can get things done without the kids interrupting me, and when I get home, there’s a delicious meal waiting… Monday is pretty much heaven. But this morning, a Mac update error left me unable to get any work done, and half the day just...

This Hatena Blog Has Reached 100 Readers

Thank You So Much It finally happened: this blog has passed the 100-reader mark. I started it 57 days ago, after my husband said, “If you love the Panamera that much, why not start a blog or something?” On a whim, I signed up for a Hatena account and began writing about my rather passionate love for the Panamera. At first, the daily visitor count was only “2” or “5,” so I kept writing at...
