My Season 11 Plan
Unpacking my plans for covering Season 11 of When Calls the Heart and introducing a new series exclusively for the blog!
Hearties, April 7th is quickly approaching which means Season 11 of When Calls the Heart will soon be on our screens! Before that happens let me share my plans to cover the season.
Blog Posts:
Unlike previous seasons, my recaps and primary coverage of Season 11 will done in blog format. Bear me with as I learn my recap format and other challenges that arise since this is a new medium for me to use. I know my recent focus has been Nathan & Elizabeth but the weekly recaps will be a “formal” place to share my thoughts on all the characters and stories in When Calls the Heart. When I say formal, I am using it loosely. I have a full job outside all my When Calls the Heart blogging and fan page. So I cannot promise you will get a recap in your inboxes the same day each week. I have Fridays off so if push comes to shove I will have it by then. However, I can guarantee weekly recaps before the next episode unless real-life circumstances throw me off course. My GOAL is to have the weekly recaps done by Wednesday evening and posted shortly after, preferably Thursday evening.
In addition to weekly recaps, I plan on having another weekly post part of a new series called The Heartie Corner. I am excited to share my vision behind this new series, exclusively posted on my blog. With Season 11 fast approaching I thought this was a good time to introduce this new series. The Heartie Corner is a more informal post where I will share my thoughts outside the weekly recap. This could include random mid-week thoughts about the show, certain storylines or characters I want to dive deeper into, new previews or photos, etc. My idea behind The Heartie Corner is to create a post you will want to read while cozying up on the couch with your favorite cup of tea and a comfy blanket. For me, posts in The Heartie Corner are low-stakes, stress-free, and unfiltered without the heavy editing for the most part.
Instagram:
Instead of episode recaps and deep dives, my Instagram page (@heartiethoughts) will be dedicated to scene edits and reels. Along with the typical IG post, I plan to interact in IG stories with polls, Q&As, and more! With that being said, I am not locking myself into a promise to deliver every day but my goal is to have something NEW posted daily whether it be a post, reel, or interactive story. In other words, my typical IG post with an emphasis on the new content from the previous episode(s).
Twitter (X):
I do not have plans to live-tweet during the show. My reason is to maintain objectivity. I want to ensure I remain objective and not sway my opinions. I want my reactions, thoughts, and feelings to be mine without influence. However, I will interact on Twitter (sorry, I still cannot call it X!) in the day(s) to follow after I have had the chance to jot down my thoughts.
Closing Remarks
My last remark before hitting send is always to plan for the unexpected. This outline of my Season 11 coverage plan is not a rigid plan so you can expect it to change or vary week by week. But it is an outline to give you a glimpse into what to expect from me during the season.
Thank you for reading and stay tuned for more blog posts about the recent Season 11 promos!
