“I want my new website to focus on a blog.” This was one of the first things I said to Bridget Baker during our planning session for this website.
The site will be simple: here is who I am, here is what I do, and go read my blog.
I don’t want my blog to be a funnel. I’m not trying to build content pillars. I’m tired of pillars unless you want to talk to me about ancient architecture.
Remember when we all had blogs? I do. I have fond memories of the good old days of xanga, livejournal, blogger, and blogspot.
I used to have an arts blog that was fairly known in the local arts community. I met a lot of cool artists through blogging and managed to score media passes to a lot of cool events.
Then, I went corporate and abandoned the blog completely. It no longer felt fun and I really wanted to focus on my day job. (Narrator’s voice: that was a big mistake.)
Fast forward to today where there are too many social platforms and everyone wants you to sign up for their newsletter.
Now I’m ready to return to blogging. As the great philosopher LL Cool J once said, "Don't call it a comeback. I been here for years." I want you to know more about me and how I think through my writing.
Maybe I’ll add a form here so you can subscribe to receive new posts. Or maybe this will be a return to the ancient ways of blogging where I just hope my writing captures your attention enough for you to come back.
I’m hoping that we all go back to blogging. Do you want to join me? No pressure.
