It’s tough to start. But here we go.
I have started this blog primarily in order to improve my writing. I hope that it will serve as a tool to help articulate my thoughts and to tell stories. I will endeavour to be concise.
I hope that my writings will find their way to people who would be inspired to think or act, based on what they read. I intend to steer clear of cynicism and keep the tone uplifting.
To be clear: building an audience and making money are not my primary interests, but both would serve a purpose.
- An audience would help with accountability for continuing, and would fuel my imagination. Additionally, it would massage my pretensions about being a writer.
- It would be helpful if this blog eventually covers its own costs, but the chances of that seem small – at least in the near term.
I do not intend to rapidly grow this blog by implementing the classic tactics used by savvy bloggers for whom finance is the bottom line. I’m aware of a few of these tactics and an expert in none. I feel that pursuing them would miss the point of this blog, which is to serve as a creative outlet.
Thank you for taking a few moments to read these words. I hope that as you read on, you will feel a sense of return on time invested.
