I already have one blog, Cheaper Ironies. I have fun with it. It’s a real hodge-podge, though, with posts about book reviewing, comic books, the plays of Tom Stoppard and the continuing travails of the Patterson family in “For Better or For Worse.” There’s no real organizing principle, other than the items amuse me on some (sometimes sophomoric) level.
This blog, however, has a more serious purpose. For a while now, I’ve wanted to take my freelance writing in a new direction, to find fresh methods of generating story ideas for new markets. I have a couple of steady gigs, but who knows how long they’ll last?
This site, then, is about learning new tricks about writing and passing them along to other writers. I want to learn about how to monetize a Web site, what SEO copywriting really means, what the best tools for digital marketing might be, where the exciting online markets are and how to break into them.
That’s sufficient throat-clearing, I guess. If you stumble upon this site, I hope you’ll stick around, post a comment or two.
