Tottenville History

Direction for 2012

New direction

 
January 2012
 
As part of my goal planning for this year, I reflected on the direction my writing has taken over the last year, so I wanted to share with you the direction I plan to take with our Tottenville blog.
 
Since its inception, the blog’s format was to come out weekly.  True, I confess to missing some weeks along the way, but mostly I achieved my goal. For the new year, however, I believe it will be more beneficial for me, and for my readers, if we proceed on a monthly basis going forward.
 
Much has happened this past year in my life.  Added to my personal writing and book reviewing workload, I have introduced critique service for unpublished manuscripts, and have even taken on a business client for content editing. 
 
All of this is exciting, and I’m enjoying the expansion of my freelance writing career.  What I don’t want this expansion to do, however, is to make the Tottenville blog, and the writing of the book Tottenville Speaks, to get lost in the process, or become uninspired, by my trying to keep the blog going weekly. 
 
Quality is important, and if I allow myself to become overwhelmed, I suspect that quality will suffer, something that is not acceptable to me.
 
One goal of mine going forward is to make the blog more interactive, more in line with the title of my upcoming book, Tottenville Speaks.
 
So speak to me, Tottenville. Add your comments, as well as contacting me if you would like to be a guest blogger sharing Tottenville’s history. Let me know what you think of my decision of going monthly.  Share topics you’d like to see explored.  If it’s related to Tottenville, this is the place for you.
