Platform Re-Org Upcoming

A platform re-organization for this site will happen soon.

I’ve felt for some time this blog is not focused enough, covering too wide a variety of topics. In revising my business plan for 2020, I’ve figured out my audience for my platform, including the blog:

Since I’m unpublished, this, in turn, can be simplified to focus on an audience more specific to my work-in-progess, Salvage:

  • SF Readers
  • SF Writers
  • Industry Pros

I’m considering readers as potential buyers, writers as peers, and industry professionals for the business side, although all three are potential buyers. And, all three are groups filled with people I’d like to get to know better.

It’s not all about the buying.

Engaging with other readers to share enthusiasm, growing with other writers, and learning from industry professionals are all elements crucial to my author aspirations. I want to give something to my tribes out there, not just take to make money.

I’m hoping once the platform re-org for this site happens, I can spend more time finishing the draft of Salvage, Episode 1, but personal circumstances may dictate a much slower progress on both writing fronts than I want.

Time will tell, and life is filled with uncertainty.

Business Plan Overview

This is the first in a series of posts about my business plan. Hope it helps!
