One year ago this month I launched “Wentyworld.com” as the official destination for….stuff. Mostly stuff I’m involved in or obsessed with.
In the first year of this here blog I have produced 110 posts. Among the more abundant categories are health updates (everything’s great now, thanks); new radio commercials I’ve been working on; old radio projects brought forth from the broadcasting morgue; old scripts likewise exhumed; and a variety of oddball editorials on subjects ranging from french fries to social media.
In my first year I did one shameless promotional stunt, “Salad Week”, which did indeed draw a little bit more interest than usual to the blog. I’m not sure having to eat salad for a week was worth it. 2020’s theme week will be something more palatable like “Ice Cream Week” or “Steak Week.”
In celebration of the blog-a-versary I had one of those word cloud things created. It’s…underwhelming.
I’m not quite sure how “radio” is one of the tiniest-type words when it’s literally 98% of what I write about here. The option was available to change words around but that seemed deceptive. I run an honest blog, don’t want no trouble here! (I like how “Salad Week” has substantially skewed the word cloud.)
I do enjoy writing, and I try to keep the pace up here…knowing that I’m paying for the domain name helps, and getting a premium SoundCloud account is letting me post all kinds of old audio for the 2-and-a-half people who will listen. (I count myself as 1-and-a-half.) One final note: I don’t share everything I post, because I don’t want to be an annoyance on Facebook (not counting Kalin, I treasure being an annoyance to him). So you may find something of interest if you root around here.
