Since 2006, I have created and managed several blogs. I have written several articles for these blogs, ranging from education to cinema. Nearly a year ago, I began a very personal blog titled "A Career In Progress" where I began to document my career, from school to graduation to actually finding a job. I think it's a good way for me, and others, to see what it really takes to reach your goals. Whether it's an education in film or becoming President of this country, we all come across obstacles and problems, and try to reach the top. My blog tries to explain each step, what I'm doing in life, and my journey to finding a career in film.
I began e-mailing "A Career In Progress" to some of my friends and family. Now, I would like to see how many of you would like to receive an e-mail everytime I update my new blog.
First, let me tell you what kind of blog we're dealing with. It's currently titled "Cinematic Adoration" and it's purpose is fairly simple. Because I am lucky enough to attend early screenings, promotional screenings, discussion panels and world premieres for certain films, I decided to create a blog and brag. Well, no, not brag. I thought it would be a good idea to reveal some of my early reviews for these films and give insight to what's going on.
As always, this isn't for you guys, it's for me. I'd like to keep these articles and document them, and since I'm going to do that anyway, I thought I'd be interesting for you guys to see them as well. However, the question is, are you interested? Do you want to receive an e-mail everytime I make an update? Here's what you can expect:
1) I might make an update to the blog as much as three or four times a week or as little as once a week. It all depends on how busy my schedule is. If I'm not invited anywhere, for the entire month, you can expect no e-mails.
2) By reading my blog, you will read early reviews of films that have not yet been released. For these films, I will not post any spoilers, so don't worry, I won't ruin the film. I will always give a brief synopsis of the film and discuss my thoughts. They may range from several short paragraphs to a page or two.
3) By reading my blog, you will also read anything film related. I may write about a recently attended panel discussion or talk about my trip to a film studio. I might also discuss a film that is being released sometime in the future. If you're interested about upcoming films - and I mean good films, not Scary Movie 13 - interesting films with interesting people - you might find the article to be, well, interesting.
4) In the future, possibly in 2055, when the blog is run by robots, we will have contributing writers. What does this mean? Well, it means I might not be the only one reviewing films or writing articles. It means somebody else might write an article or a review for my blog.
5) I promise I'm not selling you anything. You don't have to pay to receive these e-mails. All I ask is, if what you're reading is interesting or you think it may interest somebody you know, please tell them about it. Let them decide if they want to receive updates as well.
I think that's all I had to say. If you got through this much of the banter, you can probably survive the blog. Also, keep in mind, if you know anybody who might be interested - your brother, your cousin, your uncle, your friend - let them know. If they are, all I need is an e-mail to add them to the mailing list.
If you hoenstly don't care for the blog, don't worry, I won't kill you. I just don't want to e-mail you every so often and annoy you. Oh, by the way, the blog should begin fairly soon. I don't know when but it should be happening within the upcoming month.
If you are interested, please PM me your e-mail. Do not post your e-mail in this thread or else the spam monsters will get you!
