Jerk Week complete; a regular column?
Oct. 5th, 2009 12:07 pmSo, I completed four articles for Jerk Week over at my Examiner column. The popularity of the theme (and the various suggestions made by people here) makes me think it might be sustainable as a weekly column: Jerk of the Week, perhaps. Kind of a "watch out for these pitfalls when trying open relationships" kind of thing.
It also made me think that my column as a whole will be easier to manage if I have a theme for each column I write weekly - not to mention drawing more regular readers who are interested in the topics at hand. My ideas include: a weekly advice question, Jerk of the Week, a weekly listing of things happening around town, and an interview column. Any slot could also be left open from time to time for one of my philisophicalrants treatises on the topic.
Any thoughts on this matter would be most welcome. I do think I need to start with one regular column at a time, lest I risk driving myself batty. Other thoughts? Topic suggestions?
