EditorialJoe.com | A Hack You Know and Love

If you typed in “editorialjoe” in google, my page was at the top of that list for about a week. It’s not anymore, for whatever reason. What a bummer.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking about how to up my readership for this thing. the hope is that it gets passed around by people who get something out of what it is I’m writing, whether that means they’re getting angry or laughing a bit or any other feeling that’s compelling them to read again.

Sorry for not keeping up with the updates. I’m kind of the acting editor for MilMag now, which is both exciting and scary for a 22-year-old to conceptualize.

I’m lucky to be here, and I’m lucky to have the opportunities I have in front of me. On the other hand, I can’t do much in the way of forging my own path within the magazine. I’m getting some great experience editing and putting books together and organizing issues as they come…but it doesn’t mean I’m writing what I want to write.

I guess that’s what the blog is for.

Now that the Jan/Feb issue is going out to press, I have time to organize the next issue and get it into place before the pressure starts mounting.

I should also have time to do some more of my own writing on my blog, which I was doing pretty well until the middle of the fall.

My problem is that once I start faltering at something, I have a tendency to toss it in the garbage disposal. Screw that. I have to keep at it.

I have to get my Googlism back.
