An introduction to Alan’s TTIM Stories

It’s time to begin a new year with a new adventure in writing – introducing Alan’s TTIM Stories. My love for writing and storytelling includes many lengths of prose. Blogs fill a niche outside novels, novellas, short stories, and articles – short and easy to read.

Why blog?

• A way to reach readers and potential book buyers
• The joy of storytelling in short form
• Make better use of an existing website
• Express opinions and thoughts
• Experiment with different writing styles
• Put highly regarded marketing resources to the test
• Improve writing skills for future blogs, articles, and books

The name and theme for the blog is Alan’s TTIM Stories (things that interest me). In researching blogs, experts suggest choosing a specific topic or theme to attract a particular audience. Going to pass on that. I hope you’ll find the variety of interests covered in the TTIM Stories interesting. I’ll cover fascinating stories from history, nature, sports, ideas about the writing life, and social commentary (more common sense than controversy).

Goal: post a new blog every Wednesday morning beginning January 3rd. No subscriptions necessary. Notices and links to Alan’s TTIM Stories are found on Facebook (Facebook.com/alan.vandervoort) or Instagram and Threads (vandervoort_author). Just follow me on one or all of these social media platforms. All blogs can be found at alanvandervoort.com.

I hope you can join me to enjoy this adventure.

Alan
