I'm not really sure what this blog is about, to tell you the truth. It's supposed to be my gimlet-eyed ruminations on New York, but it seems like most of the time I just go on and on about myself and the minutiae of my existence - to read it you'd undoubtedly conclude that I'm hopelessly self-absorbed.
It's not that, really. It's just that I don't really know how to blog.. I ought to know -- I've been copyediting the blogs at Nymag.com for a few months now and I think I get their format. Blogs have to be about something - that's the idea. One of these days I will start a blog that is about something - maybe a ramen blog, or one called Lower East Snack.
For now, I guess my goal for this one is to focus more on the writing, so it's an enjoyable read no matter what I'm blogging about, and to make it more sharp-eyed observations, less diary-style gushing.
Thoughts, dear readers, on how Green Eyes on the City could improve?

I don’t know much about blogs (this is the only one I read) but I look forward to reading yours every week. The city has changed a lot since I spent much time there. Do you know what the Lower East Side was like 25 years ago? If you’re living there now it must be a very different place. I want to hear all about it.
ReplyDeleteI love reading about your adventures. And the pumpkin headed men. There are blogs about many things, they all take on different forms and themes. Yours will find it's feet!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is always a fun read... I'm a fan! And I don't mind in the least it's about you... that is why I'm reading it, after all. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to worry that the Lower East Side hasn't changed that much. What's going on? I need my Green Eyes On The City fix.
