The Reluctant Blogger

Over two years ago, I started an online magazine (AroundHarlem.com). The original idea was to hire great writers, get rich and live happily ever after. I only expected to write an occasional article if something inspired me. (I call my column Reflections.)

To say there have been bumps in the road on my journey to become a media mogul is an understatement. I won’t go into details about the collapsing publishing industry, market forces, finances, tech issues, etc. that have changed my initial direction, but I will say that even in the midst of the chaos, (change/growth of the original vision) I still love my new career.

While I have always been a great writer (Honors/AP English in school) I never though of journalism as a career. Now, as an entrepreneur, I find myself doing what every business owner does … a little bit of everything.

Including writing.

Hence the reluctant blogger title. (I even use it in my bio.)
