The Official Website of Tom Keaten

Thanks for stopping by to check out my site. What exactly is it, you ask? Well, that’s probably harder to say than it should be.

In the most abstract sense I suppose it’s a commitment. A commitment to you, my readers and accountability partners, and to myself. There’s something about exposing a plan to sunlight that can’t be imitated, so here I am.

More directly, this is a place to house my musings. Thoughts on human nature, topics of the day, observations from writing my novels or projects – whatever jumps to the forefront and asks to be laid out on a page.

The modern era lionizes content as king; it doesn’t matter what you put out so long as you get something up early and often. Consistent. Bring those eyes back to the page every day, every hour, or lose standing. That’s not me. Never has been, never will be. I’m not built for that. What I am built for, or at least what this project is designed to help me achieve, is that focus on consistency. It’ll start slow, an article every two weeks, then gear up to one a week after a time and from there I’ll reevaluate.

The site itself will, of course, go through its fair share of changes. I’m banging this out pretty quickly, so it’s going to be rough around the edges for a while. Step one is exposure, remember? Let that daylight pour in and show the cracks. There’s a lot of room to grow, particularly once I’ve got real projects under my belt. But, I’ll have more on that in another article down the line.
