August Update

As you all might have noticed, there’s been an a lull for a few months and now an uptick in activity here at Cheap Date Ideas.  The reason for this is that while the website is my “baby”, I had other priorities that I needed to tend to like school and had a recent change in my life where me and my now ex-girlfriend have parted ways amicably.

Now that I’m single and have all this time I have on my hands,  I’m able to devote more of my time to my passions in exploring personal development on my other blog, public speaking , improv , drinking tea , and of course, writing articles and sharing Cheap Date Ideas with all of you.

Currently, I’m making a conscious effort to take my writing a lot more seriously.  I want to engage you by not just having “cool cheap date ideas” on the website.  It’s deeper than that.  I want to capture your attention and keep you in the feeling of the topic I’m writing about.  I want to leave you with the feeling of reflecting on the topic in a way you might have not thought about before and compel you to action to improve your dating life or relationship – not through high level theory, but in simple and practical terms.  I realize that this will be challenging, as I’m not a “born writer”, but I’m committed to learning this and taking the steps to deliver higher quality content (without any grammatical errors, heh)

Right now, I’m reading  Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg as well as Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss (both books who were recommend by the Twitter community and friends) to tighten up my writing and grammar to express myself with more clarity.

If you have any comments, suggestions for improvement, I’m open to constructive criticism :)   Also, I’m also opening the opportunity for people who want to be contributing writers for the website.  If you’re interested in writing about the topic of dating, charisma and social dynamics or you’re great at coming up with or finding cheap date ideas, fire off an email to me at cheapdateideas (at) gmail dot com.

Oh yeah, I’m always feverishly researching and writing, so @ reply me on twitter on @cheapdateideas to keep me sane ;)

Cheers,

Will :)
