I’ve been planning to launch my own website for quite some time but just never really had the time to do it. I’ve attempted to created several blogs several times over the years but have since abandoned most of them. It’s mostly because life just gets in the way but this time will be different. The sites and blogs I’ve done in the past were always about something I’m interested in but I never had one that is about me. So that’s how PeterKLam.com came about.
I really wanted to have the domain PeterLam.com but somebody already bought that domain. I was pissed because I went to that site and found that there was absolutely nothing on there. It’s like a placeholder. I didn’t bother emailing the owner and trying to buy it off of them. With the economy as it is, I’m sure the owner of that domain would attempt to sell it to me for an outrageous price. So I had to settle for PeterKLam.com
In an effort to get my name out there about my creative writing and internet marketing skills, I’m going to have to SEO “Peter K. Lam” now so that people can find me. I was thinking that maybe “P.K. Lam” would be better but I reminded me too much of “R.L. Stine” whom I no longer enjoy as a writer. Plus Peter K. Lam will make me appear more like a person and not just somebody with a pen name.
I decided to name my new site “Simply Everything” because… well… it’ll be about simply everything! I have many interests and I write about so many things from commentary on television to opinion pieces to just plain rants/ramblings. I’ve dipped my hands into so many different facets of the world that I have gain such a variety of skills that I felt “Simply Everything” truly sums up what I’m about. I had a bunch of other possible titles I was toying with but none of them really made sense for me. “Simply Everything” was the best and most interesting name for my new site.
So over the next few days I’ll be looking over my fiction work and see what I should publish on here to populate the site. I have a lot of fiction but a lot of it was written so long ago that it may need heavy editing. LOL!! Oh well, some of the better stuff from recent years will probably be good to go up whenever I’m ready.
I hope that next week I’ll be able to start working on HaloCityTribune.com which will be a fictional online publication. It’s based off some old comedy pieces I used to do as a kid. I recently found hard copies of my hand-written, self-published comedy magazine which was what inspired me to start the new website. I haven’t written for a long time so this will definitely be a good way for me to get back into the groove of things.
