Televisionary Turns Ten: A Look Back

Ten years ago today, I decided to start a television blog. 

That choice was both a capricious whim and an intense need to find creative fulfillment in my professional life. I was working in television development at the time and wanted a way to offer commentary on the shows I was watching and the trends that I was noticing at play within the industry. It was a secret endeavor at first. I posted for a few weeks without telling anyone and then, slowly, began mentioning it to some incredibly supportive friends and people around me. It was a side project, something that was solely mine.

And then Televisionary took on a life of its own and pushed my life and career into some very unexpected and amazing directions. I could never have predicted 10 years ago the places to which that one single decision has lead, including a major career shift. In that time, I've written for some formidable outlets and interviewed some incredible people. I've broken news, reported, recapped, edited, and written criticism and profiles. I've had the pleasure of working with some amazing colleagues and peers and have fulfilled a lot of my own personal goals along the way. I'm incredibly proud of what I accomplished both with Televisionary and with the other professional endeavors I embarked on in the time since then. 

A decade ago, I sat down in front of a computer screen and began a story that has taken me here, to today and to an industry and a media culture that is now vastly different. It feels as though a long chapter has come to an end, although I'm excited to see what's next for me, for the media, and for television as a whole. 

Thanks, as always, for reading.
