I’m a Blogger | Ian Scott Paterson
- What is your name? Ian Scott Paterson
- What is your blog’s title and URL? Ian Scott Paterson – The Year of Betterment: http://www.ianscottpaterson.wordpress.com
- What is your blog about? Currently I’m blogging my way through my year long experiment of using 2010 to better myself by doing (or not doing) things that I have personal discomfort from due to past life experiences or general personal biases.
- Why did you start blogging? 2007
- What’s your favorite Springfield restaurant? Riad’s
- What’s your full-time job? Starbucks Barista
- What else do you do for fun? Geocaching, Beer Drinking, Watching Movies, Reading, etc.
- What words of blogging wisdom would you like to share with your fellow bloggers? If you want your blog to go anywhere at all, start by getting a twitter account and publishing updates through there. Social Media is the most necessary evil we writers face today.
- What’s been your biggest blogging success? The Year of Betterment is generating the most traffic I’ve had to date. And it keeps going up.
- What’s your favorite local blog? Why? Heady (Ir)Reverence by Matt Gallion is one of the most though-provoking blogs I read period. It’s just an added special bonus that he’s also a blogger from right here in Springfield.

Meet Us!
We meet the second Monday of the month at the Farmer's Gastropub in Springfield at 7 PM. If the weather's nice, we'll likely be on the patio!
