2013: ‘Goals and Ambitions’ the Wakefield Doctrine (a) Year of Exploration, Illustration and Demonstration

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, the practice of scotts and the dogma of rogers )

Expect to see in the coming Year:

Video Fridays (the return of a much-loved and/or admired series) of video Posts  once a week…yeah, on Friday

  • it will be seen on Fridays as much as a bridge to the other venues ( talk radio and Saturday Night Drive)
  • return of the Interviews ( hey!  CyndiJanineJasmineRichard  my people will call your people)

the Wakefield Doctrine 30 Minute Radio on BlogTalkRadio: the results of all the effort being devoted to this project by the DownSprings and them is beginning to pay off! It is expected that within a month, 6 weeks at the most, the bugs and wrinkles will be ironed out (lol) and we will begin to aggressively promote this New Reader-friendly form of Wakefield Doctrine call in show

  • yes, the Show’s un-Official Sponsor is ‘the ‘tude’1, we just need to work on finding some music for ‘behind’ the commercial
  • by the 2nd Q we will look to expand the show to 60 minutes (which will include ‘regional report’ from Steve and Molly )2

(speaking of call-in shows) the Wakefield Doctrine Saturday Night Drive has been renewed for another Season! And….and!  it being the start of the preliminary to Summer, the Drives will be fun

  • the main Goal here is to encourage Readers to call in, as there seems to be some level of intimidation factor which we will be doubling our efforts to allay
  • we will get back to doing ‘live Drive’ videos for replay on SundayMornings

Wakefield Doctrine Fashion!  We will introduce a re-imagining of the wildly popular Wakefield Doctrine DocTee!  the primary improvement will be the addition of the name of the (Wearer’s) predominant worldview right on the damn sleeve! (no, you are right….it is hard to imagine how cooler we can get with this article of clothing.)

  • looking for feedback from wearers of DocTees as to improvements, i.e. colors and materials, pockets/no pockets that sort of thing
  • once we have a final design we will look to putting DocTees and Wakefield Doctrine hats (for your damn head) for sale ..somehow

The Continuing Story of ‘the Party at the Calypso Club‘ continues.  In a sense, as a 21st Century version of say, the Pickwick Papers or Madame Bovary, the storyline will be shaped, influenced and directed by the reactions and responses of the Readers.

  • the offer to ‘adopt a character’ is still open! will include a dramatis personae at the start of the next installment and if you feel like writing the character, let us know!
  • hey! there’s an idea!  Tee Shirts  Calypso Club  ‘I attended (imaginary) Jimmie’s (imaginary) Birthday disguised as….’

The non-fiction book the Wakefield Doctrine will be completed

A Road Trip is due in mid March  (for our newer Readers, at least once a year, a Road Trip is taken with the intent to claim some interesting part of the planet in the name of the Wakefield Doctrine ( by Right of Hat, of course!) It has been tradition to have a contest to find the best target for the Road Trip, this year will be no exception. Details to follow in the coming weeks.

(what ?  oh yeah…) And the Wakefield Doctrine’s Goal for the Year 2013 is to: increase  the readership, subscriptions and other manifestations (of the Wakefield Doctrine is spreading).

 

1)   Cyndi’s site pictimilitude.com, more precisely the zazzle ‘shop’ where she sells her photography based stuff

2)   if it’s possible to run ‘pre-recorded segments’ then we will be after Melanie and Michelle and Steve to do some ‘Doctrine ’round the World’ segments  more to follow (don’t worry, guys  …you’ll be great!)

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    Wow, it sounds like you have an exciting year lined up! Looking forward to reading more and seeing how it all takes shape. Best wishes for an awesome New Year!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Amy

      yeah, (I just read it too*) I better get going! same to you and your family, Amy

      *I would like to think that I am not the only one who, after writing a Post discovers something in it that either I had forgotten that I wrote or simply didn’t notice when writing…lol

  2. Sounds like you have a fun-filled and well planned out 2013 ahead. Loving the T-shirts for the party idea and oh not sure what kind of interview you were thinking, but I am always up for a challenge :) :) Happy New Year again Clark!!!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Janine

      …not as confident in the ‘well-planned part’ but fun, that is one of my NewRezes as to the Interview(s), I’ll do a Post about them with a sample interview from last year talk about how they are formatted… yeah, as a ‘challenge’ they are satisfying in being ‘new different’ but not stomach-ache/anxiety level challenges, a little scary but definitely in a ‘that was fun, I’m glad I did this‘ kind of way.

  3. Terrye says:

    Wow, you really have a lot of fun things planned for 2013! Looking forward to your interviews with some of my favorite bloggers! Wishing you much success and exciting times, Clark! :)

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Terrye

      yeah, I’m actually looking forward to the coming months, blogistically-speaking, (being a member) of your group is playing no small part in that felling too

  4. Emily says:

    Sounds like a great year planned for the doctrine…makes me realize I should really start making some goals of my own.:)

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Emily

      I thought about the idea of goals, and the thing that kinda surprises me is that as I look at what I have for goals, I didn’t go for the goals that I would have thought I would, but (as I sometimes say to clients) the process of a search often alters the thing that we are looking for (or something like that!)lol

  5. Cyndi says:

    You rock, Clark! Thanks for the shout-out. I’m definitely wanting to go far with writing/photography for sure. I’m going to do some teaching on the side, but still, it’s all going to be fun! Best wishes for a wildly successful 2013!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Cyndi

      thats a big 10 4 (don’t forget to give some thought to the commercial… anything you think I should mention specifically )

  6. Cyndi says:

    D’OH! I thought you were a mindreader. HAHA. The other day when I posted my photo video, I thought I must have mentioned it to you b/c you then talked about the commercial. Oops. Didn’t realize it was for THIS blog. HAHAHA.
    Um…commercial. Photos? Quotes? What’s yer need there?

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Cyndi

      Actually not for this blog… (enjoy the next few words, cause the reality sorta is less stupendous…lol) but, I do the Wakefield Doctrine 30 Minute Radio Hour every Wednesday at 4:00 and seeing how ‘if it’s a radio show, it got to be ‘brought to you by’ you know, a sponsor. So for the last few weeks I’ve been doing a (“so head on over to pictimilitude.com and be sure to tell ’em the Doctrine sent ya!”) commercial at the beginning of the show. Thats cool… (of course we have a Listener count best expressed with irrational numbers lol) but I thought, even if we get one person to cross over, why the hell not?

      So if you have any thoughts on the best way to describe whatcha got over there and like that, let me know should be fun

  7. Cyndi says:

    And music…um….music….welllllll….um….um….

  8. Hi Clark, excited about the upcoming events here and will be honored to do a round the world post for the doctrine on the happenings here in Singapore. Do let me know how you want to shape the perspective!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Michelle

      very cool! I think between the interviews and the 30 Minute Radio Hour… especially if I can get the delayed tape thing down, will work on it….stay tuned!

  9. Downspring#1 says:

    Can’t wait to go trans-atlantic again! the Wakefield Doctrine in action, in another time zone…fascinating!

  10. Exciting times ahead for the Wakefield Doctrine! Looking forward to reading more on ‘The Party at the Calypso Club‘ story, and I’d be thrilled to be a part of your round the world opinion interview! Thanks! :)

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Melanie

      Totally agree! working in the next installment of ‘the Party’ and working on hour to do interviews (either some form of pre-recorded or maybe a skyype thing..) in fact, I am doing a Post today that will give some examples of Wakefield Doctrine Video Interviews
