Happy Birthday to Me! Well...sorta...

Hey, folks. Thanks for checking out my LiveJournal and Blogger accounts and welcome, one and all!

And no, it's not MY birthday, but it IS the birth date of my new blog and that's something for me to celebrate, right?

Since you're here I'm assuming it's because you saw the link I posted on Facebook or Twitter and decided to follow it over here and see what I'm up to this time. In my book that means you're curious, so I say “Congratulations!” to you because curiosity is indeed a sign of intelligence, or at least that's what I've been told. Come to think of it, it's also a quality often attributed to cats of the formerly-living variety too, though, but I'll assume my deceased-felines-come-back-from-the-dead readership is a relatively low one; it is called LIVEJournal (unless you're seeing the Blogger version), after all. But if I'm wrong then I guess I owe many a zombie kitty a thorough and heartfelt apology; it's not my intent to discriminate. Here's a zombie mouse for your troubles.

So, as I was saying, you may be wondering what exactly I'm up to over here at LiveJournal. And that is quite assuredly, WITHOUT A DOUBT a most reasonable question, yes siree. Indeed it is. In fact, it is SUCH a reasonable question that I truly wish I had a definite answer for you, but the truth of the matter is I honestly don't. Not at this point, at least.

Now please keep in mind that the key word in all that was “EXACTLY"; that's not to say I don't have some vague little plan in mind as to what I'll be doing with this site and where I'll be taking you fine, fine folks, but I want to keep it a little experimental and play it by ear, as it were. Hey, I've never done this before so work with me here. Besides, it adds an air of mystery if I keep it vague, right? And who doesn't love a mystery. But if you're going to press me to share some of what you'll most likely be seeing here-and you will I can just tell-then I'll say this: I'll probably mix it up a little here and there and see what works best. At present I plan to have some general blogs involving an unsolicited and, preferably, none-too-idiotic opinion or two, but I'll try my best not to slip into a full-on, foaming-at-the-mouth, complete and total rant. I'll also work in some movie reviews and probably some book reviews as well. I'll share some things about my experiences involving the day-to-day fun of trying to get established as a professional writer and I just might even do an interview here and there with friends and acquaintances in the writing and film world.

As to my current scheduling plans for posting new blogs? My intention is to have a new one up every Monday morning so we'll see how that works. Again, nothing is carved in stone.

Oh, and as to the name? Hmm...no clue, but I'm open to suggestions so if you have any ideas shoot me a message or leave me a comment. “Confessions of a Crazed Insomniac”? Maybe? Or not.

So, yeah. That's it for now. Where's the off switch on this thing?
