Pseudonym-pending

Hey there. As is true with most blogs, this one was started late at night / early one morning when I was too restless to do something productive but also too bored to do something useful.

The situation is that I am a writer, you have stumbled upon a writer’s blog, and against my better judgement I am going to spend a lot of time talking about writing. I don’t like talking about writing because I am conscious of the sheer boredom it must involve for the listener and reader. No one should care as to what I have to say because I am unpublished (that will change one day) and thus I shouldn’t know enough to talk about it. It’s like an engineering student talking about life as an engineer without any real experience doing it. I am also bored to death by most other writers talking about writing, because everyone has a different point of view and what works for one person does not work for everyone. But who cares, because I feel like sharing the joys and misery of working in a tiny room with only myself as company.

Oh, just in case anyone in the future tells me that I’ve sold out: I totally have. If anyone is willing to pay me millions of dollars so that I can sit in a quiet little room, pace around for a few hours a day and then hammer out one crapola piece of fluff after the next, then I’m your man. I promise that I will use that money to buy nice things for myself that I don’t need and once in a while I will tell someone that they can keep the change as my charitable deed.

As for the name of the blog, I’m going with pseudonym-pending, because I thought it was hysterically brilliant considering how early into the morning it is, and also because I am seriously in need of a pseudonym for when I get published. I have a list of first and last names that I like and the various combinations of those, but nothing grabs me. I’m not going with my real name because it isn’t easy to pronounce, or spell, or remember, and because I want to feel like I’m Batman. And did you know that princes and princesses can change their name when they become kings and queens?

Also tell someone in the future that I want to be knighted. And that I want my own batmobile.
