Introduction

the title is not only misleading, it's ironic as hell, because by this time next month, it'll be at the bottom of the page. But what the hell, the readers need to know whose blog it is they're reading.

I'm a blogger, and that's about all you need to know. I'm a writer, of sort. It's true that anyone can call himself a writer just because he has written something for the life of him. But, even when I haven't published anything yet, I look to write professional as a novelist. So what do I write about? Anything that crosses my mind and makes a lasting impression. Sometimes that anything is quite inflammatory because of the nature of my belief. Sometimes it's quite shocking due to the nature of my research for my writing. Sometimes it's just plain out full of shit.

So why starting a blog? Because I'm bored(?) That should be enough an answer in and of itself if you know me personally. There is a good chance that I won't keep this up for very long. But isn't everything else? Shall we make this enjoyable while it last?

I read. I read a whole lot. It's part of the research process. I have to know what concept of mine is actually original before putting more time and effort into expanding said concept into somewhat readable and comprehensible piece of prose. That including character development, theories and the whole nine yards. So, what do I read? Everything under the sun that has the capability to hold my interest more than 24 hours, because that's the usual amount of time I need to finish a book, cover to cover. Then there are books that directly related to current projects. Then there are books I read just out of interest. I did say I read a lot, didn't I?

And that's all you need to know about me. For now.
