I Have Not Been Updating My Blog

Surprise, surprise.

Basically the only thing that will keep me updating regularly is likely to be a requirement of some kind that I do so. Something which actually applies on the TSTL blog-we're making sure everybody posts at least once a week. (And getting at least 500 views a week as a result...)

So who knows how often, or whether, I'll be updating this thing. The name's really dumb, which is another reason I usually don't. But whatever, I feel like basically any blog name is going to sound preposterous until you get a huge amount of readers.

Anyway, I'm now in a creative writing class, and have suddenly discovered that I am a big fan of writing and plan to do much more of it. Not for any particular reason, mostly just as an outlet. (That said, if somebody approached me with SIX ZILLIONS OF DOLLARS for a publishing deal... I'd consider it.) Fiction, mostly. Because I do not know how to write poetry effectively.

As a side note, I would like to comment that Neal Stephenson has a real knack for coming up with totally absurd details in his books. Such as the name of a metal band which figures in his novel Zodiac: "Pöyzen Böyzen." Quote from one of the characters: "Not bad for a two-umlaut band."
