Working Things Through
I’m still trying to come up with a witty and appropriate title for a writing blog, but wouldn’t you know I have “writer’s block”. I thought about making that the title — but I don’t want to jinx myself any further.
I got the idea of using “Cat Among the Pigeons” but I don’t know that that’s really appropriate either. When I tried to do a “writing blog” before I had used “Ergo Writing” but naming the blog that feels like naming a ship the “Titanic”; it didn’t have good luck the first time why chance it again?
I wound up getting hung up on the space-y theme for the layout. All the rotating pictures are ones I made myself in Photoshop using brushes from Obsidian Dawn‘s website. I do write a lot of science-fiction and fantasy based things so perhaps I’ll do something tied in with that.
“They Came from Outer Space…” it reminds me of the old B movies my husband and his father love to watch which I generally dislike because they’re so cliche–at the same time that’s a good reminder of how I don’t want to be–what I’m striving to move beyond, and yet at the same time honor because without things like “Attack of the 50 foot woman” or even the old “Star Trek” series (which has it’s cheesy cliche moments) we wouldn’t have the opportunities we have today in sci-fi those shows and movies paved the way and gave us some thing to dream about and strive towards. It was picking apart “Star Trek” which gave me the ideas of “Condor” which I started writing when I was 12 and intend to get finished now that I have a bit more world experience.
I’m going to give myself until this time tomorrow to get the title of this blog sorted out. If I’m going to write here, it needs to have a title. I’ve had too many blogs that are named for their domain and I really don’t like doing that. Titles are important. I wouldn’t be calling my first novel “Book About Spaceships”.
