Who introduced you to LiveJournal? Why did you first open an account or get involved?

 The Talented Mr. Greg Herren has a blog called Queer and Loathing in America. In addition to juggling two mystery series at competing publishers, assisting his partner Paul with the running of the Saints and Sinners Literary Festival in New Orleans, and editing various anthologies, Greg was the editor who acquisitioned THE MASTER OF SEACLIFF for now-defunct Haworth Press, a deal made over strong vodka/cranberrys at the Bourbon Pub in 2004.  I generally find blogs dull, so I make sure mine is as bland as pablum (at least under this moniker) so as not to compete, and reinforcing the stereotype of the tormented creative.  I also like these questions, when they're not stupid. And I still don't believe in writer's block....but very much in procrastination.

However, I'm subscribing to the philosophy that 'any writing' for me these days is better than none at all, and as I plod forward on SOUTHERN GOTHIC, attempt to muster courage to revise AT THE CROSSROADS, and start or complete about three other projects also, at least I can wallow here: but never in self-pity. 

I don't post regularly, but when I do, I hope it's 'cherce'.
