I've been meaning to do this for some time, but...you know.

Why am I doing this? Like other bloggers, I'm swollen with hubris. I also hope to accomplish some things. First, I would like to declutter my brain. If I can just get some of this stuff "out there," maybe I'll stop thinking about it so much. A dubious strategy, but for now, as they say at CENTCOM, I'm "on plan." Second, I'm a wannabe writer. Editing this blog will provide me with just the amount of reinforcement that I'm a writer while keeping me from being truly productive in that direction (e.g., my dissertation, sending that query letter, that sitcom spec script). This is Procrastinnation Nation after all.

Finally, I apologize in advance for violating any standards of blogiquette. Please do not invade me.

Sincerely,

Your fearless leader
