My friends have been doing this, so I figured, why not me? I don't really care about followers or anything like that but, as Katherine said, it's a cool creative outlet and maybe it'll get me past some writer's block. I need to start a diary anyway.
Thanks, Katie. You I love.
Um um um...
Oh! I was gonna explain the title of the blog and the address. See, I've been re-reading Clive Barker's Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War for the millionth time. It's my all time favorite book (beats out even Harry Potter, House of Leaves and Riddles of Epsilon) and so when I was trying to quickly think of a title, of course a poem from Abarat came to mind. Its first line is "Do not blame the wind" and goes on to talk about how the wind is just bringing along whatever noises are on it, be them messages of love or war. A sort of don't kill the messenger story. And the Babilonium, from the address bar, that's the name of an island in the book, the carnival island. But the name reminds me of babbling, which is what I'll be doing here. So I used it.
Thanks for being a freakin genius, Clive Barker. I love your work.
So. That's all for now. There's my reason for starting this thing (everyone ELSE is jumping off the bridge) and there's the explanation behind the title.
And that's all for now. No deep thoughts to leave you with, except "Do not blame the wind."
