Blogging is addictive

I already have many other blogs (at LiveJournal, Blogger and Wordpress) but actually learning about blogging and writing for online media made me want to create this one blog to combine all the old blogs (they were all slightly different in character). At the moment I want this blog to stand alone but later on I will recycle some old blog material, link back to them and such. This blog will include a mix of various things such as reading and editing exercises, reviews, etc.

I wanted this blog to look pretty so I downloaded this free blog template to use. At the moment I haven't added my personal customisations so none of the links work (so this blog is under construction), but once I have some more free time I'll be adding my own personal touch.

The title of this blog is Quillazy. Because blogger is old and basically every blog address anyone could ever think up was already taken, I had to get creative. Several different phrases and combinations of words such as 'lazy-procrastinator', 'dilly-daily', 'dailyprocrastinator', 'lazyquill' etc were all already taken and also had existing online presence through Facebook and whatnot.

For example, I had thought 'The Lazy Quill' was a cool title for a blog but not only was the blog address taken as I already mentioned, a quick Google search revealed that it was the name of an apartment in the UK. But I was already stuck on the words 'lazy' and 'quill' by then and no other names satisfied me after that. So what did I do? I combined the words to make a new word 'Quillazy' which looks and sounds interesting.

The title of the blog will probably remain 'Quillazy' for a long while to come but my pen name will likely change in the future. I wanted a fresh start to blogging and so wanted to change the name but didn't know what to change it to, so chose Pink Rabbit just for the moment. There's actually a story behind the name Pink Rabbit and I'll probably write about that in another post.
