Thinking cap on then; what is a suitable name for the blog?
Not much point using my own name if I'm going to protect my address, and anyhow it has already gone to a photographer in Georgia.
The next choice is whether to use a generic or specific name. As the blog is going to be a selection of random thoughts (aka drivel) non-specific is a given.
All good so far, but at this point the horror of writing stories in English lessons looms up from the past as I am presented with a blank sheet of paper. Hmm, back to the internet for inspiration.
It appears that there are several ways to approach this, making a word up, jamming two words together to make a domain name, or adding a suffix, prefix or preposition to a name to make it registerable when the base word has already been nabbed. It would be preferable if the name could have some significance even if only for aesthetic reasons so I think nonsense is out (apologies to Lear). More staring at blank page and pencil sharpening…
Then something filtered back from a distant recess of my memory. I remembered reading an article in which the author related the view of a more famous author who described his stream of consciousness as like a reel of film playing out onto the inside of his cranium to an audience of only himself. That sounds about right.
So skullcinema it is.
Decision made it is time to work back up the path and get on-line.
