Lets get interesting!

Right!
So now all the mandatory "Who are you and what do you do?" Is out of the way I can really get started on blogging!

I must first say I don't really know what is going to become of it, I mean I have done this before but have I ever carried it out? No. So lets see if I can really get a blog underway. One thing I will try not to do is force it, I would hate for you to be searching across profiles, find mine, and thing 'Well damn, this guy is boring' just because I am forcing myself to type something each and every day!

The format I thought I would use is pretty standard, your every day blog, which random thoughts and musings on the day, but then I started to consider something bigger. At least once a week I will post a 'Today I have been thinking about...' with a subject. It could be a broad subject, 'Global Economics', or it could be something smaller that really doesn't matter, 'Toothbrushes', all of this depending on my inspiration and what I have actually been thinking about. Whether this will actually work and I will be able to come out with decent enough topics for you to read will reveal itself someday. Perhaps it will allow you further into my head to see how I think about things.

Ok, so in my First Blog I did a "Who?", It seems rational to follow it with a "What?" "When?" "How?" or "Why?"

What?
A Blog!
When?
Now!
How?
Blogger.com!
Why?
Well...

Why is a bigger question. Why Blog? because, as I feel it is about time I put together some inspiration and motivation. I am in Uni, this is no time to start slacking as I could fail, or worse, spend years there for it to not actually result in anything. This would be BAD. Also, I should really start writing again, its my passion, and I am always thinking up new ideas, new plots, new characters, or rethinking old plans. This needs to be down on paper, whether people like it or not. I need it out my head for the world to see! So I figured if I started to Blog, I would get into the mood of writing more often and may start to spend more time writing. Lets kick start my motivation!

Why Clockwork Musings? This is more to do with my writing. Before starting a blog I had a brief, very brief, think about what I should call my Blog. I needed something that would apply to me. I use the name 'DeusExMachina' on the internet, so I thought maybe something about Machines? And It was going to be about my thoughts... Well people always say 'You can see the cogs turning' when someone is thinking. Cogs, Machines, Thoughts. Cogs come from Clockwork, but Clockwork Thoughts doesn't roll of the the tongue like it should, Clockwork Musings, musings being thoughts and ideas, is, in my opinion, far better. I think what I also liked about the name was the oxymoron between the strict and timed nature of Clockwork and the lucidity of 'musing'. I also seem to attract Clockwork whenever I write. In my stories I like to write about inventions being Clockwork powered, I think its far more interesting and fantastical then just using magic, or present day technology. Clockwork. It has a magic of its own.

So there we have it. Thats your What, When, How and Why!
