Forthcoming

Hello All (2 of you):

I honestly can't contain the excitement growing in my cells for what I'm about ready to announce. I've documented in recent weeks my strong desire to return to the days of explosive waves of creativity. As a matter of fact, I don't even remember the last time I felt I had any of those aforementioned waves. Simply put, I've been uninspired. However, as I slowly work my way out of the abyss, I'm starting to become inspired again on the blogging front. Aided by Ashley's aptly-timed recommendation of the Artist's Way, my longing to write is returning to my soul. In order to facilitate this, I decided to make some changes with respect to Bring D.A. Noise.

On Monday, with freshly acquired funds, I acquired a new domain, with the intent to return to using WordPress. With WordPress, I'm allowed more flexibility in the design and layout of my blog. Since I'm not well-versed on HTML, XHTML, and CSS, web design is an elusive concept. Up to this point, this made me apprehensive about creating my own website. But, on the other hand, I like having the ability to categorize my blog entries for easier searching capabilities and organization. Also, there are way more templates and themes to choose from for layout.

Have no fear, though. Bring D.A. Noise on Blogger won't be going away. The plan is to use this present site as an archive of previous blog entries from various sites, including entries all the way back to the days of LiveJournal. The focus points for most of D.A. Noise's energies pertain to musings on various subjects dealing with current events (from the worlds of entertainment, politics, and pop culture, although the lines for all three now blur together.) Besides this, D.A. Noise will document my study of the principles discussed in The Artist's Way. With that, I will write a summary of each week's topics as well as work my way through the activities at the end of each chapter. I sincerely hope that this does not bore anyone. Worse case, boredom ensues for approximately 12 weeks.

Now, I come to the new and (hopefully) exciting part. Besides Bring D.A. Noise, I've decided to create a new blog by way of the almighty WordPress. One of the main ideas behind the new blog is to create an outlet for documenting my creative output that may ensue as the creative blockage dissipitates. Another purpose of the new blog is to document the exploration of new and innovative music that inspires me to create in the first place. In the last ten or so years, I've developed an interest in challenging experimental and unconventional music, which I've always wanted to explore more and document the exploration along the way. Hopefully, new opportunities and sources of inspiration will develop by way of the new blog.

*Please note the clue in the next paragraph as to the name of the new blog in Boldface*

To start out with, the focus of the website is solely on the blog. During this time, I plan to use a pre-created theme for the layout. As I become more familiar with the WordPress blogging program, a new layout will be created and the blog will become a full-scale website. In the future, I hope to have interviews with influences as well as the documentation of creative works in progress. In the end, this website will be the impetus for commencing work on my proposed first collection of writings with the working title Isolationism. I'm not quite ready to announce the address of the site as of yet, as I want to input links and post categories, along with creating a profile of myself. I hope to present the link to the new site in the next few days.

That's all for now. As always, stay tuned!
