Ethereal...why?

I set this blog thingy up today, and from the lovely selection on offer I chose 'Ethereal' as my background.  What that says about me, I'm not sure.  Do I want my writing to be seen as 'ethereal'?  'Extremely delicate and refined' is how the dictionary describes it (and yes, I did know what the word meant before I looked it up - what sort of a pretend writer would I be if I didn't?)

So yes...alright, that'll do for starters.  I don't mind people thinking of my writing as 'extremely delicate and refined'.  That's if anybody ever reads it.  'Nina's Witterings' isn't exactly a title that draws the eye excitedly to what's coming next, is it?  In fact it reads and sounds more like something a weary nurse might scribble on a patient chart at a mental hospital.  But hey, if I want to be a writer then I've got to write things.  Writing novels are great, but you do need the stream-of-consciousness stuff too sometimes.  Which is I guess what this blog will be for.  I won't blog about anything in particular, just things that occur to me every now and again.  And I will write, as the majority of writers tend to do, as though I had an audience of people who are actually interested in what I have to say, regardless of whether or not that actually turns out to be the case.

(Deep breath)  Ready, set, GO!

ADDENDUM: this blog is now called 'Fake Blonde Procrastinator.  For obvious reasons.
