First post

posted in Off-topic |

That is it. First post here. I made the transition from my old, wordpress.com hosted blog “The Gravel Pit” to the new, Fantasybookspot.com hosted blog “Count Zero”. It has been a while since I posted anything on either blog, but I am starting to get back in the groove. I left the old The Gravel Pit to start fresh all over again. Why you ask? Mainly because I wasn’t satisfied the direction my old blog was taking. Also, I was starting to get a little bit fed up with the limitations of having a blog on wordpress.com So when Damon offered the chance to blog under the FBS umbrella, I jumped ship and the result is in front of you.

So who the hell is this Lawrence guy anyway? There is not much to it, to be honest. I am just a fan of speculative fiction (Science Fiction and Fantasy mostly) and I like to write about that passion. I like to share to my thoughts on the books I read. The “sharing” aspect usually manifests itself in form of reviews I write for Fantasybookspot and write for my blog when the book has already been review on FBS. Please refer to the index of reviews to get an idea of what I’ve reviewed in the past.

When I’m not reading SF, I tend to keep myself busy with plenty of other stuff. Hanging around with friends, shooting pool, watching movies, listening to music, cycling on my brand new racing bicycle, playing tennis - and partying, especially since I graduated a short while ago from what Americans would call high school or “secondary education”. I do have a lot of free time on my hands. I can’t however promise to blog every day - I am kind of fickle when it comes to blogging, I blog when the moods suits me (and I feel I have something interesting to tell) but I’ll try to update as often as I can. Any more questions? Feel free to ask them in the comments section.

For those who made the transition from the old Gravel Pit to this blog, what do you think of the new theme?

I hope you stick around.

    I really like the theme, especially the big ole rss feed button, thats just neat. It took a while but I think we got a theme that fits now.

    The text is kinda light for us old people to read. Darken it up some?

    Also wanted you to know the new Robert Crais book is out. I don’t see it on the sidebar here, so figured you probably didn’t know about it yet.

    :)

    Well, that name is a bit hard to read, but outside of that, the color shades are fine (I hate dark backgrounds). I’ll add you to the Blogroll in a bit.
