Of Course I Hear Voices: I Own Parrots

If I had to choose to be one kind of critic, it would have to be a film critic. I love books. I love to read and write; however, film would be my first choice . I love movies. I like looking at how the film was put together: the writing, the editing, the acting, the continuity etc. It is more of an obsession than it probably should be.

Some were a good fit at first, but things changed over time. They may have been a good place to get started and get experience, but I eventually out grew them. Other sites had so much potential, but they never went anywhere. Occasionally, I will find a site that works well for me. I have been lucky enough to find two recently. I think that both could be helpful for other bloggers, writers, photographers and other people who are looking for a fun way to express their creativity online.
