For anyone who discovers this blog by accident (I can see no other way of it happening), welcome to it. It derives its title from the fact that it is written by a broad-spectrum lunatic that freely roams society.
That’s right people – I’m unbalanced, unhinged, demented. I’m delirious with joy one minute and then swinging precariously low on the emotional totem pole the next. I’ll lie on the floor and weep copiously over a life not worth living and then in an instant find several reasons for wanting to remain on this good green Earth. I’ll stand firm on an issue only to find myself changing my mind unexpectedly. I am beautiful but I consistently doubt and criticize my physical appearance. I worry constantly about things great and small – I’m a dynamic and expert architect of mountains from anthills. Sometimes I think I need professional help and then laugh maniacally at the image of my reclined body and clasped hands on a shrink’s settee.
But I’m not the only one. If you are reading this, you’re a broad-spectrum lunatic too. We all are in our own special way and we all function with this madman/madwoman lurking in the background just waiting for the right moment to spring from us Athena-like and wreak havoc on jobs and/or personal relationships. Some keep that salacious and dodgy monster locked up tighter than others but I prefer to let mine out of its restrictive cage every now and then. I’ve come to realize that it is an essential part of my artistic self, that it needs room to breathe. If I dare to prolong its confinement, it stands firm with the threat of cutting me off from the sweet and blissful air that is in such grand supply to everyone else.
This blog is also a forum for critique of film and literature. I so enjoy books and movies and love giving my opinion on my latest findings, both positive and negative.
Moreover, it is a day-in-the-life exposition of a homebody who longs for excitement, challenge and change.
Welcome to my world. Sit down. Dream. Ruminate. Or…machinate.
This is Lunatic Scrawl.

You are an honest woman S. C. Schell and I love honest people. Furthermore, I enjoy your writing. Now, where is that novel? An old teacher would like to read it. ;-)
Well, a nice beginning. Self-deprecating and self-congratulatory in the same paragraph. Don't apologize for putting on paper (or blog) what most would find difficult, or would be afraid to describe. We all have that id, which sometimes balances on a single experience in life. Keep that positive karma and sense of humor going, even when you are questioning motives, beliefs and the status quo. Remember, this is your viewpoint, and there are so many others, that can be just as valid and interesting. ;-)
