This is most definitely NOT the way to do it! If you had an S-Corp, you could do it this way, but I know for certain it isn't appropriate for a C-Corp and I suspect the same holds true for an LLC.
A payroll service like ADP is probably also not appropriate given the inconsistent income. Have you considered hiring a part-time bookkeeper/accountant to process payrolls for you on an infrequent basis?
You are not your company - you are an employee. Expensing salary is gonna get you in trouble. I think it will be classified as a loan to officer and something that needs to be paid back (unless you've contributed capital to the company already, in which case they are paying you back).
Google for accountants from your home state and reach out to them.
Transferring money from biz account to personal account, and vice-versa is a bad idea for reasons other than taxation. It destroys the validity of your company and can expose you to individual liability which is exactly what you are trying to avoid by having a company formed in the first place.
