Friends are Electric

Since I have such inability to write anything of length with any frequency, and as of yet, at all, and since I often write incomplete ideas down, and since both Nietzsche’s Zarathustra and Comte de Lautréamont’s Les Chantes de Maldoror (both interesting works) use a short format, often a few paragraphs to pages, I have decided I shall do the same.  Not that I am pretending to belong to this tradition at all, but if they can do it, why can I not try?

I’ve added a section for reviews of culturally important materials.  Of course, its empty right now.  When I have the time I will digitise some of my older works and post them here, when I lose this writers block I’ll actually get to writing new stuff.  Hopefully I’ll have the time and inspiration to do it tomorrow, but I’m going to be realistic and promise nothing, since that way I can’t lie.

Nothing else new, really.  Still snowing here, which is wonderous.  When I remember to charge my camera I’ll even share pictures.

Started work on a collaborative screenplay with some friends of mine recently.  Details will be published as they are developed.  Writing for this site has been thoroughly writer’s blocked though.  Hopefully soon, but no promises.

I hope to write all my stories in the same world.  The idea of really developing a world appeals to me greatly.  So, while this might not seem all that innovative, I hope to write about a dystopian city.  Not futuristic in general, but I love science fiction too much to totally ignore it.  I’d also like to explore old style fairy tales and write them in this world.  Not the ones which we were really familiar with as children, but their true versions.  (See: The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter for a really general idea of what I want to do).

The city in question is The Old City.  The first adaptation I want to attempt is the story of Tamlin.

The site is alive, not quite as undead as it once was.  Which is nice.  Over the next while stuff shall be added as I see fit.  The idea of this place is for my writings, which I would like to do more of again, since I stopped a few years ago.  We shall see how this goes.
