Writing Posted...

I posted a non-fiction account of an experience I had a few years ago. I don't normally dabble in non-fiction, but this time I needed to document my time on a short lived reality TV show called No Opportunity Wasted.

I wrote the story when I returned home from filming. It was my experience on the show that gave me the drive to pursue writing in the first place. I guess it makes sense I share this story first!

The story takes you through the day I found out about the show and applied for it, all the way to my return home after filming. In all, it was quite the adventure!

Day 1 of blogging

Okay...I think I've set up this Blog thing to a functional level. In the next day or so I will post some writing for the critics!

6 weeks until the Surrey International Writers Conference! I have so much to do between now and then.

I wonder how well I will mesh with that crowd...this is all new to me!

Hans Zimmer - Chevaliers de Sangreal

Something about this piece of music I really enjoy...I think I connect with it because I am searching for truth in my own life and I think that's the point of the music...looking for something.

An introduction...

I've never been a fan of blogs, or personal websites. Frankly I never thought my life was that exciting that others would want to read about me. Then it occurred to me...don't read about me, just read what I write, and take from it what you will.

I enjoy writing, but until recently I have kept my work to myself. Those who I have shared my work with, on the whole, have enjoyed it. My work is meant to entertain. Are there life lessons hidden in the work? Only the reader can say.

I know what I meant and I meant what I wrote...no doubt someone will reinterpret my work in some twisted bizarre fashion. I admit, I am stubborn. My writing can and will piss you off at times. I explore the darker elements of humanity and I don't like to sugar coat things.

I am a believer in provocation. Only through provocation can we elicit a genuine response.

I am not a fan of political correctness. Changing terminology to be polite is self defeating, eventually the new terminology becomes rude and demeaning as well.  Language evolves over time; it should not be forced.

And finally, the world is naive.
