Got a comment on my webpage in Spanish, which I do not understand... but my webmaster tried to translate it for me, turns out he doesn't speak Spanish either. at any rate, it may seem that someone thinks I have issues with God or depression or both and to that I can answer NO! I actually don't have issues with either one of those things, I am not depressed and I am not angry at God because I don't believe there is one true god. I think the whole thought of it is bollix and ridiculous. I was born and raised Irish Catholic so I have plenty of first hand knowledge when it comes to religion.

I believe that people throughout time have needed something bigger than themselves to believe in and fear and blame instead of taking the responsibility of the earth actually being in their hands. Molecules, atoms, the building blocks of our existence, evolution, birth, death, natural disaster... Trying to tell me that any natural disaster is Gods punishment is useless. The earth is pissed off because we keep building and spoiling and destroying our home that is slowly but surely becoming unsafe for humans seeing as we are in fact frail beings of immense intellect that we just don't fucking use.

My writings are not about religion or Christianity or any of that non sense, but the fact that some of these questions come up in my stories are inevitable. They are my stories, so obviously they must obtain my views and my criticism towards whatever I am writing about...but I have no anger or issues with god or whatever one chooses to call it...I simply just don't believe something because it's written in a book, that's been rewritten a dozen times by man.

I just wrote quite a long story about a woman who saves her family by letting her husband accuse her of being a witch. I follow her from the decision is made until she is burnt at the stake. It will hit my webpage by Sunday!

Now today something really fucked up happened, and whenever I feel anger I don't take it out on other people or go into a spiral of aggression. Oh no, I write. So tonight I've written four new stories. I've written a part two of Hit my head and died, doesn't seem like a story that has room for a part two... but trust me. There really was more to share there! Besides I really like that story, and it was fantastic for my creative side to write more and make a proper ending... as if I make proper endings... but yeah, it's an ending at least. Not sure if I should post it on my site, if anyone remembers it or if I should stick that one in my book too. 




Be Safe,

Hello again!
I feel a bit stuck lately... I've been writing a lot but I feel myself going very political and I figure it may provoke some people who read it. So a part of me is thinking "fucking publish it! it's your mind! it's your voice, your forum" then another part of me is thinking that maybe I should keep my pages clean of political views... THEN at the same time tho' I've already dabbled a tad into religion. If I stick my little toe into the waters of religion can I not try to make the waters seem inviting for my big toe with some politics?

Mr. Reaperman is actually a story I was saving for my upcoming book of tragic tales. I've decided to publish it on my author page nonetheless. Personally I really like this story. I've refused to over romanticise it...let me try to explain... 
In my understanding a Reaper(man) has always been the bringer of death and the taker of souls, hence forth in my imagination there is no way a mere human would or could make either of them act dramatically enough to risk their occupation which also is the reason for their existence. 


The idea of a Reaper(man) (imaginary of course...) falling in love is not far fetched for me as they have their own personalities and minds, but the idea of a Reaper(man) breaking every law that binds them to the universes and allows them to fulfill their duty and the task of their entire species only to keep love? No... I just can't go that way with it. Well...not yet of course. I have left the story open enough for my readers (Haha if I actually HAVE any) to expect another Reaperman story sometime in the future. 


Thank you for reading my ramblings! Hope you've read the story, this may have made more sense if you did. 


Be safe!

Ed Gein inspired horror story is in the making! Figured out that in order to meet the deadline I put up for myself I needed to force some inspiration. So I sat down in my favouite cafe in Bergen and stared at the wall for about five minutes with a fresh cup of java in hand. Suddenly an image appeared in my head, my hand reached for my pen and out of the blue a short story just flowed out of me. The only issue is that this short story is another horror story, much darker than the bloodthirsty tragic tale of Winfred The Teddy and might not be suitable for my author page. Having my self publishing deal wish amazon.com fresh in my mind and still in need of 12 pages to reach the 24 page limit I figure I will save this Ed Gein inspired horror story for my book. Still need inspiration and creativity to publish another short story tho'. Wonder were my mind will take me when nightfall comes, I have a cup of tea in hand and my pen near by. Will be an INTERESTING night! 

See you on the dark side, reader!

I fell asleep way too early, then woke up after two hours. Wide awake. I had some strange dreams, writing fantasy/fiction and horror stories seem to be taking their toll on my mind. I'm not complaining, I love writing. Not sure how I feel about killing off some of my favourite characters though. Maybe I should do something about that... I can always write more about them later, I do enjoy writing about ghosts!


Just wrote about 5 pages in three hours. That's not bad, I think. I'm working towards publishing a book and for that I need at least 24 pages! woah! Will have to work overtime in the creative department.


Wish me luck!

I was out and about last night, supposed to go out for a coffee but ended up with a beer in my hand at the Studentpub in Bergen, Norway called Kvarteret. In the café there was a poetry reading and usually I wouldn't sit and listen because I find it extremely pretentious but then my webmaster had an idea of me going up to the mic and reading one of my darkest stories just to give them a theoretical kick in the nuts. Then for the first time I noticed a bit of stage fright. Which seems ridiculous as I am often on stage talking seeing as I am one of the two founders of Dr.Sketchy's Anti-Art School (which is a burlesque art session where anyone above 20 years old can bring drawing/painting/sketching equipment and draw live models. We have a session every-other month in Garage) in Bergen! Then it dawned on me that when it comes to my own writings I am very shy... I need to work on that so I have given myself the task of "crashing" a pretentious student poetry reading the next time I have a chance to. Which wont be a problem because I do bring my notebook everywhere I go just incase I get an idea. 


So bottom line; I SHALL OVERCOME MY FEAR OF READING MY STORIES OUT LOUD TO STRANGERS! 

I write dark fantasy/fiction short stories at www.sbribblesandshortstories.com 


I wanted to start a blog about writing, the process...the thoughts...the frustration...the inspiration. I guess writing the stories aren't enough of a ventilation for my brain. So here goes, I will attempt blogging. I may fail miserably but then again maybe not!
