Life Experience (How The Hell Did That Happen?)

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

As i’ve started to write again, and think about things that are going on around me, as well as looking for subjects and personal experiences to write about, i’ve realised something that was quite unexpected.

The one big motto of most writers seems to be, universally, “Write about the things you know.”  Obviously the more interesting, unique and/or experience filled lives that people lead, the more they have to write about.

  • The assumption

I never really see myself as grown up, or experienced or having led a fulfilling life.  Part of the reason for that is because of my ex, who certainly liked to portray an image of me that was immature, wasn’t experienced enough in life to understand some of how it worked (A nice little psychological trick to justify wrongs and make it sound like the normal way of life).  Read More »

Do I Believe? - God and all of his/her/it’s guises

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Warning, this is a long post!

The first one didn’t go too bad, and pushed on by my own sense of greatness (or lack thereof), i’ve decided to be brave and tackle the big one, God.

  • A little background

As you’ve probably garnered, either by reading my previous posts, or by knowing me, i was a born again Christian for over 5 years of my life. Between the ages of 18 and 23 and a bit. My faith was always strong within that time, until towards the very end of the run, where it withered and died as i struggled to keep one aspect (lust) of my life under wraps. Read More »

Melanie’s Seduction - First written: 04-05-99

Monday, August 18th, 2008
Hi, My name is Joanne, this story is my attempt at releasing a few cobwebs,
I have never told anyone about this event, not even my now Husband.
I'll start with a little bit about myself......
I'm a 37 year old married woman, although I was not married at the time
this story took place. I've been married for just a little over 3 months,
and the event I'm about to write about, took place, just over a year ago.
I'm 5'5", with long dark brown hair, lightly permed, with the full length
wisping down over my shoulders, and wrapping neatly in toward my body. I'm
of a nice build, not skinny, and also not overweight, what I would like to
call nicely rounded. 34C-30-32 for all those with an eye for detail. I'm
straight, although the story you are about to read is about me and another
woman, it was very much a one off event, and even though I did enjoy it, I
prefer men. Read More »

Chion - Darryl Sloan

Chion

Chion

Chion - Darryl Sloan

A perilous journey through the strangest apocalypse .

Set, for the most, in a secondary school in Northern Ireland, and based around a mysterious substance that looks like snow, which turns out to be something a lot less savoury, Chion is a very compelling piece of work.I lazily chose to start reading the book after midnight, thinking i’d give it 20 minutes, enough to give me a taste, then continue the next day. 100 pages later, i finally gave into my sleep deprived eyes and when i did continue the next morning, i finished the book.

Very enjoyable read with an original plot, good characters and more than enough instances to make me think further about what had just happened and how i might have dealt with it.

Something that in my opinion, should be a big part of any sci-fi book/story/film, but sadly is lacking in most titles.

I look forward to reading more by Darryl.

My rating: 4.0 stars
****
