as I have been mentioning..to go with the last few songs I have done..I am writing a series of interelated short stories that can be collected into a novella format I suppose..
the first one is nearly ready and is called just like the song
A BOY WITH A GIRLS NAME
Now the problem is..that I am rusty as a nail..and the last time I wrote fiction was 10 years ago..so obviously I need good honest feedback...
I have finished the first part in long hand and am in process of typing/pdfing it...
it's style is allover the place urban horror/splatterpunk is the closest I can come to describing it ... Joe R Landsdale crossed with Clive Barker crossed with Garth Ennis (Preacher) crossed with Warren Ellis crossed with Barry Gifford (Lynch's cowritter on Lost Highway)..
and it's rude, crude and violent..so if you are easily offended...dont bother
Other wise please email me at significarta@hotmail.com so I can send it back as an attachment..
I am a slow typist and it may eventuate in a few days...but please only email me if you have the patience to read 30 odd pages and then..be able to critique..point out the weaknesses etc and ofcoarse reply back..
so I know I am asking a lot..but I think what I am writing is pretty fast breezy and entertaining and just might be worth your while..please indicate here if you are interested and send an email...
thanks..

I'll probably read it right on the computer instead of printing it out. Looking forward to it, naturally since I cannot look backward to it if it lies in the future. Unless I travel through time backwards. I think I'll start doing that from now on. So, I'm looking backwards to it now.

for looking backwards..you might need to grow an pair of eyes in the back of the head too..wont you?..apparently it's very easy to do..just shave off a patch at the appropriate spot on the back of the head..and then there's these chants and meditations you need to do..it involves a few bouts clenching and pushing down on your bowels..so certain fish curries are highly recommended...and lo and behold..these eyes pop open at the back of your skull.....supposedly the four eyes are also high in demand in the various intelligence agencies around the world...
it's just that these baby eyes dent to be a bit myopic you have to go around wearing glasses on the back of your head..and you get to hear the tired old joke..I dont know if he's coming or going..rather a lot..other than that..there's lots of perks of being quadra focal...

no no no, to grow eyes in the back of your head, you have to recite the dialogue from the 37th episode of "I love lucy" while walking on your hands and cloning a chicken with your feet.

Send it to me at revolverjgw@hotmail.com, I'm interested... I probably won't read it all, to be honest (unless there's pictures)... 30 pages is pretty fucking daunting with school coming up and my job. But I'm still curious... and who knows, maybe I'll read it all if it's good enough.

I've been writing a series of extremely short stories, like snapshots of people, situations. I'm using different styles and techniques..
at first the stories seeem unconnected. now I'm at nr.28 and people start to see the connections between the different stories and characters.
anyway, I'll send and e-mail..
