The Big Novel

I've been writing since I can remember. Mostly ironic and sarcastic stories about the wacky world we live in. In many cases just personal reflections on things that I see, encounter and think about.

I really enjoy creating and sharing stories from my reality. By reality, I mean my most subjective reflections and views as opposed to the more rigorous established truths and facts.

One of my favorite subjects is the stupidity of crowds. A crowd of people can do pretty weird things together, things that they would never do as individuals. Crowds are much more accepting of idiosyncrasies. Hitler, Enron, appointment viewing, 9-5 being but a few. Most people hang on to crowd behaviour as a way to belong, to feel needed, to confirm their existence.

Once in a while I'm being asked why I don't write a novel. I would lie if I said I haven't thought about it. But a great novel should leave you breathless and not just feed your bank account and until I find that killer idea this blog has to do.
