Writings of a madman who lived through a thousand deaths. Also about taking things just as seriously as they deserve.
Heads up posts about stuff I consider important to share here. Contains few legacy pieces from the previous life of this blog that perhaps don’t fit too well, but couldn’t find any better place for themselves.
Hey. It's been a while since I last posted here. Sorry about that. Anyway, it's nice to see this blog seems to have entertained a few people. Thanks a lot for all the likes and follows—I suppose I should have done this way earlier, but I've never been great at these social niceties that keep … Continue reading How I Did (Not) Get a Literary Agent
Just in case anyone missed me during the past six or seven weeks, I was busy. First with summer holidays, then with a massive work combo of September deadlines. I also finished a novel, as someone with extremely keen inference capabilities might have guessed from the feature image already. Although finished is perhaps a bit … Continue reading Back on Track
Hey there! Looking at the date of the last post, one might think this place was dead. But not anymore. For better or worse, I'm back and ready to start again. I even got myself a new name. Or rather the old, real name. No more hiding, I say. From now on, this place will … Continue reading Resurrection
Hey there. I'm back after the Xmas break spent in my home country. Surprisingly enough, I've managed to squeeze a bit of writing in between parties, family meetings and general time off. As usual, that means not so much contents stuffed into the maws of the attention-greedy social beasts. There have only been scraps over … Continue reading Cannibal Feast, vol. 7
Catching up fast now after the break! When I got back from the travels reported in the previous edition of these cannibalizations, I found the Atlantic autumn slowly turning into rather cold winter. Bring it on, I say, for really cold weather (for Ireland) typically means unusually clear skies (for Ireland). Like in this fiery … Continue reading Cannibal Feast, vol. 6
Alright, this has been a long break. I have no proper reasons, only excuses. Work, mostly, and a little bit of traveling. Draining. But that's not the main excuse. The thing that stopped most of my "microwriting" was a rather daring idea that occurred to me in the end of October. Long story short, I've … Continue reading Cannibal Feast, vol.5
Strange, fast-flying bitch of a week. Funny weather bringing a lot of mild awfulness broken up by days of outright beauty. Mix of pure research joy and PowerPoint tedium at work (a win I'd say as it could have been much worse this time of the year). Car breaking down in the middle of nowhere. … Continue reading Cannibal Feast, vol. 4
There was not much progress in writing last week. At least not regarding the main story-line I've been working on past few weeks. But I did manage to find some time for quick exercises. I wrote a flash story on wondrous afterlife of a discarded piece of plastic cutlery, and even my first-ever sonnet! Now to … Continue reading Cannibal Feast, vol. 3
Time for another summary of weekly happenings has come. So let's type quickly before the Ophelia hurricane falls upon on Ireland! The storm is special indeed and probably deserves all the media buzz. But the current forecast doesn't seem to indicate anything more unusual than some of the epic storms that do batter the Emerald Isle pretty … Continue reading Cannibal Feast, vol. 2
Welcome to the series of self-devouring exercises. The idea is to look at the contents posted on the "fast" social media in the last week or so and see if there are any interesting patterns. A diary, with a bit of distance from what was actually happening. How was the last week then? It started pretty … Continue reading Cannibal Feast, vol. 1
