Fiction: a thought or two

“The Sun Born Over is heartbreaking in the best way. You end up falling in love with Vay and Alan, even when they frustrate you with their decisions. Probably because what they do rings so true. You really can’t put it down until you’re done.”   Or so was one response to what our team over […]Read Post ›

what the world has been to you

“Make up a story… For our sake and yours forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. Don’t tell us what to believe, what to fear. Show us belief’s wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear’s caul.” — Toni […]Read Post ›

structure, part two

This is a longer post. But first, the weather report:   It’s 21 °C in this beautiful city and everyone is happy. Decent north-alpine temperatures. The weather has obviously stopped misbehaving.   Ice-cream is no longer a must to cool down, which is a pity.   There are a lot of tourists and school excursions about, the first […]Read Post ›

structure, part one

This is a longer post. But first, the weather report:   It has finally cooled down in this beautiful city. The sky’s grey with clouds crawling along under the blue.   People are disoriented. Suddenly, sweaters are needed. Everyone’s mildly in mourning of the hot days now gone.   Give it two more days and complaints about the lack […]Read Post ›

summer in the city

It’s been a hot few days in this beautiful city.   Baking heat, empty sidewalks, ice cream parlours open day and night. Citizens congregating around splashing fountains, Tourists fanning themselves, looking especially exhausted.   The Danube dark and languid, its banks cool havens of peace. Young and old slowing their brisk pace to an easy amble, a […]Read Post ›

stories told

There are many ways to embark on a journey.   Some get up and walk out of the door, never to be seen again. All that is known of them are rumours whispered and stories told.   Others plan and strategise, consult maps and travelogues, make sure to know all the best places to rest […]Read Post ›

perception

As always, it starts with how to say what you mean.   Fusing the sign and the sound with the apparent intention. And perception.   A lot of things happen when we say something. Even more happens when we tell a story, When we describe something that was, is, and might happen.   So many things, all at once. […]Read Post ›

free write

The weekend’s just around the corner One more day and it’s Saturday.   How about this: Go out and get inspired.   Free write. Experiment.   Try your hand at a haiku. Read something you never dared to read before.   Take a pen and write what comes to mind on paper. Take that and run […]Read Post ›

an art and a craft

Writing. It’s such a personal thing. And yet, in a strange way, it is always public. You write to be read, even if the reader is only one person: you. • There you are, your notebook open, fingers poised. There you are, ready to harness what is going on inside to a comprehensible whole. And […]Read Post ›
