Short Stories, Rants and Observations
I’m responsible for these rather odd short stories, rants, lists and observations. A number of inquisitive people, namely one, asked me how or where do the ideas come from. Thankfully there’s no clear answer. When the trousers, mind or wild weather conditions suit such things, the computer opens, a page appears and so it starts to flow.
I’ve managed to resurrect some of the more random posts and rearranged some others. Now of course while each short story may reside in unpleasant situations, each of the tasty morsels including the rants, lists and observations are aimed at a mature audience. Sadly they appear rather immature at times.
Despite warnings and common sense, I may write some more. For example, as I’m now a retired gent, I’ve lot’s of thinking to do and even though I can’t type or spell, I’ve more writing to do. Maybe some reviews, views and reactions to the mountain of material I watch now and in the past. Much of it loved, some endured and some screamed at. The screaming is sometimes quite loud and always well thought out. People have always asked over the years of my tapping, scribbling and stumbling about on tbaoo, mysillywriting and recently on happybelly.au:
- Do you know what you’re doing? – No.
- Do you make any money out of it? – No.
- Does anyone other than you actually read it? – No.
- Will you keep writing and fiddling about with these sites? – Yes
So, I’ll keep going, some ranting, some laughing, indeed a change of theme and the ongoing tinkering will continue. In fact due to some mysterious technical interruptions and skullduggery, I’ve had to relocate the happybelly content here (see below) but I’ll try to add to it from time to time.
One of the byproducts from this site, and those before it is Three Short Stories a selection of nonsense formatted into an affordable eBook. Somewhat adult in nature, with gruesome goings on, food safety and some naughty business. Get your copy: Apple Books — Smashwords — Amazon Kindle — Barnes & Noble — Kobo
