Dis Clam ‘ere
Alabaster Crippens doesn't entirely believe in objective truth, therefore he can neither confirm or deny the accuracy of any statement, image or impression caused by, or displayed on, these pages of the so called 'internet'. He does however not want to get sued, even if the lawyers, legal system, and the concept of jurisprudence doesn't exist. Therefore if you believe the nonsense posted on here you do so entirely at your own risk. In other words: Don't sue me 'cause I might not mean it. Basically, anything you hear from anyone is unreliable, so if you want the 'truth' you need the perspectives of as many people as you can get..ideally people who are trustworthy and close to the particular 'truth' you wish to inspect. If you start trusting idiots with silly (and obviously made up) names then you're developing some kind of problem. Check your sources, examine their own politcal (or other) motivation, remember that anything people say is opinion unless you are certain that they speak the 'truth'. Even your own eyes can lie. Trust me on that one. Or don't..it doesn't bother me. Finally, everything written here is, to the best of my knowledge written by me and I reserve my right to be recognised as the author of these works. Any input from other sources should be clearly shown, if you note a mistake or anything..tell me..I'll try and sort out the problem. Please ask me if you want to use anything for commercial reasons...I probably won't mind but I need to know I'm not supporting anything I don't want to support. This is an attempt at a legal notice written without legal knowledge. Just follow the principles, I think most of you get what I mean, even if it won't stand up in a court of law. Just be polite you know...like in the good ole days.

I’ve Got an Idea – A Kiss to Build a Dream On
I think I might finally have a clue what I’m going to do with my Script Frenzy. An idea I like that I think would be best dealt with in visual form. I’m not going to go into great deal … Continue reading

Fimbulwinter Anyone?

New Ideas – When to begin?
So I’ve had an idea. Something that would make a nice little short story, or possibly even the basis of something grander. The idea isn’t what’s important here. What matters is the problem of when to start writing. You see….if … Continue reading

Big Blue Troll gone missing.
So. I’m at work, and I wasn’t planning on blogging today. I was hoping to write a couple of thousand words on the old novel. That’s right…I’ve finally had the burst of ideas I’ve been waiting for and I’m ready … Continue reading
A Quantum Awakening – Scroedinger’s Vikings
Random research sometimes yields better results than anything specific. Following a link on an article about the iPhone (current wordpress number one) led me to Schroedinger’s cat, which I’ve known about for years. Anyway, I looked at the related links … Continue reading
Mania Descends Upon Me – And I’m feeling good

Why I (don’t) Write – Is not writing always writer’s block or is it sometimes just not being a writer
