Alan Crawford tries to answer the questions often posed and there might be more to come.
Who is Alan Crawford?
As displayed proudly in my author box I'm an increasingly grumpy old fart posting rants and observations and trying to write somewhat twisted short, and slightly longer stories for adults.
And from my What About Me page: I was born in a mild, caring, newly air-conditioned room at St Leonards – in the Royal North Shore Hospital. I was brought home to a small unit (not Apartment 2204) with my newly burped face and bum. I was born a boy and remain so to this day. Many years later I left school under a cloud of drama and exasperation and started work. It was very smelly being an apprentice butcher and I’ve been lucky to enjoy many careers since, sales, music, driving, media, talking, listening, and yelling, all sorts of things.
Why is this website here?
I was drawn to blogging after having both legs removed after an unfortunate skydiving accident. Not only didn’t the chutes open, I bounced for two miles down a lonely country road and ended up lodged into a wasp nest up in a tree. The bites actually brought me back to life and to this day I pay homage to those little bitty things. My legs have been replaced and aside from the odd squeak, I get about fine.
I have managed to resurrect some of the older 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. Basically I love tinkering about, new stories, new themes and various hurdles along the way. Lot's of things causing me stress along the way of course.
Does anyone other than you actually read it?
The first thought is no, but you are aren't you 🙂
Will you keep writing and fiddling about with alan crawford com au?
Yes! ... 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 move the happybelly.au and older posts to a relaunched tbaoo.com.
What happened to the old stuff?
Well, alancrawford.com.au became too large and this triggered the relaunch of tbaoo.com now revitalised and ready for action.
If you have any questions or general feedback, please let me know and I’ll do my darnedest to reply ASAP.
