BAC (Big Aircraft Company)

BAC (Big Aircraft Company) is about the culture inside one of the worlds largest aerospace companies, it's effect on the working class as well as an entire region, and the correlation between everyday management decisions and the ever looming global economy's current and future state. This is one mechanic's story from job application and training to the first flight of the best selling and quite likely industry changing concept plane.

Practitioner of ADHD

Thinking I had a story to write I started putting words to paper. As the story grew I realized what was happening was at least 4 stories beyond the original concept coming threw the pages. With these stories and a non-fiction book in the back of my mind ready to go I decided to to what any good practitioner of ADHD would do. I set up this Blog as a device to help sort out my stories so maybe someday they might be books.

In addition to the aforementioned fictions and a non-fiction several scraps of paper with notes jotted on them spanning from the mid-80's through today will finally have their digital day in the sun. I plan to also flesh out some of my unfinished poems and short stories in this forum.

While the goal is a page a day there may be week long droughts and then storms of 10 pages in one day. I may write a few pages on one story and then few on a couple more so the Blog might not be in an order to read straight through a story. To do this I'll have a more organized version of the stories published at http://www.prose.nosuchanimal.net but the update will only be once a month at best.

As stated above this is a device to help me sort out ideas and keep the stories coherent. In addition to this I would encourage constructive feedback as this will help me in my revision process. Some times you may see changes brought on by your comments which will effect the final outcome of the published book.

Check back often for new pages. I hope you enjoy and I hope you participate in this process!

Thank you!
