The Noir Writer 2

Did my previous post leave a feeling of discontent and dissatisfaction? Well, I certainly hope it did because it was a noir tale about a noir writer, ME. I am a Noir Writer and in my last post I am THE Noir writer.

My blog is not going to be all about noir stories but you should expect stories of that ilk. I'll be talking about books, authors, screenplays and certain verities. I'll also talk about my soon-to-be published sci-fi/fantasy novel.

Noir, sci-fi, action, crime,crime-thriller : in these genres lies my métier. As a Noir writer, I make sure that the prevailing emotions in my noir stories are: depression, apathy, fear, amorality, and paranoia. So if you read any noir story you shouldn't be narked when you notice these emotions. Noir stories leave a certain bitter taste in your mouth.

Now, you are at present reading this blog post having read the previous one. You have, I hope, your attention fixed upon what I'm trying to convey. I am the Noir writer. Just in case you're wondering why the previous post was written in the third person, most noir stories are written that way.

That's all for now folks! Till next time, and next time isn't going to take long. Please leave a comment, and follow me on twitter @Manuelq4 for my thoughts and activities in a hundred and forty characters.

The Noir Writer

He loved reading crime novels. He had been reading them since he was six years old. Six years of age? Yes, at  that young age he could read any book. As he got older, he began writing, writing diaries, writing on subjects that piqued his interest.

Writing for him was just a pastime, he would write scary stories, stories macabre and weird. In his stories, the protagonist almost always led a discontented life and ended up taking his own life. Such was his style of writing. He loved sad endings, he didn't fancy the idea of a happy ending. I know you'd wonder why he didn't fancy the mawkish. Or why he wrote about gruesome stories with endings that would naturally leave a feeling of dissatisfaction in anyone who cared to read them.

 The truth is, he led a discontented life himself. He had friends but he was a loner. He had a brother and two sisters who loved him dearly(step-brother and step-sisters actually). Yet he was discontented and unhappy, well because he hated his step-mother who was always unfair to him. He couldn't hurt his step-mother in reality,so he wrote. He enacted situations in which he would die and his step-mom would pay for her sins. 

 After writing, he would feel a heavy hate-cloud hovering over him dissipate into thin air. It became his wont to write strange stories after being beaten by his step-mom.This wont would give him a sense of pure release, but only temporarily. Soon, he began writing without provocation, by age 21 he could write excellently -- he had honed his noir fiction-writing skills over the years unknowingly. He diversified his writing too, from sci-fi stories,to adventure and fantasy....
