The launch of “Bittersweet Symphony” took place last Sunday, May 18, at Nolan on Lovel Art Gallery in Katoomba, Blue Mountains.

It was a great occasion to meet my friends and celebrate my achievement. Dr Lindsay Duncan was the official presenter, and he spoke about the one good book in every one of us. But he also said that not everyone of us writes this so-called good book.

I have achieved a dream—writing and publishing the first of a series of books that live in my head, but that on a day-to-day basis become characters on a page.

Hard work? I don’t know … Lots of fun? Maybe … Inner dialogue? For sure!

I now feel a mix of great happiness coupled with immense exhaustion. A good friend of mine reminded me that it’s only natural. It sure is a big achievement, but I’m onto the next big thing now, my first collection of short stories and a second novel.

Guys, FF Jensen is here to stay 🙂

Hello World (meh…! not very original, I’m afraid)

Aside

Hi, welcome to my blog!

Between you and I, I don’t know why I decided to call it “I rant” … I sometimes rant; I seldom weep; more often than not I’ll share my thoughts with you. You’ll be the judge on whether I’m ranting, weeping or what. Communication is a two-way thingy. According to good ol’ Roman Jakobson, communication requires a sender, a message and a receiver. I’m not going to bore you shitless explaining a wonderful theory that you can read about in Signo: Theoretical Semiotics On The Web. I’m sure that if I attempt to explain the whole theory to you, I’d make a hopeless mess of it. Besides, I’m very hungry!

Catchya later! In the meantime, have a good one.
