Can’t Sleep. Clown’ll Eat Me.
Arkem: I’m having a “I’d rather be napping” day. Me: Aw. That was my yesterday. Although to be fair, I’ve only just woken up today and I’m not sure yet that I don’t regret it. The problem with being ridiculously sleep deprived is not that I can’t write. I write just fine when I’m out […]
Insomnia is a Conspiracy of Squirrels?
June 17, 2013 by Kandace Mavrick
I’m not leaving town for like three weeks, I don’t understand why my brain is trying to switch time zones in advance. It is driving me crazy. Er. Crazier.
I Do Like to Set Things On Fire
June 13, 2013 by Kandace Mavrick
I have around a quarter of the book left to edit at this point and my sidebar is full of these weird sarcastic notes to self. Last week when I was sick I wasn’t really focusing clearly enough to want to mess with the text so I just flipped through it and made comments. That’s […]
I Don’t Want to Tell You What I Dream About
June 12, 2013 by Kandace Mavrick
You know how in Inception you can walk around in other people’s dreams? I love that idea to pieces. I want to get inside everybody’s heads. But I don’t want you in my mine. It’s not — well, yes, okay, it’s partly that I don’t want you to see what goes on in my head. […]
This is Why Critique is Important. Excellent For the Ego. No, Wait…
April 26, 2013 by Kandace Mavrick
I wasn’t going to work this week. I was going to do admin stuff, nap, make cookies… It was the Week of Letting My Beta Readers Do Their Thing. And then on Saturday — Me: I promised one of my beta readers a new chapter every time she emailed me with comments on the last. […]
I Wonder What Happens Next
April 10, 2013 by Kandace Mavrick
Me: Tomorrow’s Monday! Rick: (flatly) I love you, bear. Me: I shouldn’t say that with so much glee? Rick: Yeah. It’s possible that I was a little more than reasonably excited about getting back to work this week. But come on, I knew it was going to be fun. I’ve been running through the last […]
The Violent Ecstasy of the End Point
March 28, 2013 by Kandace Mavrick
I am going through the end of the book so fast it’s a little disturbing. Partly because holding it all my head is starting to make me feel like I’ve got a zoetrope in there, but also because I’m so focused on it I’m not really connecting properly with the real world. Like, okay — […]
Writing. All Other Things in Flux.
March 26, 2013 by Kandace Mavrick
I am this* close to finishing the first draft of Wizards. Which means I am writing at speed and to the exclusion of most other things, like sleeping, eating and interacting with other human beings. Rick: How’s it going? Me: Am awake. Writing. All other things in flux. Come to think of it, even consciousness […]
