Kickstart: Bibliotek: Chapter One.Three
<— Previous ~~~~~ * * * * * At the Indian dance she sat to his left, a little behind him, but leaning forward into his row. Turning her nose from a tepid splash of scentless sweat—from the jewelled net of inverted bubbles cast by the performers—they started to talk business. They spoke over the […]
Gosh, I’m brilliant, wouldn’t you like to publish me?
July 14, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
I remember sitting in a writing class as an undergrad and having a lecturer telling us that selling our work, schmoozing and so forth was almost as important as good writing. And I saw people exchanging matching glances that said quite clearly, But I decided to be a writer so I wouldn’t have to talk […]
Kickstart: Bibliotek: Chapter One.Two
July 13, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
<— Previous ~~~~~ Facing certain death, because his life had fallen apart. Comparatively speaking. Literally—figuratively? Whatever! It hadn’t been long ago that he’d found himself, watching a performance by gorgeous college dance students, and approached by the Collective to join up. The dancers on the stage had appeared uncomfortable. It was a contemporisation of classical […]
The Next Thing
July 13, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
So, I want ‘the next thing’ to be finishing editing the second book, and writing the third one. And then maybe writing something else entirely. Maybe something science fiction that I’ve been dreaming about (yes, literally, dreaming). But instead, I’m being good. I’m doing research, I’m writing query letters, I’m sending my words into the […]
Kickstart: Bibliotek: Chapter One.One

<— Previous ~~~~~ Chapter One Graham was sure he was being followed. He turned around, I must be, looking back over the jagged twist of his vertebrae, tripping head long down the cobbled streets. Nothing was straight-edged in London—nothing but the edges of the straight razors he feared were just behind—there were no clear sightlines […]
Kickstart: Bibliotek: Nanograph Zero.Two
July 12, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
And so we begin the actual posts (though follow the link back to the first part of Nanograph One if you don’t want to be lost.) I’ll be splitting the posts by ‘Nanograph’ short sections, and full ‘Chapters.’ Each post will have a .# after it to show which part of the whole section or […]
Rants and Theory
July 12, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
Icky Theory. Skip it if You Like Before jumping into posting (more) Bibliotek (or other fiction), I should start by explaining the idea behind my use of this site. For Bibliotek specifically—as the creative part of my PhD in e-publishing, and as a story of the future of publishing itself—an online presentation is a must. […]
Very Quickly
July 11, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
Thought I’d kick-start Bibliotek, so there are going to be a few more weekly posts to get it going, and (as I said, as it’s an emerging experiment) then we’ll figure out going into the future from there. And as per usual, more interest? More posts? More love material (engagement first, then love 😉 ).
Finished
July 11, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
I finished the book. Every time I say this to someone they look at me, kind of perplexed, and say something like, “You finish books all the time…” With their expression saying, Why is this suddenly news? And I say, “No, the one I’m writing.” And they say, “Oh.” But they don’t look much less […]
Bibliotek: Nanograph Zero.One

No one had been down the hole since Hazmats'd poured their concrete over the contaminate some twenty years ago. No one else would have dared.
