Ghost Cow and Other Stories
So I was asked to write about the ghost cow* this evening, and I thought ‘why not?’ The ghost cow (as I’ve come to develop between returning books at the library) is an avenging animal rights crusader. Eaten by a group of careless omnivores, the cow then visits each in a kind of delicatessen Christmas […]
Plan Life. God Laughs. God Rewrites Plan.
October 13, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
Things are not going the way I thought they would. The new parts of TRTH were supposed to be giving a voice to one character, and increasing the page space of a second. And then on Friday this other character just shouldered his way in and now there’s blood all over the place and he’s […]
Wednesday Poetry: Listening
October 12, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
Just a quickie! ;D ~~~~~ Watching you clack the keys. Board silent to me—your head wired to the sound; all I have is the plastic depression, the acoustic hollow. Though I see your neck bent over the perfection of your music. It is watching the smoke of a firework blow after the bang. The laser […]
Volunteering to be Roadkill
October 12, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
I just wrote… I don’t even know what that was. I just wrote 2000 words of… no, I honestly don’t know. But my head apparently has some rather dark places in it. I mean, I know what it is. It’s a new chapter of book two of Path (also known by its awesome codename TRTH). […]
Time to Play WORKAHOLIC: YES OR NO?
October 11, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
Rick: How’s it going? Me: Um… realising I’m a workaholic? Rick: Heh. Worked out how far you are ahead? Me: Yeah. Rick: So what are you going to do with your enforced two months off? Me: Not! Rick: Pan-less? Me: Haven’t finished! Can’t! Words! Rick: (don’t explode) Me: Yeah. God. I started to think about […]
BooYah!!!

… and I sent Bibliotek off to my supervisor! This isn’t really that big a deal, it’s only the next furthest edit, but I have been promising that for the past three months!
Monday Blurb: My Duet With An Artist
October 10, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
All I really have to say, is that this piece took me… eight years to write (off and on) for my Honours degree at uni. Why did I think a creative disertation on orality versus literacy was a good idea?! ~~~~~ My Duet With An Artist You might say that Jacob is a paradox, an […]
We Can’t Be Friends Until I Make You Laugh
October 10, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
I have this seesaw in my head. And everything I’m about to say has to cross the seesaw. To do so it has to answer a question. And the question isn’t: Is this a good idea? or Am I going to upset someone? It’s not: Is this completely idiotic? or even Does this make the […]
Bibliotek: Nanograph Three
October 8, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
<— Previous ~~~~~ Ned watched as Agent Choinski awkwardly followed his own calm lead, taking a gulp of air before pulling the hood of her hazmat closed. He nodded to her, “you’re safe now,” he said roughly over the mic. He’d already felt the pinch in his own throat of cartilage fracturing in the gas. […]
Do I Need a Reason to Help a Pretty Girl in a Very Wet Dress?
October 7, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
So yesterday I was having an Alice vs. Alice moment. That is an Alice in Wonderland versus miniseries Alice moment. Basically because it seems deeply wrong to be comparing two movies and picking the one without Johnny Depp. Especially given that a large part of that decision is based on the character he played — […]
