We Have So Much in Common

July 17, 2012 by

Merry: She eats like you do. Me: We have so much in common. Merry: Yeah. Me: Except she has the excuse of actually being six. Merry: Yeah. So I eat like a seven year old. In fact, you’ll get some quite persuasive arguments from people I know that it’s not just food choices I have […]

So just in case that whole Mayan-calendar-ending thing really does herald the end of the world, or, you know, if you want to be prepared for your everyday kind of apocalypse, these guys have put together an end-of-the-world survival kit. Crafted and designed in Mexico, in the most cheerful of colours. End of the world […]

Warning: AFC, Possibly Weasels

So I’m going to be AFC (away from couch) for the next seven weeks. Which is both brilliant and worrying. I mean, what will my couch do without me? I am, however, taking my keyboard with me. I have wondered, from time to time, what it would be like to travel without my laptop (I’m […]

Me: Would you remind me tomorrow to make a doctor’s appointment? Rick: I reminded you today. Me: Yes, but I was writing. So I was all la la la, go away. Rick: Oh doom. Me: Don’t do that. I was writing! You don’t interrupt writing for frivolous administrative pursuits. Rick: Like your health and well-being. […]

Me: I said, Tell me about your rooms that would fit three people. And the hotel website said, How about this one with one king bed? Arkem: 😛 Me: You have to give them props for the judgement-free approach. “Maybe the three of you only want one bed…” No assumptions. Arkem: It’s nice to have […]

On at least two occasions when I became aware of the commentary the music was making about what I was writing I giggled hard enough to dislodge my laptop, but a rather […]

I’m not entirely sure why, but this feels like rick-rolling… Maybe it’s because I tend to picture this song drunkenly stumbling its way across the internet leaving iterations of itself like breadcrumbs in its path. This version is worth it though.

This Is What Finished Looks Like*

July 5, 2012 by

So on… Monday? Was probably Monday. I finished the current draft of book two of Path. Which is brilliant because I have been so close for like two weeks, I kept making progress only to have the finish line move. Something would happen and I would have to rewrite something or there would be a […]
