How to Cure a Cold if You’re a Writer
My dialogue has been uncharacteristically violent today. My cold is making me frustrated. But at least it’s not stopping me working. I’m not sure where my head’s at exactly but I’m writing. I guess I’ll just have to look at this stuff on a clear day and make sure I’m making sense. I did have […]
Finishing the First Draft

Me: It’s the second day in a row I’ve only been able to squeeze a couple of good writing hours around ow ow my head ow ow. It’s pretty fucking annoying. Rick: Snorts. Me: Are you laughing at me? Rick: You don’t swear often. Me: Well it’s really unfortunate. I’m getting pretty close to finished […]

January 10, 2013 by Kandace Mavrick

I Didn’t JUMP to Conclusions, I Took a Tiny Step and There Conclusions Were
January 8, 2013 by Kandace Mavrick
Tuesday is the perfect, most excellent day of the week. Mostly because it’s the first time I get to write since before Christmas. When I went on holidays I decided that the first week back would be Arbitrary Admin Week (or Aaw as Rick has been referring to it). This worked remarkably well at stopping […]
