US Government Rules that Mutants Like the X-Men Are Not Human
Consciousness was a little hard to come by this morning. I was dreaming about Captain Haddock. Which is a weird thing to be dreaming about. And Japanese foot-washing rituals. And something above private school girl ties. All of which actually makes less sense now I’m awake, which is fairly impressive. So in something of a […]
Maybe I’ll Just Sit Here And Bleed At You
30/01/2012
On Friday I watched this movie Brick. I really liked it. But I’m still trying to figure out what it was exactly. I accidentally made Rick watch it that evening just by talking confusedly at him about it. He made all the same, Whut? faces I did.* It was cool. But didn’t get me noticeably […]
Is It Just Me Or Does That Sound Like a Statement of Sexual Preference?
27/01/2012
Me: (reading the sticker in the back of our neighbour’s car) The harder the better. Is it just me or does that sound like a statement of sexual preference? Arkem: I don’t wear my statements of sexual preference on my car. Me: Do you wear them on your shirt instead? Arkem: No. Me: You barely […]
Schrödinger’s Rockstars
26/01/2012
Me: That’s terrible. Paul S: But applicable! Me: It’s a terrible, awful joke. (Pause.) That was strangely applicable to the conversation.* Weirdly enough, this conversation had nothing at all to do with my rant about dwarves yesterday and rather more to do with the fact that I received a package that said, Instant Rockstars! on […]
The Seventh Dwarf: Horseflesh
25/01/2012
Me: I’m trying to decide whether to make one of my characters absent for the first book Arkem: Well if you can do without him, you might as well kill — Me: No, not non-existent just… not there. The rumour on the edge of sight. The seventh dwarf. Horseflesh. I’m not entirely sure why, but […]
Different Ways of Phrasing the Word ‘No’
24/01/2012
I just wrote yet another synopsis for Path. It’s like I’m physically incapable of sending out another round of queries without rewriting the whole thing from the ground up. They’re also getting progressively darker. I feel quite strongly there should be more jokes in there. Possibly more beer. But it’s hard to sneak those things […]
White Blank Page
23/01/2012
I am suffering from a rather severe form of blank page syndrome right now. My laptop (the lamented Pan Narrans) is falling apart again. Gracefully, but dramatically. So I’m using my backup laptop, which, after the last Pan debacle is at least installed with a relatively current OS and the most important programs. But otherwise, […]

Plot: Gladiator Style
19/01/2012
I am trying to figure out what happens in this book. I have at least six different ways it could all go down. And they’re all good, but at this point no single one seems truer or stronger. The problem is, I don’t know my characters well enough yet. I have the voices of the […]
