I Will Not Intentionally Tell the Truth

October 10, 2013 by

I don’t write about real people or real events.* But sometimes real life sneaks in anyway. In Drink Me there is a throwaway line of description halfway through. It’s a very simple sketch outline of a piece of backstory that never comes into the book. It’s one line and one of my relatives read it, […]

why things burn

My fire-eating career came to an end when I could no longer tell when to spit and when to swallow. Last night in Amsterdam, 1,000 tulips burned to death. I have an alibi. When I walked by your garden, your hand grenades were in bloom. You caught me playing loves me, loves me not, metal […]

Watching this video feels like a weird kind of high school flashback. Because of the outfits. Just so we’re clear.    

Important Decisions Should Not Be Based on Laziness or ‘Because it’ll Make Me Laugh’

Right now I’m trying to figure out if this new story is in third person or first and if it’s about a boy or a girl because I’ve got chunks of text in basically every permutation. When I start writing something new I tend to simply use ‘he’ and she’ because it’s the easiest way […]

I Don’t Even Know Your Name

That lyric line ‘I don’t even know your name’ seems particularly pointed right now because I’m struggling to name the characters in this new book that I may be, might be writing. This song is kinda silly and if you read it straight I have some issues with the lyrics. Also the video clip is […]

If I Was the Whiskey…

Yesterday one of my readers* came over and we worked through the notes they’d given me on Drink Me. I kind of love doing that in person because it gives me the opportunity to wave my arms and roll my eyes and stick my tongue out at them when I disagree. Which I think helps […]

How I Start Writing a Book

September 20, 2013 by

I know I’m supposed to be proof reading Drink Me. Writing synopses and query letters and other practical things. Failing that, I should be editing Path, or working up this middle grade thing.* But what I have been doing is having migraine-style headaches which stop my brain from functioning. And then last Friday night I […]

Minor detour because science!
