It’s Not Just Doctor Who That Worships the British

October 24, 2011 by

So today I’ve decided to give the BBC all my love. Paul sat me down to watch the pilot of something last week over lunch and the BBC logo came up on the screen and I instantly went, Aw. And sat forward in my seat. Because I have expectations I do. Although I hadn’t realised […]

This is Not About Clowns

I have a new theory. Doctor Who doesn’t like humans, he likes the British. That’s why he spends so much time on Earth during this relatively short span of time. After a certain point in history, once they’re off parading around the galaxy, they’re just people. He prefers them when they’re still British. I really […]

You Say ‘Reckless’ Like it’s a Bad Thing

So if you made it through the madness of Tuesday’s post you’ll (maybe) have noticed the part where I realised that I’ve found I’m using the same vocabulary for magic and violence and sex in Wizards. Which… I didn’t totally intend but kind of makes sense? When I say I’m using the same vocabulary, I […]

This is a Public Service Announcement. This is Only a Test.

So it turns out my capacity to talk about myself, my writing, and stories in general is more or less infinite. Nobody is shocked. Well, me, a little. I never intended to write here this regularly.* It creates expectations. (That should be read in a deep and portentous voice: Expectaaa-tionss…!) I’d just started to wonder: […]

How to Be Spoiler-Proof*

Was going to write about this stuff in paragraphs but… Can’t words. Head -> floor. So I present to you and episode of This Totally Made Sense at the Time, I Swear. Starring me and Arkem as… well, our regular rather ludicrous selves. Me: Tell me I don’t want to spoiler myself for the next […]

In Retrospect, I Should Have Seen It Coming

Friday Was spent relating to a sociopath and questioning the limits of my self-control. And, you know, causing people to laugh at me. Me: …that’s normal, right? Arkem: Indeed Me: Oh good. I’m… not totally sure what constitutes normal right now. Arkem: Is it important? …. And shouldn’t you be working? Me: I am! I […]

If Any of You Are From the Future, Please Raise Your Hand

I really want a time machine right now. Then I could go into the future and find people who’ve read my books and rant at them about the way these stories are falling together in my brain without violently spoilering them. (Okay, yes, I could use a time machine for lots of other cool stuff […]

Plan Life. God Laughs. God Rewrites Plan.

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 […]

Volunteering to be Roadkill

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?

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 […]
