Trying to Commit Art

September 12, 2011 by

Footnote There was a period of time where every author I considered analysing as part of my doctorate promptly dropped dead. From an academic point of view that’s sort of useful because all of a sudden you’re dealing with a closed body of work, but from a, you know, human point of view it was […]

Please Excuse My Screaming

September 9, 2011 by

So this. Yesterday my head was in the dark place so I was working on book three of Path (codename: RON) which is the dark place, pretty much. You may remember I was having trouble with the structure of the beginning, but you will (naturally) be happy to know I managed to sort it out […]

Calling Loyalty Into Question: Jelly, Hats, and Cookies

Yesterday Pan (my laptop) and I started the day in a state of uneasy truce. He would not explode and I would refrain from yelling at him. Given that’s the way things were before the recent madness I didn’t think I’d have any trouble holding up my side of the bargain. And then he had […]

When You’re Offline Nobody Can Hear You Scream

Yesterday I spent the day screaming incoherently at my computer. And saying: FOR SERIOUS? repeatedly. Basically, Pan and I had something of a disagreement. (Pan is my laptop, that I love to death and spend eighteen hours a day, or more, with. Those who tell you I sit around cuddling him when not actually using […]

This Comes Under the Category: Science = Hilarious

So according to this article I have gay fingers? And according to this one drinking could fuel me to previously unforeseen creative heights. And according to this one Fight Club’s Jack is really Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes. This comes under the category: science = hilarious. Along with ‘the cosmos tastes like raspberries and smells […]

Everyone is a Villain Until Proven Otherwise

September 5, 2011 by

I had a number of responses to my call for petty villains on Friday but nobody specifically prepared to let me kill them out of hand. Which I have to say strikes me as a lack of commitment on their part. Arkem: While I might be a villain, I would not consider myself petty and […]

Wanted: One (or More) Petty Villains, Willing to be Killed Out of Hand while Remaining Stoically Silent About Their Tragic Past

September 2, 2011 by

“So who’s the bad guy?” “I can’t tell you.” “Why not?” “I haven’t written it yet.” I realised a few days ago that Wizards is missing a villain. I mean, I have a large epic-style villain for the universe type thing — you know, I know what the overall struggle should be. But I need […]

Oscar the Grouch and the Cookie Monster. Totally OTP.

There’s been this thing recently about Bert and Ernie getting married — or not actually as the Sesame Workshop claims they are just friends (which is fine) and takes pains to point out that they’re ‘just puppets’ so they don’t have a sexual orientation (which is a bit ridiculous. They’re characters, of course they have […]

The WWIDS Principle

August 31, 2011 by

I wrote about seven thousand words yesterday. Which is… moderately insane, but not in any way I want to argue about. My brain just switched on and said write. And I took the opportunity as offered. I don’t argue when the words come. I just crank the volume and hold the laptop close while it […]

Drinking, Flirting and Machiavellian Pizza

August 30, 2011 by

I was going to tell you all about what I did today, but then I realised I’d already had that conversation. It went like this: <insert here clever and fiendish scheming that makes me look smarter than I am> Arkem: Dastardly 🙂 Me: Well, I am writing about Machiavelli again. It’s catching. Arkem: Machiavelli was […]
