Origin Story: Part the First

November 15, 2011 by

So I’ve had a few people ask me: Where did this book come from? And my brain automatically leaps to the most inappropriate answer: Well, when a writer and a laptop love each other very much… *cough* Anyway… the actual answer is rather long. Mostly because this story has multiple incarnations and each regeneration is […]

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

October 14, 2011 by

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). […]

Denial Is My Friend

October 3, 2011 by

So I’m working on this section of RON (book three) and I thought I had a handle on it. But I don’t know. It’s tricky. The tone has to be just right, and I know where it should end but there’s this middle part where… I’m flailing. Mostly because the characters themselves are flailing… Which […]

Draconian Vendettas and Cake

Me: My brain hates me today. It is a block of wood on top of my neck mocking me about my inability to form sentences. Wuffie: *head pets*. That’s no good on the block headiness! Or should that be headedness? Me: I don’t even know anymore. On the up side, if you don’t sleep at […]

Exploding Dog

September 20, 2011 by

There is an online comic called Exploding Dog. It’s pretty cool. In some ways it’s more a series of connected pieces of art than a true comic. Also, you should maybe know that while there is a dog in it from time to time I’ve never seen it explode. And it’s certainly not about the […]

Out of Thin Air and Madness

September 16, 2011 by

I feel ridiculously virtuous because I’ve been working on book two of Path (TRTH) the last few days. Probably because while I was busy trying to get the framework of book three functioning and creating Wizards out of thin air and madness the second book was sitting there mocking me. Well not all of it. […]

Night of the Living Footnotes? When Footnotes Attack? Footnotes in Space?

September 14, 2011 by

Sometimes my footnotes get out of hand. Therefore, two things related to what I said yesterday: Firstly, a movie that I love for no sensible reason at all. I currently have this kind of bizarre affection for X-Men: First Class. When I first saw it, I enjoyed it. Then I noticed all the things that […]

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 […]
