Not Writing a Love Story

February 20, 2012 by

4

I feel like I’m accidentally writing a love story. I’m writing the story of these two guys meeting. And it’s going to be the beginning of an epic friendship. And that’s fine. That’s… dandy. But I’m at this point where they’re sort of beginning to trust each other for the first time. Where they realise […]

That Awkward Moment When You Read a Sentence And it Doesn’t End the Way You Thought it Octopus

February 16, 2012 by

2

I’m beginning to get nervous about the length of Wizards. Not that it’s actually that long as of yet but… it’s like I’m drawing something and even though only a small section exists I can see the shape of what’s coming and… I’m afraid my theory of how much of the plot I am going […]

Don’t Try to Prove You’re Not Drunk

February 13, 2012 by

2

Last week I started running through and editing the first few chapters of Wizards. Just a little. Just to make sure where I started and what I think I’m writing are actually the same thing. So far the editing has mostly been me thinking, He needs to be more drunk. Which of course makes me […]

Unreasonably Anxious About a Fictional Character

January 31, 2012 by

Caris: And he’s sitting in the meeting thinking, Wish I could just shoot him. Jamie would have shot him by now. Me: That’s true. But Jamie has impulse control problems. I’ve decided what I like best about being a writer. Okay, what I like best about being a writer today. Sometimes, if you ask me […]

Plot: Gladiator Style

January 19, 2012 by

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 […]

It’s Not That I Want to Eat Your Brains, I Just Want to Be Inside Your Head

January 17, 2012 by

I have this problem. I’m a little too fond of people’s brains. Not in zombie way, in a… I want to crawl inside their heads and rummage around sort of way. (I was going to reassure you that I didn’t mean you, I meant my characters, but you know what? If I could I’d go […]

My Brilliance, Let Me Show You It

January 13, 2012 by

2

I am lying on the floor, staring up at the ceiling, thinking about things. Deep important things. (And only a little bit about alcohol and explosions.) I just figured out that in the two weeks I took off over the new year I accidentally wrote fifteen thousand words of various things. Which makes me feel […]

Ethics for Heroes 101

January 12, 2012 by

3

I typed ‘illegal’ into the search bar on my computer this morning, and the first result was my Wizards project. I’m wondering if this is Pan making some sort of judgement. Oddly it’s also the top result if you search for ‘hero’ as well, despite that being the file name of the Path project.* This […]

Planning a Heist (Why Talking to Convicts Might Be A Better Plan)

January 11, 2012 by

5

So I’m planning a heist. Or at least, I think I am. And no, this isn’t a confession regarding my criminal tendencies. This is just… I think Wizards has a heist in it. So heist. Which means heist research. Which means — okay, lots of reading stuff (and wishing woefully that there was a straightforward […]

Less Action HERO, More Action Hello-Did-I-Set-That-On-Fire?

January 10, 2012 by

8

When I started writing Wizards I spent some time trying to figure out what sort of genre it fit into. I mean, okay, it’s science fiction, borderline fantasy but I needed to know more specifically than that. Because — wizards, okay? But we’re not talking epic fantasy wizards. There’s no great quest or universal do-what […]
