NaNoWriMo!
NOT! Yeah, being an Australian (and so normally having exams in November) has never made it easy to NaNo. So, when I have attempted it, I’ve always felt pretty jazzed! Of course, now I have no exams, and should be able to get up at 3am before a full days work and make a mash […]
Friday Fiction: The Miracle: One.Three
October 23, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
Later when I touch you to the wind, the sky picks up and I let you go softly from my hand. The early autumn surrounds me, trees still holding their leaves and trembling, pausing in the wind before they too, let their dead go. I never wanted you to go, and now I send your […]
Wednesday Poetry: Untitled

All our shocked–and secretly smiling–bodies. ~~~~~ Wow this is a short one (but I love it)!
Monday Blurb: Walking in from the North
October 18, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
Now one last try! Here’s my attempt at a Neon Genesis style story–that is, a messed up re-working of Biblical themes, with maybe some odd pseudo-Freudian references. … yay! I think I’ve won! ~~~~~ Walking in from the North: Chronicles of Adam Kadamon He came walking in from the North; Adam Kadamon, man born of a fruit […]
Icky Theory: Bias
October 14, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
So I have a (not so secret) bias to admit. While I’m writing about ebooks and electronic publishing… I’m not actually that much of a fan.* There are two main issues I have with the form as it stands: One is about the tiresome ‘enhanced book’ that publishers seem to trot out every decade over […]
Ghost Cow and Other Stories
October 13, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
So I was asked to write about the ghost cow* this evening, and I thought ‘why not?’ The ghost cow (as I’ve come to develop between returning books at the library) is an avenging animal rights crusader. Eaten by a group of careless omnivores, the cow then visits each in a kind of delicatessen Christmas […]
Wednesday Poetry: Listening
October 12, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
Just a quickie! ;D ~~~~~ Watching you clack the keys. Board silent to me—your head wired to the sound; all I have is the plastic depression, the acoustic hollow. Though I see your neck bent over the perfection of your music. It is watching the smoke of a firework blow after the bang. The laser […]
BooYah!!!

… and I sent Bibliotek off to my supervisor! This isn’t really that big a deal, it’s only the next furthest edit, but I have been promising that for the past three months!
Monday Blurb: My Duet With An Artist
October 10, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
All I really have to say, is that this piece took me… eight years to write (off and on) for my Honours degree at uni. Why did I think a creative disertation on orality versus literacy was a good idea?! ~~~~~ My Duet With An Artist You might say that Jacob is a paradox, an […]
Bibliotek: Nanograph Three
October 8, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
<— Previous ~~~~~ Ned watched as Agent Choinski awkwardly followed his own calm lead, taking a gulp of air before pulling the hood of her hazmat closed. He nodded to her, “you’re safe now,” he said roughly over the mic. He’d already felt the pinch in his own throat of cartilage fracturing in the gas. […]
