Okay, so recently I’ve noticed that there are certain… similarities between the two series’ I’m writing. Not in story or character but some of the underlying ideas are the same. Fundamentally, this is not surprising. An author’s obsessions tend find their way onto the page somehow. And my doctorate — if it achieved nothing else […]

So time and I are having a fight apparently. Taking some space. Trial separation. It’s the only explanation. In the last week (at least, I’m assuming it was a week, who knows at this point?) I have gradually lost the ability to recognise time at all. I lose track of what day it is (okay, […]

Our 100th post was Kandace’s lack of research! Wish I’d known, we could have had a celebration–I was thinking a comment-in / drink-in 😉 Maybe at 150?.. or before, if anyone’s interested?
