Sharp as a Row Boat
Last night I went to see CCR* play. It was at the Mountain Winery in the Saratoga hills, which is an absolutely gorgeous venue. So much so that I sort of wanted to just stand around muttering, “Gee, it’s so pretty.” Instead I took dodgy photos with my phone while Arkem made remarks about how […]

Much Ado About Shinies
July 16, 2013
by Kandace Mavrick
So yesterday I celebrated Bastille Day* by going to see Much Ado About Nothing. What do these two things have in common? Absolutely nothing. But as I usually celebrate Bastille Day by forgetting it entirely** I feel this is a step forward. And Much Ado was hilarious. Of Shakespeare’s plays it is, oddly enough, […]

You and Me, We’re Just Fine
July 12, 2013
by Kandace Mavrick
This song has an eerie kind of way of creeping into your head and getting stuck there on a loop. I don’t really know what most of it means but the chorus line of, You and me, we’re just fine is lovely even if it’s the only part your understand.

A Child of Five Would Understand This. Send Someone to Fetch a Child of Five*

Okay, so I’ve decided that Sydney is secretly located in the arctic circle. It’s the only possible explanation for how cold my fingers are. Also the wifi password here has a distinct ‘fortress of solitude’ vibe. On the plus side hanging out in a house with a seven year old means there’s finally someone on […]

Changing Timezones is a Little Like Side-Stepping Into Another Universe

So my sister? Lives in the Torchwood Hub. Okay, not the one in Cardiff. But this is clearly an Australian outpost. She told me they found a pterodactyl when they moved in, so I was kind of expecting it. Especially after I confided this to her and admitted that they did in fact have a […]

Running Away From Home
July 8, 2013
by Kandace Mavrick
I may have forgotten to mention it (because I’m still being alarmed that it’s July) but I’m leaving town today. I’ll be working while I’m away but changing time zones repeatedly may result in posts appearing on a more abstract than usual schedule. Me: You know how every time I go away I say more […]

Straight to Hell
July 5, 2013
by Kandace Mavrick
This band does rock interpretations of folk songs and sea shanties and, well, they’re kind of awesome. I think “Here’s to the Gents and Ladies And the foolish times we spent They cost me Afterlife in Paradise And they were worth every single cent” …. I’ll dive right into damnation With a smile across my […]

The Second and a Half Draft
July 4, 2013
by Kandace Mavrick
This last pass of the edit is annoying. I keep having to tell myself off. I’ll be cruising through a scene and I’ll hiccup over something and backtrack and glare at it. But it won’t be an easy fix. At this point things are either insanely minor, and I take care of them without even […]

House burned down. Car stolen. Cat exploded. Did 1500 easy words, so all in all it was a pretty good day.*

I have reached the end of the book in the current draft, which is not the same as saying I’ve finished the draft but is close. I still have to take another quick spin through to double-check the changes and then possibly proofread, because that’s always a good time. I am actually super excited about […]
