The House Always Wins. Especially if the House is in Alaska?
March 14, 2013
by Kandace Mavrick
So I have this card game on my phone. It’s called Alaska. It’s not overly complicated but I’ve become strangely fascinated with it.

So I broke through the tricky transition part of the book last week. (Yay!) (And also, finally. Sucker took me a week to get right.) Which means that I am now on the sprint to the finish line. The part where I can see everything between here and the end and I just have to […]

Possibly More ‘Violates’ Expectations Than ‘Subverts’
February 21, 2013
by Kandace Mavrick
Me: I am in this kind of drifty, exhausted, sleep-deprived place. It is doing funny things to my head. And my spelling. My head space is not aided by the fact that I just read this story that was all deep and metaphysical and twisty with philosophy and literary references. It was not fun per […]
When You Relate to Your Characters a Little TOO Much…
February 19, 2013
by Kandace Mavrick
I’m trying to figure out the next section of Wizards. So far this has meant a certain amount of banging my head against the wall and then deciding I was right to start with and circling back to the beginning. At which point it becomes clear that I am wrong and… I have no idea […]
