Screaming Inarticulately at Inanimate Objects is a Valid Life Choice
Today is not going well so far. So I thought instead of yelling at you guys (who are probably innocent, well, innocent of this) I would go and yell at the ceiling. It’s not its fault either but it’s very stoic and probably won’t fall on me if it gets in a snit. To distract you I […]

Where is My “Humanity For Dummies” Book?
October 17, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
The things I’ve done that worked the best were the things I was the least certain about, the stories where I was sure they would either work, or more likely be the kinds of embarrassing failures people would gather together and talk about until the end of time. They always had that in common: looking back […]

Me: ….I’ll have you gagged, beaten bloody and then forced to dress as a mime so others will know to avoid you. Is that better? Rick: Yes. But maybe will know how much they need to avoid you? Me: No, that sounds awkward. Rick: Yeah, but, like the degree. Like there’s vagabond, man with a […]

The Writers Who Stare at Ceilings
October 11, 2012

I am… staring at the ceiling and trying to figure how the latter part of the book happens. I mean, I know what happens, but my original mini-synopsis is going to bring the book in about 20-40 000 words short of the length I want it to be. So I need to tweak it a […]

Arkem: You said something before that I thought should be addressed. You said you were writing. Possibly still are? Me: …yes. Arkem: Right. Then I wanted to make you aware of something. It’s Sunday. That’s a day when traditionally people don’t work. Me: Yes. Um. I couldn’t help it. You left me alone in the […]

The first time I watched Inception I wasn’t a big fan of it. I think because I’d seen the trailer and I loved the premise, so when I actually saw the movie I was disappointed that they didn’t spend a lot of time really exploring the possibilities inherent in the idea. A couple of years […]
