Books are Good in Bed
September 19, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
Also excellent when sick. Flat surface to line tablet up on so you can stare at them, depressed. Blunt object to beat yourself to death with. Frustration relief (if you don’t mind throwing them across the room). Distraction. Cure-all.

Conspiracy of Microbes
September 18, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
I feel… unbalanced. Or Wizards does.* Partly this is because I just wrote three scenes from Gray’s P.O.V. in a row (I kept shifting to Jamie and then muttering ‘no’ and flipping it) but mostly I think, it’s because I’m sick. I’m still working (mostly) but I’ve lost my perspective. Yesterday I wrote the next […]

Sometimes I think it would be good to have a forecast like this. Sometimes I think it would just be depressing to know.

When I Was Eight
September 14, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
I saw the Berlin wall fall. I saw the end of apartheid. I saw someone have their face smashed in with the butt of a rifle. I saw soldiers of two different countries jog through the streets of the town I lived in. I saw a kid in my school, a victim of corporal punishment, […]
Productive Chaos
September 13, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
I am having a day of productiveness. I think. I think because today has sort of been about lining up dominos. When I knock them down we’ll see if I was building pretty patterns or chaos. But I think when they fall I’ll have the next one/two/three chapters of wizards sorted. I was supposed to […]

In case you hadn’t heard: The new Discworld series “The Watch” (AKA CSI:Ankh-Morpork) has been approved by Terry Pratchett and will go into production with BBC Worldwide. The project to film GOOD OMENS is also going forward. — Diane Duane I am… cautiously excited. Because those are two texts that I love and adore so they […]

There’s an old theory of reporting (which I can’t readily find a reference too because I apparently suck at google today) which says that something on the other side of the world has to be something like a thousand times more awful for it to have the same impact as one person suffering in your […]
All of the Above
September 10, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
I like to fly. I do. But I also can’t sleep on planes. This is a problem because there is a point of exhaustion that you pass where reading gives you a headache and you’re too twitchy to sit still and listen to music and your travelling companion (if you have one) is sleeping and […]
Turns Out, Having Insomnia in the Middle of the Night is a Really Pointless Way to Spend Your Evening
September 7, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
So I was going to write something intelligent today. It was going to be filled with humour and quiet excitement and may even have included something profound. But as I did not really sleep last night I’m sort of squinting at my laptop trying to remember how words work. I don’t sleep through the night. […]
