Arkem: Hey, Kandace. Me: Hello, you! You are on my to-do list for today! Arkem: How exciting. Me: Well… not that I need to do you. That would be a little wrong. But things. Things with you. Arkem: Moving in the right direction. But not quite out of the dodgy woods yet. Me: Right. We […]

I think we should all take this as a lesson. Don’t tease bears. It’s not nice.
CLICK THE SQUARES

This. No, really. Go. Click the squares. Actually, wait. Don’t. Do you have a minute? Okay. Is your boss anywhere nearby? Might want to do something about that… Okay. Are your speakers on? Right. Now. Click the squares.
We’re All Just People Making Choices
June 19, 2012

I keep writing these really dodgy things lately and then look at them and thinking, What? Today one of my characters thought: The opposition didn’t need names. And then I thought, That’s appalling. Of course they need names. Taking away their names, not honouring them with that identity — it’s dehumanising. You turn a person […]

Ducklings. News at Eleven.

Paul S: Okay, so why is a duck? Me: That’s one that’s puzzled the sages throughout the ages. Paul S: My current theory is: what else would it be? Once upon a time I used to watch the end of the news every day because it was on before M*A*S*H. I didn’t pay any attention, […]
