There is no official video clip for this song. Which means I’m totally justified in giving you this one instead.* I still remember this moment In the back of my mind The time we stood with our shaking hands The crowds in stands went wild / And the cynics were outraged Screaming, ‘This is absurd!’ Cause for […]

Do You Trust Me?

Diesel Sweeties comic. First person asks, "Do you trust me?" Second answers, "Of course." First asks, "Do you 'leave me along with your pizza trust me'?" Second answers, "Sure, why not?" First asks, "Do you 'naked pillow fight' trust me?" Second answers, "Hypothetically!" First asks, "Do you 'I just thought of an awesome domain name that isn't taken' trust me?" Second doesn't answer. Looks awkwardly dismayed. First asks, "What if I sign a non-compete?" Second answers, "Can't we just have weird sex in public?"

  I really like exploring people’s boundaries. The difference between what they say without thinking, what they say after they think it through and where they end up if you walk them all the way through the potential consequences.

Chris Pine (Jim Kirk) in the driver's seat of a convertible throwing back his head and laughing.

This song is hilarious if you turn it up really loud and imagine Jim Kirk is singing it. As this was the way I was introduced to it I have no ability to hear it any other way. I’m the captain of this ship so / Come on climb into my golden cockpit

Cop asks driver, "Do you know how fast you were going?" Driver answers, "Do any of us REALLY know anything?" Cop looks struck by this. Final panel is the two of them sitting on a hill together, gazing out at the view. Cops says, "Sometimes I wonder if we're part of something bigger..." Driver says, "Do you believe in dragons?" Cop says, "Oh my god yes."

Natural Homemade Glue Recipe: 1 cup flour, 1 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp vinegar

Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night and start writing I mix things up. I’ll confuse homonyms, I’ll drop words out of sentences, I’ll imagine that I know anything at all about mixing glue. I’ll get my characters the wrong way around. I don’t know why I do this. I actually […]

How to Write a Query Letter: Again, and Again, and Again

May 22, 2014

I’m writing query letters again. Because it’s been pointed out to me that in order to sell this book I probably have to tell people about the book. Which is fair. This ought to be easy. I’ve already written a query letter template. Surely I just write a little personalisation sentence to tweak it for […]

Be the Cheese You Want to See in the World

'Poorly Drawn Lines' comic entitled: 'It's time to start thinking about your future'. The first panel says, 'What are your goals?' and shows a man with a pen and a list. The second panel says, 'How many of them involve cheese?' We see the list. It reads, 'Buy cheese. Eat cheese. Get a job. Be proactive.' The third panel says, 'Can you do the cheese ones first?' and shows the man eating cheese. The fourth panel says, 'Can you make the rest of them involve cheese as well?' We see a revised list. 'Buy cheese' and 'Eat cheese' have been ticked off. 'Get a job' has been altered to 'Get a cheese' and 'Be proactive' has been altered to 'Be cheese'.

  I’m not saying I’ve ever made a list like this, but I’m not saying I haven’t…
