First Person, Third Person, Or What in the World Am I Doing?
April 5, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
So yesterday, because my brain was stupid and apparently didn’t want me to write the argument that I was supposed to be writing, I rewrote the first chapter of Wizards into the third person. Just to see what it would look like. The answer is, the first half looks pretty good. Not so sure about the […]

Wednesday Poetry: Sanguine
April 4, 2012
by Paul McLaughlan
Now I know the taste of your lips: it is an ardor. Sanguine as, what’s left after the thing itself is gone. Which proves I’ve lived. And that’s there amongst all my treasured phrases. This is why I write. For the ambiguity. And can I describe it? 27 Feb 2005–4 April 2012
Nothing to See Here. Moving Right Along.
April 4, 2012

I am having a problem with sucking. Much sucking today. And yesterday. Yesterday was awful. I wrote some things but I’m pretty sure they were dreadful. I don’t really want to look at them, I’m afraid I’ll be ashamed of myself. Editing never works when I’m in this mood because everything I’ve ever written seems […]

My Neurosis: Let Me Show You It
April 3, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
People seem to like Wizards better than Path. What’s with that? I’m trying to decide whether I should be offended on behalf of my first-born, or excited that my skills are improving. Is it just that it’s new and shiny? That there are more explosions?* Maybe I should just write it off as the people […]
Two’s Company, Three’s the Musketeers. Love All, Trust Me.
April 2, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
I’m not sure I’m ready for it to be Monday. In case you’re feeling the same I thought I’d share some distractions with you. This is Shakespeare or Batman? You would think that the difference between these two illustrious personages was dramatic enough that one could not readily be mistaken for the other. Turns out, not […]
Time to Submit
March 30, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
Today is Friday. Which is taking me a little bit by surprise as for some reason I spent most of last night and yesterday evening convinced today was going to be the weekend. But this is good. It means I have one more day to avoid making final decisions about what I’m going to submit […]
The For-God’s-Sake-Put-the-Book-Down-and-Walk-Away Approach to Editing
March 29, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
I just found a plot hole in the second book of Path. It’s tiny really, but I’m still sitting here thinking, How did no one notice that? How did I not notice that? I have to rewrite all of, oh, two paragraphs, so it’s not a problem at all. Except for the way it makes […]
Neuroscience of an eBook
March 28, 2012
by Paul McLaughlan
There have been some articles lately about the neuroscience of ereading (though mainly based on cobbling together previous work on reading in general, and from anecdotal evidence regarding ereading practice), mainly summated by Chris Meadows, writing at Teleread: Does e-reading affect our memory of what we read? Do we remember less when we read e-books? […]
You Are in a Dark Room
March 28, 2012
by Kandace Mavrick
Yesterday was… well. There was some stuff accomplished, some ‘the world is out to get me’, some starting again at the beginning, and a modicum of procrastinating in rebellion against frustration. I’ve decided I’d rather not circle that merry-go-round again, so I’ve decided to share my frustration with you. Don’t you feel special? I can’t decide if […]
