The Song of Dalsarion: Three
2 As the deer Sun, starting her daily discipline denied for herself that repast at the shores of night. She in her searching, rose. There-in doing so, raising us all. Begun those muttered and lilting lines that the birds would continue throughout that day. As always, and a little behind the tune, Dalsarion awoke. ~~~~~ […]
I Have Tasted the Lemon Pudding of Victory
November 3, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
There is a particular entrance to Royal Perth Hospital that is ridiculously difficult to drive to from where I live. Monday marked the third time I attempted this feat. The first time I had a lot of fun with one way streets. The second time I found out that in addition to an unnecessarily large […]

The Song of Dalsarion: Two
November 2, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
They were all very silent, still, as Dalis eased himself back to the uncertain ground. He looked at them, tried to meet their faces. Though they would not meet him, one for one they would meet each other’s look. What would they say to that? Then quietly and from the back, one hand was held […]
The Second Time I Was Taller
November 2, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
The second time I studied Shakespeare I was taller. And slightly more conscious. I was an undergrad and it was Shakespeare: Text and Film which meant we got to read the plays and watch the movies for credit. (I actually spent quite a bit of my undergrad career taking classes that allowed the watching of […]

So time and I are having a fight apparently. Taking some space. Trial separation. It’s the only explanation. In the last week (at least, I’m assuming it was a week, who knows at this point?) I have gradually lost the ability to recognise time at all. I lose track of what day it is (okay, […]

Quick note before the end of October. I’m not going to be posting any of my usual work this November, but instead editing my verse novel The Song of Dalsarion (see previous post.) Hopefully you’ll all love it just as much! 😀 Your regular posts will return for December. Paul
The First Time

This is an answer in two parts. Except I might not tell you the second part. Unless you want me to. Or, you know, I’m bored later. I’ve actually studied Shakespeare a couple of times. Well, I say ‘studied’. I spent eighteen months of high school barely conscious and I only have two clear recollections […]

Character Pricks
October 29, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
Apparently many of my characters are pricks. That doesn’t bother me so much, as a fact, but I’ve been thinking about who I have, and what they’re like. Matthew / the Miracle: as you’d imagine for a superhero, is generally a pretty nice man. Of course he has anger inside him, and a surprising sense […]
If Thou Speak’st False, Upon the Next Tree Shalt Thou Hang Alive
October 28, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
I have issues with Shakespeare. I just wanted to say that. Sometimes people get upset with me when I criticise him, so I thought I’d say that up front in case you want to, I don’t know, plan an intervention or something. Honestly, I really do like his work. Okay, I love his words. I […]
