This is a Public Service Announcement. This is Only a Test.
So it turns out my capacity to talk about myself, my writing, and stories in general is more or less infinite. Nobody is shocked. Well, me, a little. I never intended to write here this regularly.* It creates expectations. (That should be read in a deep and portentous voice: Expectaaa-tionss…!) I’d just started to wonder: […]
How to Be Spoiler-Proof*
October 18, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
Was going to write about this stuff in paragraphs but… Can’t words. Head -> floor. So I present to you and episode of This Totally Made Sense at the Time, I Swear. Starring me and Arkem as… well, our regular rather ludicrous selves. Me: Tell me I don’t want to spoiler myself for the next […]

Monday Blurb: Walking in from the North
October 18, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
Now one last try! Here’s my attempt at a Neon Genesis style story–that is, a messed up re-working of Biblical themes, with maybe some odd pseudo-Freudian references. … yay! I think I’ve won! ~~~~~ Walking in from the North: Chronicles of Adam Kadamon He came walking in from the North; Adam Kadamon, man born of a fruit […]
In Retrospect, I Should Have Seen It Coming
October 17, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
Friday Was spent relating to a sociopath and questioning the limits of my self-control. And, you know, causing people to laugh at me. Me: …that’s normal, right? Arkem: Indeed Me: Oh good. I’m… not totally sure what constitutes normal right now. Arkem: Is it important? …. And shouldn’t you be working? Me: I am! I […]

Icky Theory: Bias
October 14, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
So I have a (not so secret) bias to admit. While I’m writing about ebooks and electronic publishing… I’m not actually that much of a fan.* There are two main issues I have with the form as it stands: One is about the tiresome ‘enhanced book’ that publishers seem to trot out every decade over […]

If Any of You Are From the Future, Please Raise Your Hand
October 14, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
I really want a time machine right now. Then I could go into the future and find people who’ve read my books and rant at them about the way these stories are falling together in my brain without violently spoilering them. (Okay, yes, I could use a time machine for lots of other cool stuff […]
Ghost Cow and Other Stories
October 13, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
So I was asked to write about the ghost cow* this evening, and I thought ‘why not?’ The ghost cow (as I’ve come to develop between returning books at the library) is an avenging animal rights crusader. Eaten by a group of careless omnivores, the cow then visits each in a kind of delicatessen Christmas […]

Plan Life. God Laughs. God Rewrites Plan.
October 13, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
Things are not going the way I thought they would. The new parts of TRTH were supposed to be giving a voice to one character, and increasing the page space of a second. And then on Friday this other character just shouldered his way in and now there’s blood all over the place and he’s […]
Wednesday Poetry: Listening
October 12, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
Just a quickie! ;D ~~~~~ Watching you clack the keys. Board silent to me—your head wired to the sound; all I have is the plastic depression, the acoustic hollow. Though I see your neck bent over the perfection of your music. It is watching the smoke of a firework blow after the bang. The laser […]
Volunteering to be Roadkill
October 12, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
I just wrote… I don’t even know what that was. I just wrote 2000 words of… no, I honestly don’t know. But my head apparently has some rather dark places in it. I mean, I know what it is. It’s a new chapter of book two of Path (also known by its awesome codename TRTH). […]
