These Entrails Are For Arkem (or, What Would You Call a REMARKABLY Drunk Wizard?)
So, I’m still wrestling with the names of the characters in Wizards, although now at least I have placeholder names that don’t cause massive cognitive dissonance. …hasn’t stopped me banging my head into the table when I try to talk about them to people though. It’s very hard to have a conversation about a character […]

Dreams of Writing
August 20, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
For a long time, I never remembered any of my dreams. 'For a long time' is particular, as I do distinctly recall being a young child, recounting to my Grandmother how I dreamt of a piebald man, trying to bite chunks out of my flesh. Say, 7 or 8 years old.

Just Because it Would Be Ludicrous and Impractical is No Reason to Dismiss it Out of Hand
August 20, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
So I’m writing this thing and I totally want people to read it. To find out if I am, in fact, brilliant. Or just humorously deluded. But when I think about actually showing what I’m working on to someone my brain goes, “Yes, but not yet… I need to do this thing first. And that […]
Friday Fiction: The Miracle: Chapter One.One
August 19, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
And here’s some more of the Miracle. While I gave you a piece from later in the novel last time (as a better stand alone scene), this is from the very beginning. The chapter is a little longer than the last, so I thought I’d serialise it, as per Bibliotek. If you have thoughts, comments, […]

I’m Attempting to Get Scurvy and You’re Helping
August 19, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
So Rick has started to take retaliatory measures towards the fact that the sandman and I aren’t getting along. Tonight for instance he ran in, a good hour after he normally heads bedwards, yelled ‘Emergency Bedtime’, flipped the switch to plunge the world into darkness and lunged for the bedroom. And I was left in […]

Infecting People With Fiction
August 18, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
Today I have the headache I didn’t have yesterday. My brain and I are bonding over the writing at the moment, but we’re not on the same page as far as sleep goes. But on the bright side the first thing I did this morning (after fetching juice and almost falling over in kitchen — […]

Throwing Up on Someone’s Shoes is a Great Way to Break the Ice
August 17, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
My brain seems to have taken the crazy juice. So I keep waking up every five minutes. Cue Rick banging his head against the mattress moaning, ‘Want. Sleep’. Which is, you know, hilarious. But still, not so good. Plus, it’s not like I don’t sympathise Me: Being able to sleep on the third day only […]

Hat Man, na na na-na, Hat Man!

Contrary to what the title suggests, this is not my outing as Perth’s premier superhero Hat-Man (though he is a dashing customer, isn’t he?.. ;) )
The Exciting Adventures of Not-Harry and Charles Watson
August 16, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
Still haven’t worked out names for the main characters. Can’t keep calling them Not-Harry and Charles Watson, it’s disorienting. Am therefore having discussions like this: “How about ‘Larry’?” “You want her to name him after a stooge?” “My sister’s named after a hobbit…” I was gonna stick another scrap of it in here cause I […]

Bibliotek: Chapter Three.One
August 15, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
Out on the street from the pub, there were ‘no-go’ zones around the hit, marked by push notifications: ‘Street closed. Follow prompts to detour.’ The notes buzzed the mobiles in their pockets, tingling like a mild electric fence.
