Swear Like A Cartoon Character
Since yesterday it’s been pointed out to me that I tend to swear like a cartoon character. Now I’ll grant you Criminently, Nutsy! is straight out of a Disney movie* but I don’t think oh my fruity lord belongs in any cartoon nor does the previously mentioned holy crap**, and tarnation coffee fields has nothing […]
Swearing = Prayer?
August 2, 2011

I was thinking about that whole ‘don’t take the lord’s name in vain’ thing. And I’m not sure it makes sense to me. I mean, when someone says, ‘Oh my God’ or ‘Jesus Christ’ I guess they might just be using the phrases as random swear words, but the reason they’re used in those sort […]

Paul thinks I should update you on my search for representation thing. I think this may be the first step on a descending spiral of madness and despair, but what do I know? So. On Friday an agent (one of those at the very top of my shortlist of favourites) asked to see a partial […]

<— Previous ~~~~~ Chapter Two “I seem to have misplaced a bound, you see.” The two of them squeezed through the hole, newly torn in the ‘crete of the vault wall, its steel joists raw as bare bond, and jagged as if a screen artifact of hi-res fire. Then they fell into the blank alleyway […]

So. Er. Some clarity. Or: A thing you ought to know (that may or may not make me appear more sane when babbling later on). If you know this already you can to skip this bit. Otherwise, this will function as a history lesson. I wrote The Path of the Monster as the creative component […]
