Nuke Them From Orbit. It’s the Only Way to Be Sure.

February 14, 2012 by

Me: I need to stop reading about serial killers. I’m starting to dream about them. Rick: And become one. Me: What? Rick: On your blog today… Me: No! That’s totally different. That wasn’t serial killing. That was… well, one at a time, in isolation, not one after another until they’re all dead. Not serial killing. […]

Paul S: Are you still looking for good names? Me: I am always looking for names. I have a collection. I chloroform them and pin them to the wall and cackle with glee. Paul S: Hopefully they “go to sleep and never wake” from the chloroform — rather than wake up pinned to a collection […]

Rarely Do I Ever Have A Thought By Itself

This. So I’m going to go back to reading about serial killers now. I would tell you why but… well, it’d take a while.  

What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

February 2, 2012 by

6

When people ask I generally tell them that I’ve always wanted to be a writer. That’s not really true. It wasn’t until I was about seven it first occurred to me that ‘writer’ was a profession and that I, one day, might need one of those. And to be perfectly honest, these two realisations didn’t […]

Unreasonably Anxious About a Fictional Character

Caris: And he’s sitting in the meeting thinking, Wish I could just shoot him. Jamie would have shot him by now. Me: That’s true. But Jamie has impulse control problems. I’ve decided what I like best about being a writer. Okay, what I like best about being a writer today. Sometimes, if you ask me […]

Is It Just Me Or Does That Sound Like a Statement of Sexual Preference?

Me: (reading the sticker in the back of our neighbour’s car) The harder the better. Is it just me or does that sound like a statement of sexual preference? Arkem: I don’t wear my statements of sexual preference on my car. Me: Do you wear them on your shirt instead? Arkem: No. Me: You barely […]

White Blank Page

I am suffering from a rather severe form of blank page syndrome right now. My laptop (the lamented Pan Narrans) is falling apart again. Gracefully, but dramatically. So I’m using my backup laptop, which, after the last Pan debacle is at least installed with a relatively current OS and the most important programs. But otherwise, […]

This is My Favourite Chapter

January 18, 2012 by

Over the holidays I spent possible an unreasonable amount of time reading something in the internet. Okay, many things. The internet is fun to play with when you can’t sleep and you can’t go for a run. But one thing in particular. A story that someone wrote last year, posting chapter by chapter as she […]

It’s Not That I Want to Eat Your Brains, I Just Want to Be Inside Your Head

January 17, 2012 by

I have this problem. I’m a little too fond of people’s brains. Not in zombie way, in a… I want to crawl inside their heads and rummage around sort of way. (I was going to reassure you that I didn’t mean you, I meant my characters, but you know what? If I could I’d go […]
