I am going through the end of the book so fast it’s a little disturbing. Partly because holding it all my head is starting to make me feel like I’ve got a zoetrope in there, but also because I’m so focused on it I’m not really connecting properly with the real world. Like, okay — […]

Me: Wrote another chapter today. Rick: Yay. More explosions? Me: This is like… the aftermath of the explosion. Rick: Hmmm. Explosion wasn’t big enough then. Me: It was a very little one, in point of fact. The idea is to not blow up my main characters. Rick: I suppose you might need bounds on things […]

I just found out that once upon a time they made a TV series of Diana Wynne Jones’ Archer’s Goon. Brilliant book. So I was… excited and wary. We watched the first episode last night and I’m still trying to figure out if I want to watch the rest. It was terrible but in that […]

Don’t Worry Bear by Greg Foley is a book that you should all read. It is about being a bear and not worrying. It is only 24 pages long. It may also be about friendship. But that’s quite deep comparatively, and I’m not sure my head is up to it right now. I think, in […]

Me: ….I’ll have you gagged, beaten bloody and then forced to dress as a mime so others will know to avoid you. Is that better? Rick: Yes. But maybe will know how much they need to avoid you? Me: No, that sounds awkward. Rick: Yeah, but, like the degree. Like there’s vagabond, man with a […]

I am… staring at the ceiling and trying to figure how the latter part of the book happens. I mean, I know what happens, but my original mini-synopsis is going to bring the book in about 20-40 000 words short of the length I want it to be. So I need to tweak it a […]

I honestly don’t know if this drives me crazy or if I really like it. My OCD tendencies are at war with my love of individualism and object anthropomorphisation. I think I like it. Right now it’s making me smile. I’ll take that.
